Fyi. Free til may 15, pop the app on the phone. Howard is 7-11, Bennington is on factiontalk 103, 2-5, then 5-8 or so is Jason ellis

for those who work from home and need talk radio, or anyone.

that is my line up. There is obviously tons of music. No credit card needed. Mention my name, just kidding. A heads up

Since I'm a subscriber, I should call and request a credit for this extended period where it's fee.

J/K. I negotiated a monthly fee of $15 for 2 radios in 2 vehicles, 1 with the All-Access package to get NFL radio. Anyone wanting to subscribe after May 15th should bargain with them. They know we can get radio OTA for free, and stream Pandora, iHeart, Spotify, etc at a much cheaper cost.

I think I'm about to do that, as well. Can't hurt to try.

Same here.. if it’s free for everyone, then what in the hell am i paying for?

i negotiated a decent deal, but not as good as yours.. i like listening to Howard, but i also really like Adam Schein on Mad Dog sports (ch 82) who I’m listening to right now as i type this.. and some of the other sports channels.. i even listen to Colin Cowherd on 83- notice i didnt say i ’like’ listening to him, just that i do indeed listen to him, which he always says is his main objective, so i guess he wins.

Heck, I'd be happy with just not getting charged for this next month.

Update:

Good luck getting a credit for your vehicle's radio service. I don't know if it was just this particular rep or all of them are being instructed in this way, but he kept saying that I could just cancel the monthly subscription and stream for free at home. He wasn't getting the fact that I can already stream at home for free as part of my vehicle sub. I don't want to cancel the monthly sub, I just want a credit for this month. I'm a little P'Oed right now.

Here's the chat log:

SiriusXM: Got it, I'll connect you with a specialist who can help you.
Brian (16:02:17 GMT) : Thank you for contacting SiriusXM. Appreciate your patience . I've read your chat with our virtual agent. I'll be happy to help you.
bonnjer (16:02:46 GMT) : I'd like to request a credit for this month, since the service is free until May 15th, please.
Brian (16:03:05 GMT) : Can I have your radio id or your account number ?
bonnjer (16:03:18 GMT) : Account number XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
Brian (16:04:25 GMT) : What is the name of your car ?
bonnjer (16:04:50 GMT) : I have a Chevy Colorado truck.
Brian (16:06:26 GMT) : Ok and am seeing that you are on a one month plan right now is that it was Renewed 03/07/XXX and it will Renews 04/07/XXX
bonnjer (16:06:41 GMT) : Yes, correct
Brian (16:07:17 GMT) : So you have 5 days left until it renews again
bonnjer (16:07:59 GMT) : Right. It is on auto-renew. I would like to get a credit for the monthly amount, since the service is being offered for free until May 15th.
bonnjer (16:08:08 GMT) : Is that possible?
Brian (16:08:32 GMT) : It is not being offer for free it renews every month for the same price
Brian (16:09:25 GMT) : at the same time, Which means on the 7th of every month it will be renew
bonnjer (16:10:39 GMT) : On your website, it says, "From now until May 15, stream SiriusXM free on your phone, online and on so many devices in your home." Since I'm in a state that has stay at home orders, I'm not driving in my truck, so I'm not using the service.
bonnjer (16:11:08 GMT) : I don't want to have to cancel and then re-subscribe.
Brian (16:11:22 GMT) : Please give me some time, I will be right back with you
bonnjer (16:11:31 GMT) : Thank you
Brian (16:14:26 GMT) : Am working on it right now
bonnjer (16:14:40 GMT) : Thank you
Brian (16:17:05 GMT) : so for you to have it you would have to create an account online first and then you will be able to get the free streaming
bonnjer (16:18:15 GMT) : I have an account online already. I can stream it for free. I'm asking for a credit for my vehicle's radio service that I'm not using as much. Is this not possible?
Brian (16:19:59 GMT) : For you to have back the credit you would have to cancel the service, and when you do that then the app wouldn't be working back the service you are having on your phone is for the car.
bonnjer (16:22:02 GMT) : Ok, I didn't realize that getting a credit for monthly service would be so difficult. I do not want to cancel the subscription, since I listen to the service frequently when not under a stay at home order.
Brian (16:24:24 GMT) : The app on the phone is a feature from the service in the car, as long as you have the service in the car you will be able to use it anyway you go
bonnjer (16:25:47 GMT) : Yes, I understand that. But you are offering the streaming service for FREE until May 15th. Why should I pay for the service if that is the case?
Brian (16:27:40 GMT) : Ok the service will be for the phone alone and from time to time you would also want to be in your car. On the phone only one person can be on the app streaming so when you have the service also in your car you get the advantage for 2 person to use Siriusxm for one price
bonnjer (16:28:37 GMT) : Ok, thanks. I'm not satisfied with this response, but I understand there's only so much you can do.

And to add to my level of frustration, I keep seeing ads on IG for a 3 MONTH free trial for Sirius XM in your car.

 

[bonnjer]

So, did any subscriber here try and succeed?

I didn't. I don't like calling them so the $15 for the month is worth my time and sanity.

 

[bonnjer]

I tried again just now with an online agent. Same story. "Sorry, can't give you credit." I told the agent, "I know it's not your fault, but please pass along to your management that as a long time subscriber, I'm not very happy with the fact that I can't get any kind of credit for one month of vehicle service, but you're giving people who don't subscribe a month and a half of service for free."

 

[Zack Lee]

has anyone had success with the free trial? It says free till May 15 but when you click it you have to create a login at which point it does want a credit card and offers free for three months and then 8 per month after.

 

[Zack Lee]

screw it. for three free months I just did it and set a reminder to cancel. At that point I may choose to go with it over my prime music anyway if it works well with Alexa.

edit: well the trial apparently does not allow me to use alexa. Which renders it almost useless for me. I'm in chat session right now.
