XM Renewal at $77...gone?

[vida]

Well it looks like the $77 for 1 year deal is gone. My trial expired so I called and asked if they had any deals and they did not (only on additional receivers). So either you have to ask for the $77 deal or it expired. Bummer. I didn't renew at $12+ per month. Has anyone received a good deal lately?

I called up 3 weeks ago, when I went through the voice prompts I picked all of the options that said I did not plan on renewing. When I reached a live operator I asked him if the $77/year deal was available he said it was. might just have to call again and try a different operator.

Well, I took the advice and just asked about it directly ($77 offer). They asked if I got a mailer and I said, "Yup". $82 with the tax and I'm off and running. I was reminded this morning how crappy the morning shows are in this area.
Thanks for the help

Does anyone know if there is a promotional code number you have to mention to get the $77/deal ? My trial just expired and I would prob renew for that price. Thanks.

[Medic721]

They did not ask for any promo code, just the radio ID. I believe those that received the card said their radio id was the same as the code.

No promotion code & if they say the $77 deal does not exist, tell them you would like to speak with there supervisor.. I had to go to the 3rd level...of supervisor, until they gave me the deal... just keep insisting that your on a Honda web site with 100's of owners who received this deal... eventually they will give in...

Glad I logged on tonight and saw this post because my XM trial is about to end and I called this a.m. They wanted to give me a "Roadie" (whatever that is?) for an additional $9.95 ($80 value). When I asked if they would just knock the $80 off the subscription price , it was no go.
I like the $77 price for the one year subscription much better than the standard price they quote. I guess its just like the value of anything else in this world, its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I'll call em back tomorrow and "negotiate". Thanks, guys!!!

Just call and tell them you got a card in the mailing about 1 year at $77 and you'd be interested in that. If they grill you about the detail of the mailing, just say you threw it away but you do remember it reading $77 for 1 year. I called back and got it 5 minutes after I was told there were no specials. I'm guessing they don't like to give out that deal but they will do it. And don't be afraid to call back a bit later and try a different operator. Good luck.

Appears the $77/yr deal is a customer "winback" promotion to get old customers back after they had an increase. I had to call a special number(800-321-7117) to get the deal but they did so politely and gamefully. The flyer that came to me was a renewal for $154.20 so thanks "hondapilot forum" for getting me a half price deal !!

Thanks for this!!
I called the number above and it routed me right to a person that new exactly why I was calling. A great deal for $77. No hassles or upsells.

i got it as well 1st time calling.

thanks

I have called three times (including the number posted above) and I was told that I needed a promotion code from a postcard in order to get the $77 a year offer.

Any suggestions?

[jmeitz]

when i called i just told them i wanted to take advantage of the 77 a year subscription. all they asked for was my xm number. super nice girl, didnt question me at all.

[mmmmark]

Does a person dare call if their subscription just STARTED? I figure by the time 3 months is up, the $77 deal will be a distant memory.

[Medic721]

I called one month in to my trial and asked that question... I have the $77 deal and was advised that it would begin when my trial ended.
