Got my XM resubscribe call today - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Steve Dallas · 03-31-2010, 12:32 PM

My car has been in the shop for the last 3 weeks being repaired. I bought my car on December 8th, so the 3 month trial has just expired.

Today they called and offered a deal.

5 months for $23.05 total.

I'm ok with that, as I like listening to a few stations when I'm out in eastern Washington where there is no radio. Blue Collar Comedy has me hooked, I suppose. I still mainly listen to my iPod, but having alternatives is nice.

I asked to do a one-time payment so it won't automatically resubscribe.

I figure if they decide to keep offering deals like this, I'm ok with resubscribing.

And, they'll start the service in a week which is about when I'll get the car out of the shop.

Sounds good! I love the different channels and lack of talking. I'm all about tunes when I'm driving and having options for 80's and Hair Nation and even Caliente really lets me enjoy a huge range of music that's rather limited on normal radio where I live.

why are you guys getting these deal so cheap. I got mine like 380-400ish for 3 years. look like i have to start bitching so i can get a better deal lol.

From the sounds of it guys are letting it lapse and waiting for the call from them. Then act uninterested and they give you a deal.

Depends on how much you bicker with them. Never take the first price they offer. I got $77 for a full year last fall, I didn't let mine expire at all. Now I see they've lowered it even more, to less than $5 a month!!

good price !

Thats exactly how I did on my Acura when I had it. Planning on doing the same for the Camaro. I would definitely only do one-time payment, its a lot easier for them to give you cheap deals that way when they call you at end of term

GraysonPeace · 03-31-2010, 12:55 PM

Ours expired two days ago and was shut off without the call! We like it so I called and asked for the $77/yr rate I have read about here. They were very nice and gave us the rate! I also asked them to bill us so I didn't have to give them creditcard info!

Cro · 03-31-2010, 12:57 PM

My sister used to work for them and told me basicly that if someone calls and says they wanna cancel their subscription, they will cut you a good deal just to keep you. I decided to try it when my wifes subscription in her Lancer was up and the operator gave me the same 5 month deal, and she said if we called back when it was up they would keep giving us that deal. I figure one call every 5 months is worth it.

PB3 · 03-31-2010, 01:08 PM

They offered me somthing similar like this. I read the fine print and it casually states that after the 5 month period my months payment would go back to $13 something. I have been with XM for some time and I am not going to pay $13/month for service. When I get close to the last month on the offer I plan on calling for a better price or canceling. If they want your services they will work with you.

spoone123 · 03-31-2010, 01:18 PM

I get this comercial stuff even tho they said my radio won't have comercial. Like Kiss channel. Then again i'm on trials right now once that's expired i expect to have no comercial. If possible no talking LOL, i just want to listen to music not listen to Djs talking.

blkngldbabe · 03-31-2010, 01:39 PM

Depending on what type of tunes you like, It IS possible. LOL

Huh? I paid 500 something for a LIFETIME subscription to everything. Transferable 3 times.

FirstCamaro2k10 · 03-31-2010, 02:42 PM

Im currently goin through my 3 month trial till May, i added the best of Sirius to the trial, cause i wanted to listen to Howard Stern. I love the XM, hate local radio, play the same stuff over nad over, and im soooo sick of commercials. Always a good song on XM. I sure dont plan on getting rid of it, i either plan on getting the yearly deal, or go ahead and get the lifetime. You can pay the lifetime and 5 installments.
