Traffic is billed quarterly at $12 and change. I went with lifetime XM for those occasional times I want to listen to something different. Now weather is a joke. Severe weather warnings with the sun shining and clear skies. Must have been left over from days before. I did not renew it.

I contacted XM before the 3-month freebie expired. The key is to call their regular number, not the one Lexus gives you, for the best deals.

give it one to two months after it is cancelled. They will send you a letter in the mail saying "they want you back"

other people say you can just call and say you got that deal in the mail. There is no promo code or anything

If you Google deals on xm radio, you will see a lot of people have luck with mentioning the "$77 deal" for the year. It apparently is an internet special, and all oh have to do is ask for it. From what I have read, if the sales rep doesn't give it to you, hang uo and call back. When its time to renew again, call and say you'd like the same deal. You may have to go as far as cancellation dept, but they give it to you in then end. I will be trying this when my subscription is up....and yes they have been calling me too!

I had XM service in my first RX. And loved it. Then after a few years I noticed that instead of being commercial free. It became all talk all the time.

I just want to listen to music. But no, now you have to listen to the DJs talking between every song. Then have a couple of XM commecials. Then they started talking over the music like on AM stations. All they are missing now if some Sofa-King commericals. And you would not be able to tell the difference.

I told the Programming Director through emails. That all of the channels need to be like " Watercolors " But no avail.

I dont have it in my new Lexus. Its not worth it.

Double down. Blackjack.

I've gotten $77 rate (+royal fees) twice. You need to push for the rate just prior to the due date. Remember they have your credit card number and will to do a automatic renewal (full price) on the due date, if they don't hear from you.

I am not sure if you know this fact, but (I don't know if directTV has it), my DISH networks provides has all SIRIUS/XM radio channels free, via the satellite service. True, I can only access them via my TV set and not in the car. But who cares?
I was about 5 yr subscribed to SIRIUS for $12.95 a months. With a car receiver. Then I got unemployed and I cut the service. Now SIRIUS wants to tempt me to come back with a deal of "5 months for $25". I am back to work. Why would I do it when I can receive all these satellite radio channels for free, via DISH Network?
And my DISHNetwork service with approx 200 channels and 2 hi-def boxes costs only about $65 a month. And we are not TV addicts.

I get home at 5AM after night shift and one of the sales people call me at 9AM after that he found out that his mom and dad were not married AND they were brother and sister. They do not call me anymore. Just got a three month free deal but will pass on it. Too many oak trees in Mobile it cuts in and out all the time on many of the roads in town and on my way to work.

I get many music channels with my cable service. I have an MP3 recorder, and sometimes I hook it up to my cable box and record several hours of that music. Load the files onto my iPod, and I'm good to go. No artist/song info, of course, but not a problem for me.

^Sound like old school recording where back then, we just record on a casette radio but we had to timed it to where you don't include he DJ. LOL.

Yesterday I called XM to get my wife her first subscription after the 3 month trial in her new Toyota. I asked for the 77 dollar deal and was told they did not have 77 dollar deal. I hung up.

A few hours later I called back and spoke to a different representative who reactivated her XM after giving me the 77 dollar deal. Go figure !

I also asked to be mailed the invoice so I could pay by check. That way I don't get trapped into their automatic renewal.
