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.

Just so you know. They automatically renew your subscription every year through your credit card.
