If anyone has Sirius XM not under a lifetime contract, you may know that you can get 6 months of service for $30 (including tax and BS fees). This is the price they use to lure you back a few months after you cancel, and then they automatically charge you something like $180 for a year. Nah, I’ll take a half year for $30.

Anyhow, I just called to cancel and tell them I’ll keep the service if they keep my same rate. Oh yeah, you’re much better off asking where the person is located, and when they tell you they’re from the Philippines (not in), ask to speak with someone in the United States. They might give you a run around, but you’ll be connected.

So, I spoke with some connected to me by land who was more than happy to re-up me for $30, and I gave it a shot and said "why don’t you just give me a year for $60?" Now, mind you, I always ask this, and the normal response is sure you can have a year for $180. This time, they said yes, and I got a year for $60.90.

So, I don’t know if you’ll have my luck, but it’s certainly worth a try and I thought I’d pass it on. Hope it works for you.
