Bought a new car and it comes with a three-month trial. Received a mailing listing their pricing structure. Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to get a subscription at a discount price. Ran across a few sites that say you can get it for $77/year. Who do I have to badger to get this?

I tried to use it again last November when the first year expired, but they have it in their history so was unable to use it again. I did, however, get them to renew for 6 months at around $38, so still got the roughly $6/mo price. Given that my wife listens to one channel 95% of the time, that is how much I think the subscription is worth. And I told the person I renewed with exactly that. Am still hoping for an 'a la carte' pricing structure, where you can choose, say, 25 or 50 channels for a lower price.

Replying to: michaell (Feb 09, 2009 1:10 pm) They contacted me about 2 months before my contract was up. I declined renewal, stressing to the salesperson that I would wait for a better deal. Got down to 1 day before contract expiration and had received no further contact from Sirius. Not wanting to have to pay the activation fee again, I called on the last day. I believe the deal, which was the same deal they were offering to everyone, was 24 months for the price of 18 on our primary receiver. I went ahead and took it. No obligation, though, and no early termination fees of any kind.
