Post how you handle that and what the resoponse is. I think $70 a year is a bargain.

I just negotiated $28/month for my business and I though that was good. Maybe I can wrangle it down a bit more...

There's another thread in which the poster said XM kept calling him to renew when his trial was about to expire. They gave him a $73/year rate.

That happened to me too. They called 2 to 3 times day, but i never picked up. Offered me $75 a year rate. I canceled it. I use my ipod more then anything else. I haven't even put a CD into my car yet thats how much I use the ipod. They called a couple days later again asking if I might have changed my mind. but to xm.

I only want the traffic info. with the cd player, music box, and CF slot who needs XM radio? However, I use the traffic data nearly daily to help determine my routes to/from work.

Actually Ted, you have to contact XM via phone or internet to activate your subscription. I activated my free 3 month subscription last December and I still am subscribing to XM. I never thought I would pay for radio stations, however commercial free radio FTW.

you guys might want to read this... it details everything about that $70 deal you're talking about and how other previous subscribers are getting the deal...but it seems like all you have to do is wait for XM to call and offer it, in our case anyway...

mines still active ..... wll be done aroun christmas...i wish i could just get navtraffic...i wish INFI had their deal with sirius...music and comedy is better.....XM is more for the conservative crowd...more news/talk radio/etc...i feel the music genre stations are more OUT OF TOUCH with exactly what listeners want. not that sirius is that much better, but it is some....anyways yeah Im probably not gonna renew...call me crazy but i would rather burn the occasional MP3 cd with 100+ songs to play on random of EXACTLY what i wanna hear, rather than waste hundreds on satellite...
