XM for $88 a Year (or for your second year)
So for those of you who don't know about my previous post, a year ago I posted on how to get your XM radio for a year for $65 a year. The price has changed a bit, but the same idea.
Call: 1-800-347-0600 Do not call their other numbers, this is the "magic" number. Plus, you don't have to go through the phone tree. The first time I called I got put right through to a person, and the second time I called I was on hold shortly. The rate is $77 a year. They uesed to offer a 12.95 credit for putting a credit card on file, but they don't really offer that one as much. BUT it will cost you $88 a year in the end because their is some BS royalty fee thing which puts $10 on top of the price. All you have to do is ask for the $77 a year promotion, or the "half of for a year." No coupon code needed, lots of success. SO for those of you that listened to me last year and already got the promo. When you call back in, they are going to tell you that you aren't eligible, since you have it already. So you need to tell them that is al you can afford, and that you have to cancel. They will try to get you with other rates, and even misquoted some of them to me (said 349 for 3 years, i ask how much a month they say it is 6.69, and I say don't you mean 9.69, and they acted kind of confused). That guy didn't seem to want to help and didn;t really care, so I hung up and clled back. I got another person, said the same thing and they transfered me to the cancellations (this is the key step). The guy asks me the situation etc, I tell him, and he says lets see what we can do. He says, yeah I can have it again, and although the other person said no, he can do it just fine. Went through it all, and we're good to go. $88. (but it is still the $77 a year promo) So, recap if you already have the promo, call to cancel, and they CAN give it to you. $88 for a year |
?
Do you pay by the month? or pay the $88 up front?
|
$88 up front. and then you're set for a year. I don't think they can set that one up as installments, but I don't know for sure
|
They sent me a letter in the mail 5 weeks ago to get it for $88.00 a year. I did it. When I got the car in April, I let the 3 months free run out as I didnt want to pay for radio......but I did miss XM so when they sent me this promo, I signed up. Didnt even have to call,there was a website link and I did it right through their website.

with the 77/88 a year there should be no activation, it is part of it. If they say anything about it I would just mention that too.

Did you let yours expire or did you reup before that? I'm wanting to know if they are charge a setup or reactivation fee.

Best offer I have received is $110/year no activation fee, ($20 first 5 months up front, then $12.95/month). So if you can't get the $88 deal, this might be next best. 1-866-559-7624.

I just had an offer that I pitched in the circular file for $20 and it was for 4 or 5 months. I had it last fall for a similar price too.
I don't drive enough to care for having XM, especially since they merged shortly after I bought my HHR and got rid of or changed the stations that I liked before the merger. |
