Default SAT and Nav Weather Magically Reappeared

My initial 3-month trial subscription of satellite radio, nav weather and traffic expired more than one month ago so I have not been getting those services for the last month because I did not renew the service; however, on my way to work this morning, SAT and nav weather magically reappeared. Not that I am complaining but has this happened to anyone else?

That's not going to work with this guy.
I don't believe in paying for XM radio or cable TV with tons of commercials.

I noticed the same thing yesterday with Traffic & Weather (I already have radio). I just stumbled on it. It would be a good idea for XM to let people know of the free service. A lot of folks never know about the trial.

If this is a free re-trial, I did not get the nav traffic back, only the SAT and weather came back...

yes only radio and weather have worked for me with the free trials. I assume if you already pay for radio, they give you the traffic as a free trial.

I also got an email about this, this time, but not so in the past

Thanks for the heads-up ... I enjoyed the service during the trial.

I was incorrect about getting Traffic. I'm getting Weather only. I saw weather was back and assumed traffic was too but it's not. Sorry for the mix up.
