Our Verdict
Nice freebie, just remember to cancel. Looks like the $10.99 rate is also discounted from the regular $22.99 rate. You can alternatively get 4-months of SiriusXM free from Bestbuy.com.
There’s also an offer for 4-month Panera Unlimited trial showing at the above link which we covered previously, and also a 6-month trial of the Entertainment app.
Hat tip to San_K
This offer is for streaming only on your phone/internet. Will not work in your car. I suspect that’s the fee discrepancy, not a discount from regular rate.
Does this come with Howard Stern?
I’ve had Sirius for many years in several vehicles and canceled it when it renewed in the spring. Each year I would go through the dance with Sirius and negotiation a price I was comfortable with. The last two years I paid $60 plus fees and taxes. This past year they offered it to me for $62, including all of the taxes in fees, but I’ve been finding that the service has become redundant. Accordingly, I canceled. Now I receive emails offering TWO years for $4.99 a month (plus taxes and fees). The reality is that I’ve lost interest, so the price really doesn’t matter.
Isn’t this for new users only?
Just know this is the streaming one, so no vehicle radio. But if you cancel it thru the website, it will likely be offer $5 for 12m. Which is a good deal.
Not the best deal they have for retention but all considered no phone calls or chatting crap and its 12m.
Worth considering if you want this for your car. Just use your current amex and the streaming credit should take care of it if you aren’t already maximizing that benefit.
Would it work in your car via Apple CarPlay? My current sub let me have it in the car and on my phone, but I always use the CarPlay version in the car, because the interface is better than the native (vehicle) version in the Mini. Wondering if CarPlay is a work around if you have streaming only…
Not sure on that. But that’s relying on cell towers which can be spotty for others.
Yes. I only use SiriusXM via CarPlay even though my car has it. Much better quality if you stream.
It’s actually for $5/month for 12 months
Signed-up and immediately cancelled. Trial is still good until 4/5/2023.
Spotify needs to do the same
