Let my wife's expire and got a letter for $24.99 for 6 months, went ahead and renewed.

Best deal on my truck NAV with travel link was $88 for 1 year. After the first free 6 months, i did get 6 more months for $36 (with travel link).

I did use a credit card but I used my Citibank that has Virtual Credit card numbers that you can generate on the fly with a set limit and expiration. So on both vehicles, Created two VC just for the amount then closed both VC after they charged it. Even if they tried, can't get me on any auto billing. Will renegotiate again when the time comes and just use another VC.

I got tired of hearing the same song over and over on my favorite station, the biggest turn off was the sound quality, terrible!

I called to cancel a home account I was paying for my dad. The price dropped from $15/mo to $25 for 6 mo. This was in late October.

I bumped the wrong button on the stereo while driving to work this morning. Lo and behold: the Sirius is active again. Must be a free trial. Still not worth it.

I had an account that I didn't renew when they sent a bill. A few months later I get a letter from collections. They "auto renewed" my account and wanted money. Turns out that is not enforceable in NYS where both sirius is headquartered and I live unless they either notify you in person or via certified mail. I like a few stations and would pay for it but **** them after that stunt. I used to love satellite radio and tell everyone. I still tell everyone but my opinion is not positive.

"Oh I see, so it's just a money issue?

"Yes that's correct"

"...well, what I can do if you're interested ..."

My friend and I have both done this before, ended up with a 50% discount. This simple polite method works for lots of things. Worked for our satellite TV subscription and I'm going to try it with Microsoft next time my xbox live membership is due.
hahaha to funny......same different pile.....

I just went through same kinda crap with AOL Canada.....went to cancel, it was 29.99 a month, I don't use it and being on disablilty I can't afford it....he offered me 12.99 then finally down to 4.99 month.......and said cancel!! to 0....lol

I even put a stop payment at the bank 6 months ago and they still kept taking money out...the bank gave me the money back last time, but I see AOL took over 50.00 out of my account...don't use a cheque......use M/O only!!!

Im actually going to the bank today to repoer them, taking money out.....

as far Sirus

Im letting this expire and see what they come at me with, and do the same dance as before.....but if I do get it will only be with a Money Order....

I'm one of the idiots that paid with my visa 6 months ago. Last week I saw a charge in my account for around $112 from sirious... If it wasnt all I listened to I'd raise hell, but I would like to know if that was for a year or 6 months.

X2.... Let all the letters come in, and when you finally get the yellow one, give them a call and this is the deal you will get.

I don't want to derail a thread grandpa, but you still use AOL, and were paying for it?! I'm glad you didn't end up paying for it in the end because that must be some special Canadian deal; here in the states, my AOL mail that is 12 years old is FREE!! Maybe I've been grandfathered in, but still.... Who pays for e-mail service anymore? :-)

actuall I opened the account 7 yrs ago....when I was up north working pipeline, and renting a room...and for got about it...and I just never paid attention to it, I thought it was a Life Ins payment through my bank, and for got about the aol.....I was working 12 hrs aday 6-7 days aweek, as I hardly looked at my statement. Until 6 months I noticed that payment jumped to 50.00 a month...so iasked why and then they told me it was aol canada.....but the systems we were using then are not like now....anyway they tried to screw me more so I finally called them and canceled it and they still tried to take it out..... there was a reason I had to get a paying account just can;'t rememebr that now.....lol
