Since they are sending this out to all their listeners, I would say this is legit and you would have no fear of some card charge backlash.

Thanks for the great instructions Dwynne

Dwynne said:
Activation is having XM put the radio ID into their system. There is normally a charge for this ($10 online, $15 over the phone). These promo radios are supposed to ship pre-activated - meaning the radio IDs have been put in the system. Once in the system the ID is then sent out along with the tunes (and all the other authorized IDs). Then when you get your tuner, you turn it on and get a signal. If you wait long enough (maybe a day?) your tuner should "hear" its ID and start working. By going to the refresh page and putting in your radio ID, you speed this process up by instructing the system to go ahead and send your ID "now".

The process of getting the tuner to work would be called "authorization" or in XM's case a refresh. This is NOT activation. A few folks are reporting they can't get the refresh to work since Metron messed up scanning in their tuner IDs.

See the difference? Authorization VS activation? They designed the package to let a bar code reader scan the ID w/o opening the package. You place the order and as the pull and pack it they scan the ID and instruct the system you have a subscription. Your 3 month pre-pay starts at that time. Since they can't connect the tuner up w/o opening the package, they can't authorize (refresh) it, so it comes out of the package w/o any subscription - but the system has your ID "activated" by the scan. You just need to get your tuner to know it should work, you do this by just letting it get a good signl from the sats and can speed it up at the refresh page (or by calling and asking for a refresh).

So you need to:

1) Get your new tuner connected and working with audio on channel 1 w/plenty of signal - leave it on
2) Go to the refresh web page
3) Put in the radio ID - this is on the radio or tuner channel 0
4) Wait 30-60 minutes then see if you can tune the other channels

If the system will not accept your tuner ID, then yours is indeed NOT AUTHORIZED and you will have to call Metron then XM. If it does accept your ID, then it should be in the system and should work.

Dennis


Very important !!!!!!!!!!!!

As soon as you receive your radio try it out (or just hide it and let it stay on after you know it picks up all channels) to make sure it is OK.
To quote the offer "Returns are not accepted. Exchanges are accepted for defective equipment only and within 30 days of hardware receipt. All sales are final."

If you wait til xmas and it is defective you will be pressed for time.

Those are great prices! I have the original SkyFi and paid more than those prices just for the accessory kits (not including the tuner). And the SkyFi2 is even better than the original!

digduggler said: Crap, there goes my order (thanks to the fw effect). It was so low key before.

But, I cannot complain (even though I just did ) .

Sorry about that, I doubt they'll cancel your order, I think the O&A deal is still running

I'm just returning a deal to my fellow FW's. I still use my skyfi I got for $99 from a FW deal 18 months ago.


Edit to keep from sounding like a fart-tard

Sorry if I sound whiney. I was so excited and now I am guarded. Great deal though.

fercho said: How do you buy them at this price if you are a current customer?

I haven't ordered through this offer although I'm tempted to get yet another one... but when I ordered through a similar (not F&F) offer earlier this year, I just made sure to subscribe it to the same name and billing address.

After I got the unit and installed it, I called up Customer Service and asked "how do I go about adding this to my main account under the Family Plan" and they said that since it was a promotional offer (and I had pre-paid for 3 months at regular monthly price), I couldn't merge it into the main account until the 90 days were up.

I called after 90 days and they instantly merged the two accounts and gave me the 2nd unit at the discounted Family Plan rate from then on.

I assume this offer will work similarly but maybe someone else can confirm.

I don't think they'll cancel any orders or even stop it for awhile. When I did my deal last year it was active for awhile before they cancelled it. They might not be making any money, buy they are adding subscriptions and that looks good on the stock market.

link to old deal por favor?

digduggler said:
link to old deal por favor?

It's from early 2003 so I'm sure it's not on FW anymore.

It was a skyfi and homekit for $100 (when it would have been about $200, $130 for the unit and $70 for the kit) I had to keep it active for three months like this deal.

If anyone is intrested in another XM deal (I think the above is much hotter)
Here's the O&A Link

Code is OPANXM04

This is the older skyfi unit and you have to pay $1.99 extra for three months.FW thread

I didn't get anything, just the weekey email about what's coming on the air this week.

I ordered friday night and it's shipped. It should be here tomorrow

Most likely they do sales & marketing for XM. They handled the other deals.

If you go to their website, they state they are in Knoxville Tn.

Old deal link and my compilations.

Excellent deal! I've been looking for an extra XM Radio for the office and for $69, you can't beat that! Just wish there were some cheap SkyFi home kits (not bundled) I could get. I looked for the closeouts at WalMart mentioned a while back, but no luck.

Thanks OP! Just ordered two SkyFi2 units to replace my two old SkyFi units.

Thanks to Joey I was able to get in on this deal!

I ordered it on 11/22 and this morning I had an email telling me that it shipped yesterday(11/23) via UPS and it will be at my door on Monday(11/29)!!!!

Thanks Joey!!!!!

It's going to be a great Xmas for the husband!!!!

I got an e-mail almost instantly

Hmm, I still have no email confirmation after ordering yesterday. Don't want to call and blow it (or blow it for anyone else) yet. What are other's experience, lots seemed to have ordered?

Edit: I know that the last promotional event for xm like this (for roadies I believe) started not shipping after awhile, and they just flat out canceled many orders once they got wise. Call me paranoid.

This is a great deal. I just priced the Boom Box yesterday at Wal-Mart and it was $84 by itself.

why did i have to see this???

such a good price...must resist.

Mong said: You may be able to get a price adjustment if they lower the price before a certain peroid of time

Thanks Mong, lucky enough I didn't buy it at Wal-Mart, I wanted to price around first. So, I just placed an order for the $69 Boom Box bundled.

Does anyone know when the activation starts? I am asking cuz it is a Christmas gift. Thanks for any info

Activation starts from the day they ship the product.
Got in on the boom box budle as well. Have been looking to get an XM for some time, so I am definitely thrilled. Great find OP!!!!

I see that you didn't buy that now That's what I get for reading too fast.

I'm glad I was able to help, If not for joeyz34's post in the other thread I'd never be able to pass it on.

How do you sign up for O&A?

The partner code is still working as is the O&A code. They now show the new Pioneer Inno tuner ($300 or $270) and the NeXus (out of stock at $220/270) and other, newer tuners and bundles.

Both require a 6 month commitment at full price and the partner code still threatens full retail charge back if you are not supposed to be using the partner system (you don't work for XM or the designated partners). I don't know of anyone who has been charged-back, but you never know.
