Credits: 1,900,618 Year: 1997 Degree: BS Com Sci NFL: Dolphins MLB: Cubs | XM deals? I have to renew my XM subscription, and rates are MUCH higher than when I did it last time (3 years ago). Has anyone been able to "deal" with XM on price? I really don't want to spend $20 a month on frickin radio.

Credits: 165,907 Year: 1990 NFL: Bears MLB: Cubs | Re: XM deals? That does seem high. I've never tried dealing with them, and I doubt they would. I often try to get the better rate by going for multiple years, but likely won't do that anymore until the FCC weighs in and the merger is sorted out. XM increases borrowing as losses widen - May. 12, 2008

Ok, thanks. I was thinking of going to a smaller renewal since the XM/Sirius merger is going to screw things up big time.

And I put Miley Cirus on Brian's favorite list. So now whenever that song comes on, (like every 20 min.), the radio beeps at him.
He got me back though, now mine beeps everytime some sucky Hall & Oats song comes on. |

Credits: 458,725 | Re: XM deals? Here is what I used from an older post.
Just thought I'd pass a little info along about getting a deal on XM. My wife just bought a new car that has XM. We also have XM in an 04 Accord. I was going to call and cancel the XM on the Accord so I did a little reasearch before canceling
I called XM
At the prompts I chose "cancel service"
I got to a live rep and told her I wanted to cancel service
I mentioned that I got a letter a while back offering me $77/year (I lied)
She said that they can honor that offer.
I then told her that I wanted to add our new car for $6.99/month
So my total is now $161/year for 2 cars
I was paying $164/year for 1 car
If they ask you the coupon code (they didn't for me) it is ZWINBACK

I got a "lifetime" subscription for like $250, and they allow you to transfer the subscription to a new receiver 3 times.
