Easiest call ever! I called, said I wanted to cancel. I was immediately offer the $77 deal for 1 year, no royalty fees. I had a month left on my current plan, which they gave me a credit for, so it ended up being $69 plus change for another year of Sirius! Thanks everyone, love my Sirius, love it more at half price!

You have to buy a Starmate 5 Sirius receiver (~$100) for this. It is the only a la carte-capable receiver.

The Sirius website has an a-la-carte package for $6.99 a month, which requires a special receiver (as ElJayL said). Personally, the $77/year deal is better.

I called and told them I wanted to cancel. Liked it, but too expensive. Was immediately told they would give me 1 year at $67.32 + 5 months online. Thanks Fat Wallet.

Also they said in the future just call 1-800-998-7900 to get the cancellation department directly. If you forget you will be charged a full rate so put it on your outlook reminder!

Nice!

For the rest of you, if you're interested in the "$19.99 for 5 months" offer, you might want to specifically ask them about online access. (I wasn't given online access, and I presume it's b/c I didn't bring it up when I signed up for this 5-month offer last month.)

Yes that's right. I mentioned the $67 deal + 5 months online above and the lady said she could add the 5 months free to the 5 months for $20 deal. That's the best deal so far because you are talking about $4/month for the 5 month deal and about 5.60/month for the $67/year deal. You just have to remember to call again in another 5 months or you will get socked by a full rate!

Just called to renew my $77, but told them I wanted to cancel. CSR asked why, I said; "Too expensive" Was given $22.50 for 5 months. Which I think is $19.99 plus royalty fee. She did mention that if I call before it expires, I can get this same promotion, or a different one.

I re-upped pretty painlessly for $77... they never even mentioned the royalty, just $77 + tax, maybe because that was the plan I was already riding.

I just got my account renewed at the $77.00 plus $11.78 for Royalty fee, but be careful because at first they will want to sell it to you for the regular price, but all I did was mention the promotional price and the rep did it for me, good luck.

Just renewed a month before my 1 year Sirius contract expired for $68 total for another year with a $15 credit for the month I had left.

Went through cancellations dept and also got the basic internet streaming for a year included (which includes via Iphone app which I did not have before) SWEET! DEAL! Thanks OP

I would have renewed full price just to have Stern his Last year! Once he's gone bye bye satellite radio for me and I'm sure many others....

I hope Mel Karmazin is not reading this and it spoils the deal for anyone else.....
