For those interested in renewing their XM radio subscription at a discount, you will be happy to know that using "ZWINBACK" as a promo code for $77 for one year still works. How do I know? I just did it yesterday (June 18) without a hitch. My 3 month trial was about to expire. I called 1-800-892-5400 (instead of the number on my papers. I got it from an XLR site). First I heard a recording from "Kaitlin" a digital receptionist. Then "Carlos" came on and I told him my trial was about to expire and I wanted to see if I could get a promotional rate I had heard about, I thot through GM. He asked for my radio ID, name, and address verification. Then he asked what I was interested in. That's when I said I was interested in the promo using code "ZWINBACK". He said just a minute, and when he came back he said it was $77 for one year, and I would have to give a credit card since it was a promotion.
OK, if you are like me, I did a lot of searches on this before I tried it. The latest success I found was back in Oct 06, so this is an update.
I found several suggested phone numbers. This was the first one I tried and it worked. I never lied about anything (although my reference to GM was meant to be a general one, i.e. thru a GM-related website) and had he asked anything else I would have told him...such as car type, etc. But I suppose that was already tagged to the radio ID. If I hadn't gotten the deal I probably would not have renewed. In a year, I'm hoping the merger with Sirius goes thru and they keep their word about offering ala carte subscriptions. I only listen to one station 99.9% of the time.
Give it a try if you want to save over the $12+/month rate.
