I’d pay $5 a month if it was going to be the permanent price! When I’ve looked into it it’s more like $20 a month.

- macintux 4y agoBased on my limited time with the service (bought a new vehicle last January) if I let the trial period subscription lapse, they'll offer the lower price after a couple of weeks to lure me back in. I just let myself be lured, and anticipate doing so next time.
- brewdad 4y agoI refuse to support that business model of quadrupling the price for customers who forget to beg for the intro price every year. It feels so scummy. So Sirius gets no money from me.
- _yb2s 4y agoI agree, they also make it really hard to cancel, requiring waiting on hold and arguing with them a la AOL. They don’t seem to realize that the fact they behave this way is objectionable to whatever my demographic is… millennials I guess. I love the programming on Sirius XM but refuse to use it on principle.
- macintux 4y agoI figure if I can swallow my objections and give Disney, Amazon, and Google money, Sirius is barely a scratch on my conscience.
- tshaddox 4y agoI don’t like it on principle, but also I don’t like it because I know I’m likely to forget.
- eep_social 4y agoIt is always possible to get the service for about $5-7/month by contacting customer support and mentioning the price and switching to a competitor. They’ll put you on a promo that lasts a year for $5-7/month. You, in turn, will put another “save $100” reminder into your calendar for next year before the billing date.. and the cycle will continue. The cycle is well documented on the subreddit, no need to take me at my word. Yes it’s dumb but sxm also works better for my personal situation than Spotify etc.
