Sirius Promo Code for $5.00 activation fee and 10% off everything in your cart!

I just activated a new receiver and used promo code: PP10T and was only charged $5.00 for activation instead of the $15.00 fee they usually charge.

I thought it was free if you activated it from RadioShack.. ??

I did buy my unit from Radio Shack. They gave a rebate of $25.00 in the form of a Radio Shack Gift Card. They didn't tell me anything about getting free activation. I found the code on another forum somewhere after doing a search for promo codes.

darn, I just activated 2 new receivers today.

how about xm radio? just purchased it from Circuit City.

I just activated Sirius online using the PP10T code and it was only $5. The Sirius webpage said it would be $10 online and $15 on the phone so it saved me a few bucks. Thanks for posting it.

I had some questions on the packages with Sirius, and spoke to a helpful rep. I asked about activating, and she said it is $15 if you call in or go online, but if you activate for a one year plan or more that I should go online and it will only be $10.

Well, I used the PP10T code and signed up for a year, saved me another $10 (almost another free month). THANKS OP, green for you!!

BTW- I found out something interesting regarding the lifetime plan. I bought two radios, and if me and my wife wanted lifetime plans it is $500 each, no discount for the second lifetime plan. Basically the CSR suggested one life plan, and $7/month for the second subscription. She said to transfer the lifetime plan for the three times (three new radios) at $75 per transfer. Than when I want to buy the fourth radio, she suggested I not mention this to Sirius, but instead "add" a third line for $7/m. Beats a new lifetime plan or $13/m for the first plan.

This is for the STARMATE receiver...$60 (no rebate)

No. I just paid $10 for online activation, and it is $15 by phone..

I know it worked when I did it and then I posted it right away so others could save.

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.

mikeshecky said: I believe you have to sign up for 1 year or more for the $5 online activation. I did it the other day, and only got charged $5. If you sign up month to month, I believe online activation is $10

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

Somebody mentioned being taxed on GCs... my online receipt showed that as well, so I figured I'd have to do some battling when they tried to tax me again on the service when I paid with the GC's. However, I just got a ship confirmation email that shows zero tax (which makes sense)...
