In June, I reported in this thread that my "3 month free trial" for Sirius XM ended only 3 weeks after I picked up the car in May.
I called the number on the radio (not the one reported in this thread) and was told I had only 30 days.
After that, I just plugged in my iPod and forgot about XM.
Near the end of September, I got a call from XM asking how I'm enjoying my Leaf and my "free XM trial".
I explained to them about how my "free trial" stopped working after only 3 weeks.
According to their computer, I had a trial until October 14th.
Since they are in the marketing department, they really couldn't help but said they would TRY to pass along the info. to the proper dept.
Meanwhile, I get a marketing call EVERY DAY from a different person at XM trying to sell me the 6 month for $4.99 per month deal.
I explain to each one I haven't HAD my free trial yet so I'm not paying for anything.
Finally, I file an online help ticket with XM and managed to get a 3 month free trial that runs from Oct - Jan.
1 or 2 more calls from the marketing dept. came through after that, but they've finally stopped.
Based on this experience, I am NOT a fan of XM and would be HIGHLY unlikely to become a paid subscriber.
Now I have the trial again, I'm reminded that the music is interrupted by DJ's and adverts for XM's other stations and services.
I think I'll go back to the iPod when the trial is over!
