An time I am dealing with somebody who I do not trust, (and yes I agree that that includes Sirius/XM.) I go online and create a temporary credit card on my normal CC account. This creates a throw away card number, with a dollar limit and and short term expiration date, specifically for these kinds of transactions.

Then it gets entertaining, since they were attempting to double or triple that amount with the auto renew.
