My 12 month trial ended a few weeks ago and I told them not to renew, holding out for a better offer...That off came today, 12 months at $5 a month for the select package, it's about 68 a year with taxes. Seemed good enough compared to the 79 I've seen before or the 99 they offered me originally.Don't know that this is an exceptional deal, but some savings at least. I just set a reminder on my phone for the auto renewal so I can cancel before getting stuck with a surprise.

Yes, that's pretty good. If you want Sirius, it probably won't get any better than that. We're paying about twice that amount, and 2 vehicles. But it's worth it to us.

You'd think with a company as old as that they'd stop with the pricing games.

I have to go through this same dance with Comcast (Xfinity) and with Sirius....threaten to cancel, negotiate back and forth, and then finally they give me a decent offer....Start over again a year later when they bump up the price to their "regular" one. Been a loyal Comcast subscriber since 1993. Never missed a payment...and I have to go through this game over and over...ridiculous.ahhhh....now I feel better after ranting.

I have been doing the 5 months for $25 deal for a few years. But it is also a select package. A friend of mine pays $35 for 6 months, and gets everything (including NFL).I will ask for that one at my next renewal.

Sirius gets under my skin too with their "ad free" channels, they're full of ads for other Sirius channels and packages... I guess they consider those PSA rather than ADS?

Never had Sirius before, but enjoyed it during a recent road trip - didn't have to continuously hunt for channels.

I plan on paying by check for renewal. If they don't accept that, I'll purchase a gift card and load it with the renewal amount so they won't be able to auto renew me at the regular price, and I won't have to remind myself.

iPods certainly have their place. I have one as well. But it doesn't work if you want to hear some sort of talk radio. Or sports. Not important to all, but it is important to me.

If you have already given them a credit card, they will use it until you cancel it or it expires. I pay by check, but I've never given them a card.
Yes - you are correct. But if it costs say 50 bucks and I get a gift card with 50 bucks on it, it's only good for 50 bucks once - and who cares if they have the gift card number - it's been cut up and in the landfill long before they try to use it again.

If you tell them not to keep your credit card on file, they will not auto renew.

I've been doing just like most of the other posters here. $5/month for 5 or 6 months, then call to cancel right before the automatic renewal kicks in. They invariably offer the $5/month deal again. It's almost easy enough, I think I could probably hold out for something better still.
