FYI...Sirius has free listening going on until Dec 5th...SamIAm2 said:This 2022 GMC Canyon Crew Cab just before Thanksgiving.
Made the trip over to Tampa for Thanksgiving to spend time with with Niece, Great Niece, and Great Great Niece. I'm that old.
Still getting used to all the bells and whistles and where the shifter is located.
It is going back to the dealer in a week to replace the cloth tonneau cover that will not last in the Florida sun. Ordered the hard plastic trifold but dealer put this on. Successfully cancelled Sirius and the emails to restart it have already begun.

I love Sirius XM. I pay $7.42 per month. Less than Netflix, less than a couple of trips through Starbucks. I spend a lot of time in my car(s), so I really enjoy not having to fiddle with streaming, scanning FM for a clear signal, listening to more commercials and talk than music. I guess it is a personal preference.
But, it is a hassle to set a reminder to make a phone call once a year, threaten to cancel, and wait for someone to offer me the service for $6.99 a month. Takes about 20 minutes a year. I wish they would just keep giving it to me for $6.99 and not make me have to threaten them. The first time they charge me the going rate, I will also be done.Clinton, Iowa -
My favourite (nod) radio station is "SCAN." Turns out Asian car manufacturers have that station available on every make/model I have owned. The Europeans won't go near it.
It's especially entertaining for those long distance road trips.
A couple of years ago I received a snail mail form from Nielson asking me to fill out a radio listening survey. Questions about local radio listening etc. Coincident with the survey we took a road trip of around 5.5 hours drive one way for a weekend. Yep-I explained "SCAN" in the comments as I recall to count as "listened" it had to be 5 continuous minutes. I'm sure my partially useful data was trashed.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

A Platinum Amex card gets you $20/month rebate back for SiriusXM. Don't even need to play the game.Langner91 said:I love Sirius XM. I pay $7.42 per month.

$700/year. What else you got?THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Perks of that card are pretty good, we use the monthly Uber credits, streaming credits, and many others that easily cover the annual cost. It’s a big recommend from this houseOzzie_Isaac said:

All I get listening to SCAN on long trips is a message from screaming preachers that I’m going to heck or country music. Equally dissatisfying.lousubcap said:My favourite (nod) radio station is "SCAN." Turns out Asian car manufacturers have that station available on every make/model I have owned.

No; no, the first time they charge you the going rate, you'll be done about 4 months later.Langner91 said:I wish they would just keep giving it to me for $6.99 and not make me have to threaten them. The first time they charge me the going rate, I will also be done.
You'll tell them to cancel, maybe via phone AND letter AND email, like I did, but your CC will be charged the full rate. Hopefully your bank/CU will take the charge off your CC, as mine did. They'll charge it again the next month, and your bank/CC will take the charge off. When you ask them if there's a way to block sirius from charging again, you'll possibly be told the only way to do that is to get a new CC with a new number, as mine did (and then you'll have to update every other company that has your number to the new CC). It will happen again the third month, but then you will get phone messages and emails from sirius saying, "We understand you're unhappy with us, please call us at bla-bla so we can make it right". You may reply to their email, telling them to GTH and cancel, and then they'll send you another letter saying, "We've refunding half your last payment, we will be keeping the other half in your account to apply to your next payment when you re-join sirius". Hopefully your bank/CU will remove that half-charge too, as mine did.
And then, and then, the very next *&$%^!! f*cking week you'll get a letter from sirius stating, "We want you back, please call blabla to rejoin for $5/mo for the next TWO years". And then, like me, you'll be madder than a bear on cocaine and dedicate the rest of your life to telling your sirius experience on every damn forum you visit, every person you meet, every AA meeting, every sunday school class you teach, every extermination salesman at your front door, etc. Those bastids could offer me guaranteed $1/mo for the next TEN years, and I would refuse to accept it. Ph*ck them!

The card is metal and pretty cool. No limit/no hassle for big purchases is nice.Legume said:$700/year. What else you got?
My wife uses it because she travels a lot. The lounge access in airports is really nice, and as @U_tarded said, the cash back perks more than pays the annual fee, and all for things we buy anyway.I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

Same issues here. I’m a long time subscriber. Recently, they offered me an annual plan that would renew at the low price. Only catch, had to give them your cc number for annual draft.
