Just renewed 2 radios, and I got a good deal. I think

Toggle sidebar
I have still have an XM radio in my wife's car (a 2012 Honda). The old additive was that because we were on XM, we needed to pay extra for Stern. I never paid for XM, because I had enough music on my phone and download podcasts for talk programming. Then I still get SiriusXM music channels in my house through Dish. With the XM radio, do I still have to pay for what would be today's version of "best of Sirius" to get Stern? I know that after Opie was fired, they made Faction Talk standard for Sirius radio subs, taking it off "best of XM."
 
Hmm, I got caught snoozing and forgot to call before renewal, but at $125 bucks for 2 radios for the year, I can't complain too much.. .still, could have used a break.
 
I renewed in Jan ... my 2 radios, but I did it thru thier CHAT, which worked GREAT !!!

No more trying to understand someone in some other country.

I got the 2 radios, ALL Access, plus online streaming for $300 .... (vs the 600+ they expect if you wait on the bill to come)

I think it was $99 plus the royalties fee ... I also have the Travel link on my truck. I like the road info it gives me on the GPS without having to screw around with a phone to get it.
 
I renewed the service in my girlfriend's car in May over the phone. Due to covid it was all computer generated response and before even letting them know I wanted to cancel to get a better price they said due to covid I can renew at $6 per month plus about $9 in taxes. Easy pesy. In September I renewed for my car. Had to talk to a live person to cancel to get the good rate. After 10 to 15 minutes on the phone I got the same $6 per month deal. Both are for select and come with the free streaming. And I use the streaming alot more than the radio. So glad that they added that.

I didn't get a Covid Rate ..... I get the All Access on 2 radios ...

I find it interesting that no 2 people get the same pricing.

That's the same for everything. You just have to haggle with them and don't take the first offer. Jimbo I know you have Direct TV and I'll bet that everyone that has Direct TV has a different price for the same packages you have.

I didn't have to threaten to cancel. My renewal was up and I definitely wasn't paying the listed renewal price. I told the rep we enjoy the service but couldn't afford the renewal price. She quickly offered me the $99 annual All-Access, plus the music royalty fee. I couldn't say we don't use it much because they do know what you listen to and how much ;) .....

The only thing they can know is what you stream. Radio is one way comm.

Terrestrial radio I would agree. Satellite radio is a whole different animal.

"...your use of our online media player..." = streaming?
 
The reps must be clairvoyant then. Back when I only used SXM in the car (pre-app), they could tell me what channels I listened to and were able to list them in order of duration.
