Take SiriusXM for a ride FREE May 25 through June 5

No thanks! It takes several years to get them to stop pestering you via email and phone. Been there, done that years ago and I still get an occasional offer in the mail.

?? You don't need to give them your name, phone number or email address. Just tune in your radio. Of course, if you aren't interested you are free to ignore.

Cool! Just as long as I don't have to give them info I will check it out for a couple days and see if there is any improvement in content over what it was years ago. If they improved I might think about subscribing, if not I'll just turn it off and move on. Thanks for posting.

They already have your info. Honda gave it to them. All the car manufacturers do it also.

I'm sure you guys are right, but I don't want to kick the hornet's nest and have them think that I'm alive. I wasn't to happy with the barrage of phone calls, e-mail and mail I would get every week when I canceled my subscription. One would think that I would never get any more contact from them when I told them I sold all my vehicles with XM radios. Wrong, they offered me free radios if I subscribe. Really? You gotta be kidding me.

Oh I hear you. I hate them for that. I made them put me on their do not call list and also send me written confirmation that I was on it...which they have to do per the law

Every year they send a crazy expensive bill for the platinum plan higher and higher every year. My wife calls and them to cancel (it’s only on in her suv) and by the end of the call she gets it renewed at or below what we paid the year before. This year we ended up paying around $200 less than the invoice amount.

I regularly get emails from SirusXM regarding their latest deals. Last month I got one that was to good to pass up. $5.00 a month for their Platinum Plan for 12 months. So I added that for my Ridgeline and cancelled the plan on my Goldwing. I believe I can still listen to SiriusXM on the Goldwing using their App on my Iphone, as long as I have cell service.

they still owe me for 6 months of service...... No "free trial" is ever going to get me to give them any more money! There is no amount of "carrots" that will ever make up for that!

Maybe I've been lucky cause I have XM on my bike and car, and they have never pestered me.. Every year I cancel it out on my Motorcycle (winter season).......... All I do is call and cancel, and never had an argument... Come April 1st, my XM is back on the MC........ easy peesy!

Wife got tired of me having to play the cancel game every 6 months to get a lower rate on her car radio. Finally said no more. Now it either the usb drive with ~9000 songs, or FM, or Spotify.

And I can skip thru songs I don't want and not have the repeating Playlist that XM has.

And one of the biggest reasons?? I'm not paying for Howard Stern...

However, to the OP - thanks for letting folks know about the trial period. 👌

Thanks lowbar and I love getting the free subscriptions but don't usually ever subscribe afterwards. Like others said too big a hassle getting out sometimes when they have your credit card #. Been there done that.

I've had XM for at least 15 years. I have never given them a credit card....I always insist on a paper bill. I call them a couple of days before my subscription is up and tell them I want to renew at the price I had been paying ($99/yr, no fees) and I want to renew all 3 radios. It used to be like pulling teeth to get that done, but last year it was done in one non-confrontational phone call. They may finally be getting the concept of customer service.

Seriously, pay to listen to the foulest mouths on the planet.
When I bought a new F-150 years ago, I took three of my grandkids for a ride in it. Somehow, the radio would default to the Sirius channel when ya first turn it on. Right away, some creep comedian was talkin about his crotch and foul odors. When ya try to change the channel it doesn't respond right away.
Sattelite radio, I would get more pleasure eating lunch at a raw sewer outlet.

That's weird. Mine always goes right back to the last channel I had it on when restarting the service which is NOW on my Goldwing. I'm lovin' it...wait that's jingle from somewhere else....
