Maybe divorced husband? darling horse?

Divorced husband was my guess also… Semantics

Just got 5 months “Sirius Premium” with Internet listening for $38.45. My 3 month trial ended a few days ago but they just cut it off today, so I called and told them that my “buddy” got 5 months for $25 and I’d like the same. He then said that it was for specific radios and I had to have a letter or an email from Sirius in order to get the deal but then he asked if I was renewing or starting a new radio to which I said it is a new subscription. Being that technically I didn’t have a subscription it was new & I got the promo. I’m pretty happy with it especially since I only have the car for 5 more months. Send me a PM if you need any help with details!

I got the same 12.99 plus tax for 3 months. I told them I was quitting and that was the best they would offer and I have to call back in 3 months to negotiate again.

Coming off a 6 month promotion I was offered full price, then $48/6months (including internet radio), pressed some more and settled with 5 months for $25 +$2.50 BS fee. So $27.50 for 5 months including internet radio. Calendar reminder set up for 5 months from now to call and bargain again...

Got the 5 for 25 in the mail and was tempted to re-subscribe.

However there was a little star saying plus taxes and fees.

How much are these fees actually per month when you add the royalty fees and taxes?

Thanks!

just got 5 for 25... thanks

My $20/5 month deal was about to expire. I called the Sirius cancellation dept and was told it's no longer available. The offered me 50% off for 6 months, ($38.85, plus royalty charge, for a total of $42.80).

I got a phone call the other day offering the 5 months for $24.95 and I took it. She also said they'd waive the reactivation fee. I somehow had a $1.6? credit that was also applied. Mine had cancelled September 26th and I didn't call back. Maybe don't call for a week or two and see if they call you offering that deal? I hope this helps some of you!

Which phone # did you go through?

Called to renew radios 2 and 3 (first radio has Lifetime subscription). I had been paying about $58/year for each additional radio. The best offer the CSR could come up with was the $77/year price. So I told him to cancel the additional radios. He then magically found the $26.97 / 6 months (plus fees and taxes) price in his system. I took it. It comes out to less than $30 per radio for the half-year.

He wouldn't budge on free internet service, which I had been getting for the last year. So that did get cancelled. I continue to have the lower-quality stream online because of my lifetime subscription, but that won't work on my Android phone. I may call them again to try to get the free upgraded stream sometime soon, but for now I'll live without it.

At least I got a native English speaker in Omaha, not somebody in India (I called at 1PM EST).

They first tried offering $95/year then I asked for the half off deal and he gave me the $77 which comes out to $85 after taxes

Sweet deal, thanks.

Just renewed today (Dec 2nd) for 5mo @ $25. Was also offered 1 year at $85. I had a credit on my account for my existing service, so out the door it was under $25 including taxes and fees.

My 5 mo for $25 was set to expire tomorrow, so I called 866-635-2349 to either cancel or renew at a discount. Selected Cancellation from the voice menu. Made sure I was pleasant to the CS rep (Lisa), and said it was not worth getting full price charged on my card for a renew. She immediately offered the 6 months for $25 ($29.40 with taxes, etc.) and I accepted. I also asked to not have it billed to my card, and she was very helpful in giving me the payment address information so I could do a bank bill-pay. She told me there would be $2 invoicing fee unless my payment arrived before the invoice was sent, so I set up the bank payment, so I set up the bank payment right after the call. Overall a very good experience.

DH = Dear Husband

DH = Designated Hitter!

Called today to cancel. Was offered $43.99/6mo. Politely declined. Rep said I see you were on a 5mo/$25 plan, and he extended it another 5mo. Easy 5 minute call.

4/2/12 Just got the 5mo/$25 plan...3rd time now...that somehow came to $26 & change with all fees. My current balance was for $15 for the current month almost ending that was also waived after 2 months for free that was the last deal offered. I had to talk to the cancellation dept. before they would offer anything close to this rate. This is for my wife's car radio that she listens to only once in a while. Not worth $15/month. They insisted that I sign up for the auto renewal to my credit card to do this, but said I can cancel the auto renewal at any time...(like tomorrow) so they don't charge the regular rate next September. And it only wasted an hour of my time on the phone! ( We may have a data plan on my wife's phone in 5 months that I can get Pandora on so next time we likely will cancel and hook the car radio up via the phone to Pandora. We have a lifetime subscription on a second radio that now is finally turning out to be a great deal. The only "trick" is to be nice to the reps. They are just doing their job!

I ENDED UP PAYING $148.65 FOR SIRIUS PREMIUM PLUS INTERNET FOR ONE YEAR. I'M TIRED OF CALLING EVERY 5 MONTHS AND DEALING WITH THIS CRAP. THE WOMAN I SPOKE WITH WAS LOCATED IN MANILA, PHILIPPINES AND HER NAME IS MONIQUE. NOT THAT IT MATTERS, JUST INTERESTING! I TRIED TO GET THE $75 A YEAR DEAL AND SHE OFFERED IT TO ME BUT IT DIDN'T INCLUDE THE BEST OF XM, WHICH I NEED FOR THE "OPIE & ANTHONY" SHOW. I ONLY CALLED TWICE AND I'M SURE IF I CALLED BACK A FEW MORE TIMES I COULD HAVE GOTTEN A BETTER DEAL, BUT NOT FOR A YEAR!

I know, but I had nothing to cancel. I'm one of the biggest proponents of this site and the tactic of saving money with these companies. However for the money I paid, I'm happy with I got.

Does it really explain everything?
