Q: QuestionI just enquired about renewing a membership I gifted last year.They told me that one year was $247.00 yearly This was a gift for a friend that just uses it for the traffic in his car. Could I stretch his subscription for another 2.4 months with this card

Asked 8 years ago by tictoc.

• A:Answer I have been a Sirius XM subscriber for almost 5 years, and I've NEVER paid full price. Call the toll free number, and say it's too expensive, and they will offer you different offers, with the best offer for the SELECT plan at 6 months for $24.99, plus taxes and royalty fees. THERE IS A TRICK: YOU MUST CALL before the six months are up, or they'll automatically bill you the current rate. I call about a month before and say that it's too high, and they come back with the 6 month for $24.99 deal every time...without fail. It takes about 10 minutes on the phone. It's not the best way to do business, but that's the way it is if you want a good deal with them. This is for the Select Plan. The best deal that I've gotten for the All Access Plan is $119.00, plus taxes and royalty fees for a year. DON'T GIVE THEM A CREDIT CARD, use the gift cards. They'll try and charge you 2 bucks more, but if you insist they drop that also. I know this seems complicated, but you'll save a lot of money...

Q: QuestionHow long does a 50 dollars sirius xm gift card last

Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Depends on what package you buy and what discounted rate they are willing to give you. I usually get the Select package at about $5/ month. A six month plan with taxes and fees run about $35. So this card would cover about 1 1/2 renewals. Any excess is kept as a credit on your account for the next renewal.

Q: QuestionWhy does Best Buy refuse to sell me a Sirius portable radio unless I give them a phone number? Why does Best Buy want a phone number? Is it a Sirius policy? What will the phone number be used for? Must it match - be matched - to something later?

Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Because Best Buy wants to sell your phone number and other personal data to marketers.

Q: QuestionI am told that once the gift card funds are exhausted, I will be invoiced for subscription costs if I don't want to add a CC. If I call to cancel at that time, should I expect it to take multiple efforts for them to cancel? Talking to Sirius makes me sick

Asked 7 years ago by Brian.

• A:Answer The way I also go around this is that the CC I added to the Sirius Account is a Prepaid Amex Account called Bluebird. If the fees are not in the account, they can't get the money and will just flag it for non-payment. They can't take money from me I don't have. I only put the amount of money in the account I needed to pay for the Sirius Account for the year and no more. This is the only thing I use this account for because I know how much of a pain Sirius is to talk to to get them to reverse any charges. If they try to charge me more, its just like paying with the gift cards. This was before I knew about using the gift cards and not even adding a CC account to my Sirius Account. Doing it this way, I have no surprise charges because Sirius just sees the card as a normal Amex card, but its not and so the charge wont go through if there are hidden charges on the account.

Q: QuestionHi, with these prepaid cards do you just add them to your account even if you have to use more than one ? Does Sirius accept more than one card on an account at once when you sign up ? Is Sirius better than other streaming services ? Thanks

Asked 5 years ago by CCFL.

• A:Answer I use cards and since I have it on two cars the times are different on their expiration I add them to each account when I get the cards. When you sign up they have to have a credit card on file but I put the cards on the account number if it isn’t the total amount they only add the remaining amount.

Q: QuestionI'd like to gift my Dad 1 year of free Sirius XM for his car for Christmas... What is the best way to do this?

Asked 5 years ago by nicegirl8370.

• A:Answer SiriusXM is rather difficult ti gift to somebody because they want a credit card and email to set up/activate the account. If you buy $150 worth of gift SXM gift cards that should be enough to get what they refer to as the ultimate package (all channels). If the equipment he has receives any free service the paid subscription will begin at the conclusion. Straight forward to this point... It is renewall on the paid anniversary date where things can get really expensive because they auto renew.. Usually at rates 2 to 3 times higher... They will generally negotiate a lower rate if called before the actual anniversary date and even if not they will begrudgingly reduce the renewal rate or even refund if that is desired... Hope this helps... Good luck...

Q: QuestionIf I purchase a 30 dollar card for my cellphone can I bluetooth the service in my car.

Asked 6 years ago by Me.

This question was asked about the related product: $15 Prepaid Service Card for SiriusXM Internet Radio - Multicolor

• A:Answer Should be able to. You are paying for the service. If you only use your phone as the “player”, then I see no reason why you couldn’t use your phone to stream to your car provided you have good cell reception.

Q: QuestionXM always seems to charge my card even if I unsubscribe before the date. My husband wants to get the 6 months/$30 deal right now. If I buy this prepaid card, do I still need to give them my actual credit card #? You can't use a VISA gift card. Shady.

Asked 6 years ago by Skyler.

• A:Answer We've been using prepaid cards for over 5 years. They got us by taking almost 200 out of my acct 3 days before Christmas and it took over a week to get back. I went online and changed the card # to an expired prepaid visa. That was the only way to take it off at the time. And we feed them prepaid cards. The day that Best Buy stops selling them is the last day we subscribe to Sirius.

Q: QuestionI am not a member now but would like to have Sirius for a week or a month how much would that cost and how do I go about doing that

Asked 8 years ago by Barb.

• A:Answer It's expensive, they do have different plans. You can go online to lookup plans. You can chat with customer service online to answer all your questions you might have. I like the premium plan so I can listen on my phone, computer and car. I paid close to 300 for the year. It's the darn taxs and royalties that drive up the price. That is why every month I purchase a gift card and apply it to my account so it eases the pain when they take out the fees. I like it cause there's isn't any commercials on it and I have many many channels to choose from. Again, they do have different plans. I hope this helps you.
