AND ANOTHER THING. The radio buttons on Ford vehicles all say "SIRIUS". When Sirius goes under then my cars will have the name of a defunct company all over it to look at?
FORD ARE YOU LISTENING?? How about simply making the buttons say "SAT" That way when someone else takes over satellite radio and changes the name, "SAT" will make sense.
In both cases when I renewed, I had about 3 - 4 weeks left on the current subscription. Sirius/XM Canada has been great to deal with and very little haggling involved.I really have gotten used to my Sirius/XM - so when my renewal notice came in the mail, I called the number and expected to be able to do some haggling. The gal on the phone quoted me the same price as the flyer (144/year) and wouldnt budge.
So I just said that the price was too high. She suggested waiting for it to expire and to see if any other deals or promotions were available at that time (in 3 weeks).
I wonder if they've been told not to make any deals until the service has actually expired

Why be so petty and negative?
I have never received a paper bill/invoice. They always send me a renewal quote via email well in advance of the expiry date. I usually wait a while then call them up to say the cost is too high and then we play their little game and usually end up at about 50% off their original price.I just got my letter for renewal in the mail today. I called up to cancel my auto renew because they got me last year on it and charged me $170+.
So the gentleman asked why I wanted to cancel.. I said "because you got me last year on the auto renew and I'm not going to let you get me again".
He immediately offered 50% off down to $80 plus taxes. I declined.
He then immediately offered $25 for 5 months which I accepted. $5 a month is great and we will play the game again come January. They also removed my credit card so I will get a paper bill in about 4 months to remind me to renew or cancel.

They will only send a paper bill if you don't have a credit card on file. The $2 fee is charged for the paper bill but only if you pay the bill. I'll negotiate that out come January lol.
After the fit I threw last time they know better than to try it again on my debit card. I made the mistake of not looking at my account to make sure my debit was not on it and they never took it off and auto billed me full price!
I went ballistic so they ended up giving me 2 years for the price of one.
I took it because I figured they would drag out giving back my money as long as possible if they gave it back at all....
There are a few renewals in the posts above.My subscription is now expired, they called the house with some outrageous price to renew and I declined.
So whats the best rate going now?
Anybody just renewed?
