Default Any Sirius subscription deals?

My Sirius trial subscription ran out yesterday after out after 3 1/2 months. In the past couple of weeks they sent me notices to renew, but I recall someone here saying to wait and that they would offer me 6 months free to renew. Well, that never happened.

What they are offering is this:
  • $12.95 for a monthly subscription
  • $38.85 for a 3-month subscription
  • $142.45 for an annual subscription with 1-month free (big whoop!)
Has anybody gotten any better deals than this?

We let ours run out and after getting a few promotional mailings, I called and somehow ended up with a year for $80.91.
Very confusing process, I will not lie.

They are playing hardball now, trying to encourage long-term renewals. You can get 5 mos free with a two-year renewal, and even more for a 3-yr renewal.

I paid $77 for 12 months last year. I may be selling my car, so when renewal came around I called to cancel. They offered the same deal, but when I said I may be getting rid of the car (late winter, early spring) they offered 5 months for $20. $4/mos was easy to jump at.

Don't they have a package that's something like 6-7$ a month for 50 channels? That's what I'd get if it was available in Canada.

I got the same deal.. I waited till my trial ran out and they started hounding me. They offered some silly deal and i countered with the 77 dollars. They accepted, no questions asked.

A-la-carte (or whatever they call it) is not compatible with Audi receivers.

I just let my subscription expire and I will not renew. Music sounds too much compressed, worse quality than FM. You can get better quality for free using Pandora or iPhone.

ah crap. I was hoping for a la carte in canada but I guess that answers my question. I'll let my subscription expire too, it's expiring this week. There's no way I'm paying 18CAD$ / month for that.

Default Mostly Music

If you're just interested in the music and don't want the premium channels, you can sign up for that plan. It's list price is $9.99.
