Howard starts on January 9th I believe so there won't be that much time to get your receiver if you want to be there for opening day.

Actually as a follow up to my previous post I went to activate again but took the screen a step further (clicked the last button "activate") and it brought me to a summary screen. There it displayed all my pertinant info and billing summary. I did month to month and was charged $5 for activation!

Thus the on-line code works and you do not need to do a yearly.

Oh, and as an side. I called Sirius prior to doing this and got a pretty clueless CSR. After several "holds", he told me that the code wouldn't work as it is based only on specific SID from sepcific sores. I decided to try anyway. Evidently he was incorrect (not surprisingly).

Thanks OP. I just got in.
This deal is good enough, and I just can't miss Howard Stern's opening day at Sirius!

Just ordered one...hopefully it goes through.

It is possible that the code only works at receivers purchased at Radio Shack (or a specific set of retailers), though not 100% sure.

I think you may be right....just used it on the Sportser Replay that I purchased at Radio Shack. Worked like a charm.

I just activated online. Code did not work for me. Paid $10 activation. Unit was purchased from Worst Buy. Code might only work for units purchased at specific retailers only. Not sure. YMMV

Go Howard! Finally in GA
Cheers

Activation is $15 for monthly plan. for other plans it is 10 dollars.

Not working for me. Sportster Replay from BB... I'm getting dinged for $10 on the activation and 0% discount on my cart.

can any one tell me why this Sirius so popular? any different to the normal radio?

mikeshecky said:This thread has been going for alittle while, seems if you bought from Radio Shack and sign up for more than the monthly subscription, the $5 activation will work. That seems to be the only common theme so far.

Yeah, I saw it was leaning that way... just adding another data point.

On another note, I used the code "friggin10" to get $30 GCs from them for $27. Used to work at 20% off on the $50 GCs but they're "sold out" (not sure how you can be sold out of GCs). Bought 5 of them for $135... and will use those to activate. 10% is better'n squat
