So I have been a subscriber for years. Renew for a year. Something like $150 for a year, had a special for less so I took it.

Must be renewal time. My credit card billed for $230. Auto renew of some other joke. Thought that was illegal first of all. And a $100 increase in subscription. **^%$ is that. Now they charge for internet, that always came with your subscription.

Sheez, just wait until I find the phone number and wait on hold for a couple hours.

Snap. I just had the same thing. I need to call and have a friendly chat with them as I didn't agree to automatic withdrawal. Buggers!

I never either but apparently, somewhere in the fine print, they can just redo your subscription automatically.

Its not that, so much as the freakin increase. Sheez, I only listen to sports talk with commercials

They took $106 from me so there is a big difference between offers I guess.

Many are getting it for $75/yr... If you google, you can see this. I brought this up at the time they auto renewed me... Complained about it, why I pay so much, and others pay so little.

I pay $75 for my main unit, and then they gave me $50 for my truck.

Just call and complain, like I did.

Oh Yeah, you can have them turn off auto renew also.

My xm just expired and they hounded me to renew. Thought the programming sucked, just as repetitive as local radio so why pay for it.

Onstar was just as relentless, saying I could get into an accident and how would I get help? Please really..... Pretty sure help would come. Also, they mailed me a renewal for over $400/year, then called and offered it for $199. Told them to go blow, they offer it to us customers for about $12 a month, why can't I get that when the dollar is at par or better, certainly not that much of a diff.

Both have been quiet since but if I decided to use the service, I'd mail the payment, never give my cc info just for the auto billing.

Guess I never updated my address after I moved, thus no promotion info.

So now I have to send an e mail and plead my point to see what we can do.

So its $175.89 +$11.85 Canadian music royalty fee +$22.50 taxes.

Royalty fee ????????????? I only listen to Mad Dog Russo. Well his channel.
