That brings up a good question. I was looking at my account and we have two cars and one internet subscription and I am almost at $300/year plus I pay $2.99/mos??? I am chatting with them now. Will let you know what I come up with.

They always have deals of $25 for 5 months, but I don't think that includes on demand.  I know you can call them and threaten to quit, and they will add you, but again, don't know about the internet.

Dirty Pop was my favorite for the drive home, but they took it off.   

I thought he was on Andy Radio now? Not as good, but he does DJ one of the music stations and kinda like the morning MashUp
 

$140 for car and online. Always call right before your renewal and say your not sure if you are going to renew. They emailed and said they were going to charge me $250 I complained since I paid $170 the year before.

Mine is like $20 or $21 for all the channels in one car and one online account. I'm a sports addict so I need all the sports channels'

i think I was last billed about 150 for a year for home subscription. I hated having to pay for on-line so I passed on that.  also have a new-ish pioneer xm radio in my car (because my speakers were going bad) but not activated right now (has been activated before).  I carry my receiver with me to docking station I have at work and in my car.  you have to  bully xm down when it's time to renew.  they used to give a free month if u renewed for entire yr and I think they have done away with that.  this is why I hated it when Sirius and xm merged.

and for anyone who has auto-renewed when it gets close to renewal, call your credit card company and tell them you lost that card and you'd like a replacement WITH A DIFFERENT CC NUMBER. any automatic renewals associated with the old card (e.g., xm, AAA) will not automatically transfer to the new card.  hope that helps

Thank you guys for all the feedback! Makes me feel better-now I just have to grow a pair before next time my subscription is almost expired.

I'm always super sweet, tell them how much I love them, its all I listen to, just can't justify $200+ for radio when there is so much free content available.
 

I call every July, on a day off, with time to spare. I generally have to speak to a rep who doesn't know English. Then I ask to speak to customer retention. 2 years ago I got no satisfaction on the phone and I said I was just going to cancel mid July before I would be billed. I tweeted SiriusXM complaining about the customer service and someone tweeted back in about 2 minutes and asked me for my info. I ended up renewing. I always pay for a year in advance and for my home and car I paid $140. The auto renewal would be $274 for 1 car and the app. No way will I pay that much. I just got a mailer to "come back" for $20 for 7 months. I put it in a basket so I have ammunition when I call in July. I generally end up telling customer retention (very nicely) let's not play games. If I cancel you're going to send me a ridiculous offer, let's just figure this out now. Works each time. I do the same with cable. I am going to cut the cord at the end of may and I'm afraid, but it's so crazy I can live without it.

Wow...I am cancelling my auto renew. I am just a sucker for paying $269 for one radio.

Hey. I pay $60 for 3 months for car and Internet/app service.

Resurrecting this discussion again. I am working with Sirius today to reduce my insanely high subscription cost. Frankly I just want 100-122 for channels. I can stream music for free. I live in the US as well.

What are you guys/gals paying?

 
Just paid my annual $258- includes car subscription and sirius app.

I JUST cancelled my subscription last week and Sirius offered me $120/yr. for car radio and internet to stay.  They were hard pressed not to lose a customer.  I still cancelled my subscription b/c it takes me forever just to get through one WUWT show and they expire before I can even finish listening.  I told them they shouldn't have let Kenny Zimlinghaus go and they were like "who?".  

I knew my lease was up soon, so I never renewed my subscription, and I am currently in the middle of my free trial in my new car. I don't listen to Wake Up anymore, but I have had Sirius for years and I don't even know my local radio stations anymore... I also love listening to Howard interviews on the app on demand. I keep debating renewing it once the trial is over, but I don't think I'm down for paying $258!

I only ever pay $25 for 6 months..... I won't pay anymore than that.

I kept telling them I was cancelling, I wound up with a year for $68 inclu tax (CAD...so about $50US I think?) for car & online. I did that for two years. I didn't reactivate it this year because I just don't use it anymore. If they come at me with a good enough deal may go back, I really miss Jenny McCarthy.
