Default Sirius is back - for the second time!

It's been a little more than 6 months since I got the A7, and after 3 months Sirius trial was over. After about 4 or 5 months of ownership, Sirius came back - with traffic info. The free XM went away after about 1 week. Yesterday, Sirius returned, for the second time! Not sure how long this time it will last, but is it a new marketing/advertising strategy from Sirius?

It will last 2 weeks. I got an announcement email from Sirius about it. It says:

We have great news for you. For just 2 weeks, the radio in your vehicle will sound even better. We're pleased to tell you that if you turn on your SIRIUS radio now, you'll find 58 SIRIUS Canada channels waiting for you at no cost for the next 2 weeks.
There's nothing you have to do. It's there waiting for you - FREE. So tune in and enjoy.

If you like what you hear, SIRIUS has a very special offer for you. You can keep SIRIUS in your vehicle for only $4.99* a month for your first three months (regular rate: $14.99 a month) promo code: LoveSirius.


Needless to say, I am not falling for it.

Same here. Sirius is a scam like Cable TV. Just let it expire wait for the 2nd notice and when they call you to renew - tell them you dont need it but just used the "traffic" feature.

They will drop the price to approx $4 a month. That's all it's worth anyway, definitely not the worth prices quoted on their website.

Each time they want to renew my subscription, I call and get a year for $80-85 (three years now). Should never pay more than that (I don't have traffic so not sure what that should be). Just tell them you are going to cancel and they offer the lower price.
