Mike Isles 583 Posted March 31, 2021 Bought a new car and SiriusXM was included then after a year we were charged $26.99 a month. After being lazy for a couple months I called today to cancel. They gave me an offer to keep it for another year for $6.06 a month including taxes and fees. PSA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Voltaire 46 Posted March 31, 2021 I've been paying $5/mo forever, just by calling and asking every 6 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted March 31, 2021 That works with a lot of subscriptions. Just contact them and ask for a reduced monthly plan or else you will cancel. I know my cell phone carrier even has a special category of phone plans that are modified due to stuff like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually tell them I'm thinking about cancelling but I really dont want to, I just need to save money. I had a credit card cancelled after I told them I didn't want to pay the annual fee, hoping they would comp it, but they just cancelled the card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They called my bluff once and I had to go a week without it. They called me after that week and told me they were able to find the same deal I had previously. $68 for the year.
