XM Radio 6 months for $5/mo.

[trellaine201]

whaat are you talking abouit the Internet XM? My XM in my car sounds fine?

I had to read the post twice. I think he is referring to the internet. But none the less what receiver do you have? And I am assuming you have it connected via your 'aux' input? My RoadyXt is brutal for sound.

Thanks

Wait, the signal got WORSE?
That's the reason why I STOPPED listening in the first place ... because it wasn't crystal clear ...

Oh man ...

Thanks, very much to the original poster el_gopo. I just renewed (after my 3 month trial ended) for 6 months for $4.99 per month . We are planning on driving to Toronto from Vancouver this summer and I am sure the XM will come in handy on the long drive!

Interestingly, I called the number up and the call center is located in the Philippines........

I'm happy people are finding this useful. Imagine not having to search for a radio station for the entire drive
When I last talked to the guys at the call centre a few months ago they were located in Newfoundland...guess a sign of the times.

My 2 kids are driving me crazy listening to "20 on 20" but we have compromised and sometimes listen to "POP2K".........I guess I must be getting old

I just tried too - said "My friend got an offer... I was wondering if I could get it too?..." DENIED! They told me to wait for an email or mailing addressed to me and then call back... I think I'll try again.

I'm glad the rest of you are getting this to work because I've had no luck at all! I called a 2nd time, this time saying "I got a promo card in the mail".... The girl put me on hold (after getting my personal info) and said "We have no record of sending you a promo card"... Busted!!! I asked if they could offer me the $4.99/month for 6 months anyway. She said "no". I then asked what could they offer me - she again put me on hold and came back with an offer of $82.60 + taxes for a full year. I said "No thanks"... She sounded shocked that I turned this down...

I wonder if the calls go to different call centres, depending on what time of the day you call... I'm running out of patience to try a 3rd time...

Well you're lucky...at least you got offered something.

I wasn't offered anything less than $14.99 per month.

You guys should try again. I just called in, told them that I received the promotion code in my email, and they activated it at 4.99$/m, no questions asked.

Thanks OP by the way.

Further to my previous point, someone mentioned that the call centre they spoke to was in a foreign country. The people I spoke to on both calls yesterday were definitely North American (no accent whatsoever). Maybe it's possible that if you call in the middle of the night / early morning, the calls go offshore. I wonder if different call centres are more lenient on what they will offer...

Internet streaming of programming. I'm not referring to audio quality in the car.

I called yesterday at around 12:00 in the afternoon Vancouver time........$82.60 for 1 year + taxes...........that is less than $7 per month, if that were me I would have just taken it......my $4.99 per month is only for 6 months so in 6 months I will have to go through the hassle to renew again with no guarantee of the $4.99 rate.

Try the line that you received an email from them that is what I used and that worked great. El_gopo sent me the original email, PM if you want me to forward it to you....

I just called them up now and they offered me 9.99/month. After "thinking about it" I "remembered" that I had a promotional coupon in the mail and told them about it. They were pretty happy to give me the rate and signed me up at 4.99/month.

That being said when I called them up a few days ago they wouldn't budge from the 14.99/month rate. Glad I called back.

The person I spoke to did have an accent, can't say that puts the call center in a different country though.

Well, I considered your comment and decided, yeah, I'll take it for $82.60/yr. So I called back. I simply said that I heard lots of people were being offered $4.99/month for 6 months, but that I was offered $82.60 the day before. The lady said, yes, she saw that on my file, and that she was the same person I spoke with the day before... So she still wouldn't offer me the $4.99/month, but I said I'd be willing to take the $82.60 for the year. I asked if there were any other charges beyond this, and she said there were none, other than the tax on top of the $82.60. After several minutes on hold, she came back and told me that she was able to get it for $81.92 including tax! That works out to $72.50 for the year before tax, or $6.04 per month + tax. So, I'm quite happy with that deal. Now I have to get used to the channel line up which has changed since the last time I had a subscription... Thanks OP for bringing up the topic.

I called at 9.30 EST.. talked to a friendly guy in Moncton when I got my deal.


The guy on the phone also mentioned that they now have lifetimes subscriptions for 400$ or something around that... risky though as who knows how long they will be around...I'm too busy to re-read through all the posts, but i don't think that the lifetime memberships were mentioned here

Got the $4.99/mos for 6 months. No contract and activation fee so this is the best deal up until tomorow.
