Has anybody ever got a Lifetime sub to Satellite Radio?

 

I did. I tend to keep vehicles for a while.

 

lifetime is the life of the vehicle, not the human...

 

So it's still a good deal so long as you keep the unit for 3 years or more.

From Sirius Terms and Conditions:

9. Lifetime Subscription Plan: A "Lifetime Subscription" is one that continues for the life of the Receiver equipment. A Lifetime Subscription is not transferable if it is associated with a Receiver installed by an automaker or an automotive dealer in a vehicle, except in the event the original Receiver associated with that Lifetime Subscription is stolen, accidentally damaged or if, in the sole discretion of SIRIUS XM Radio Inc., it is defective. A Lifetime Subscription associated with a home, portable, or dock & play Receiver is transferable from one Receiver to another Receiver, up to a maximum of three (3) times. Each permitted transfer of a Subscription is subject to a transfer fee. If you transfer a Lifetime Subscription from one Receiver to another or from one person to another, you will be charged a transfer fee. The current transfer fee is set forth in these Terms. No transfer fee will be charged for the transfer of a Lifetime Subscription associated with a Receiver installed by an automaker or an automotive dealer if, in the sole discretion of SIRIUS XM Radio Inc., the Receiver is defective. Lifetime Subscriptions are nonrefundable. You may cancel a Lifetime Subscription but if you cancel during the first year of service you will be charged a cancellation fee set forth in these Terms.

I just a call 15 minutes ago. $77 for mine and $53 for my wife's Escape for 1 year. Wife just told me now that they are off the phone that mine was actually $99 after taxes and fees, her's was $75 after t&f's.

 

I have had Pioneer HUs for years. I bought the XM add on box that plugs into any Pioneer HU. The nice thing is I can upgrade the HU at any time without upgrading the XM box. The only time I need to transfer "radios" according to XM is if the Pioneer XM box dies. I ended up buying the lifetime subscription as well. I hope the Pioneer XM box lasts at least 10 yrs before I have to make my first of the 3 "radio" swaps.

 

Just called and got the 77 dollar deal as well. I didn't even have to give them the zwinback code. All I had to say was that I head about the deal and that's all it took. She did say that a good bit of their customers use the promotion as well. She did say that it was only a one year deal and next time I would have to pay the full amount. I don't belies that at all but I'll worry about it when the time comes.

 

Called the other day to cancel service (need every cent i can keep). They offered my 5mos. free. Took them up on their offer, more likely to cancel then. GG

 

how much for the lifeetime deal?

 

I think it's $400. My recollection was they charge your credit card $80 for five months. There may be other payment options.

 

My brother in Chicago just got a Lifetime for $499.00. HE SAID HE DIDN'T ASK FOR THAT THEY JUST OFFERED WHEN HE WENT TO RENEW.

 

Thanks for the info I think im going to get it I know Ill be keeping my car for at least another ten years probaly longer so I think it pays to get it.

 

I let my Sirius expire one month ago, but I had called them four times to negotiate. No deal. Yesterday they call me and offer the $77 deal ($95 with tax) and I took them up on it. They said next time I will have to pay full price. We will see.

 

FYI, the lifetime subscription is for the life of the radio that you sign it up for (in the case you have multiple subscriptions, the lifetime sub is only good for that radio) and you have up to three radio swaps if the radio takes a dump on you. I signed up for the lifetime sub on 1 of my radios 4 years ago and have already had to swap it out once, so I have 2 swaps left. As far as I'm concerned, the lifetime sub is a good deal. Right now though they are trying to stick it to me on my other 2 subs. I'm waiting to see if I can get the $77 deal, which I should, since any subscription after the main one is supposed to be 1/2 price anyway.

 

just to update this thread some. i was offered and 87 a yr plan a week ago when my renewal was due but i opted for the 5 month for 23 dollar plan which imo is worth it
