Sirius XM - still finding ways to tick me off. - JoeM - 02-16-2021 While I think Sirius XM is one of the slimmest companies around, I had found a way to exist with them by doing the usual 6 month renewal boogie for some years now until today. Calling up with 2 days left on my contract, I was offered a $5 and change lifetime subscription with no need to call back to renew at anytime. However there was one catch. It required a charge card. I could not receive a yearly invoice. When I told the guy I was not interested in giving them my credit card and had been paying by invoice for a number of years I was told the only offer availability to me was the one mentioned and it required a credit card. If I wasn’t interested I could cancel the subscription. This is something new from them. I’m going to try calling back later. Has anyone gotten invoice billing recently? I’m wondering if they have ended it. Re: Sirius XM - still finding ways to tick me off. - vision63 - 02-16-2021 $5 dollars a month? That's pretty compelling. They just snatch my money off of my card every month. Re: Sirius XM - still finding ways to tick me off. - AllGold - 02-16-2021 No, all my renewals have been with a credit card. It is paid yearly, however, not monthly. Two things... My deal is only for a year, not lifetime. Second, mine is $5/month = $60/year, but the total comes out to about $72 because of extra fees. If they are offering $5/month straight up, I would take it (but I bet it comes out to about $6/month). Re: Sirius XM - still finding ways to tick me off. - Michael - 02-16-2021 You are better than me! Last time they called and offered $5 a month for a year I told them I'd do it if I could do it for 3 years and if I got an email confirming the 3 years for $5 a month. He hung up on me... As much as I've insisted I'll never do something I can't cancel online, I'd probably go ahead and do the Sirius deal with a credit card if they'd send me something that confirms the $5+ a month. Re: Sirius XM - still finding ways to tick me off. - Dubya - 02-16-2021 Is that 5 a month just for one vehicle or receiver or does it include Sirius app connection too?

Day 2: I hit myself in the face with a ball-peen hammer, it still really hurt. Day 3: I hit myself in the face with a ball-peen hammer, I was shocked to find it continued to really hurt.

Re: Sirius XM - still finding ways to tick me off. - Bill in NC - 02-17-2021 Got my $4.99 plus fees (here that's $6.29/month) offer for "Select" for a year via chat for a radio that had been de-activated for several years. I don't call places...I always use chat for customer service. Plus they gave me a trial of the top plan (includes streaming) for free for 3 months before I start getting charged. So that's zero for 3 months then $6.29/month for a year, then ~$25/month if I forget to call and re-negotiate. |
