I've read alot of guys paying $12.95 a month for your motorcycle XM radio subscription. You guys are getting ripped off. Don't stand for it. It's relatively easy to get your subscription down to $6.50 a month. It will take a few phone calls (about 3) and a stiff spine in your conversations with the service rep, but they are trained to "cave in" when a customer is persisitent.

If you have a subscription, tell them you're dropping the service unless you can be given the "$77/yr plan". They will also drop the $12.95 charge to use your CC for billing, if you are insistent. Don't let XM rip you guys off.

Here's some additional information and if you do a google search on the $77 a year XM plan you'll find more information.

You only started this thread to get a "Thanks"

I'm onto you!

LOL

 

will this work for Sirius also??

 

Heatwave....Just did that exact same thing for the XM in my car. I just told them that I didn't use XM that much last year and I did not want to renew. I am now on the 77 dollar plan.

 

Cancelled mine in my boat 3 yrs. Ago and my portable unit from Sirius. Still have Svc. And no bill. Guess I got lost in the system.

 

Just doing my part to help out fellow riders We all have alot more in common than not when compared with guys/gals that have never ridden.

 

I'm not sure, but I do know that it doesn't matter what vehicle the XM subscription is on, just "demand the $77 a year plan" and you'll pay for 4-5 tanks of gas for another 1000 miles of free riding a year!

 

I used this approach, and got the XM service, plus Nav Weather & Traffic for the $77 rate.

 

I just got off the phone with Sirius battling them over a bill. I canceled well over a year ago. On Sunday i see a charge for $155.00 on my credit card. I send an email with no response. I call them and get routed through a few people who try to sell me a renewal package. finally i get to accounting who tells me the charge was because i never called to cancel and was on "Auto-renew". For as long as i had the service, I was never on Auto-renew, nor can i find any indication of that status on my former account. They keep saying "I'm on Auto-renew". They can't explain why after a year plus of no service, they chose now to renew?

Quite frankly it isn't worth the cost for my cars. I'll listen to MP3's.

 

Ditto. All of my vehicles have a 3.5mm aux input jack that I just connect my Evo to, and listen to EXACTLY what I want to listen to all the time.

Wife recently canceled her XM service as well and does the same with her Evo.

I have a 100gb MP3 library full of our favorite songs. I can't justify paying for a monthly sub to listen to songs we already own.
