How long did your free 90 day XM trial last?

[dg_moore]

Mine is still active after 13 months. I never listen to XM, but every now and then I switch to it to see if it's still active. So far, it is

Wow. Before my 90 days was up, I did read here and a few other places that they didn't bother actually shutting the service off in many cases. So, when they started sending me subscriptions letters after about 30 days I ignored them to see what would happen after 90 days. Maybe I'm in the minority, but they shut me down within about a week of 90 days from the day I bought the car. So, enforcement appears to vary greatly.

Congrats on your free satellite radio!

I was told XM was 1 year free before signing however, they shut it off after 90 days.
Because I complained they said it is 1 year free only with the tech package.
Yet because I have a 2011 4.6, can't be baught without tech package they turned it back on.

i bought my 2010 4.6 last month, the XM still works, so left it alone. So far, I love, never thought listen to radio without interruption is so much fun.

I have never gotten any correspondence from XM, either. I'm very seldom in my car for more than 15 or 20 minutes at a time and listen mostly to NPR - maybe they know somehow that I don't listen to it, and since I'm not using it maybe they feel no pressing need to turn it off .

My one-year trial has stretched to almost 2 years. When I checked on their website with my radio code and my car ID, there is no record of either. I don't think they know I am out here.

I'll see what happens in July when 2 years are up.

I did not use the XM much at first, but I have become something of a fan now.

My 2010 with Tech package expired after 90 days. I love it and negotiated a 3 year deal. Sounds like 2011 with Tech are 12 months??

 

[chilly mac]

2011 4.6 with Tech here, 3 months then they shut it down. Maybe 2011 3.8 with Tech option gets 12 months of XM and 4.6 (all 2011 4.6 has Tech standard) gets only 3 months, but that seems highly unlikely.

Oh, I just read OldSpice's post. Yeah, maybe it's offered for 12 months free on 3.6's as an incentive to upgrade with Tech package. I suppose that would make at least a little sense.

Maybe a hair off topic, but one should be able to negotiate a (vehicle) lifetime subscription for about $650 after all royalties, taxes, etc. Just don't give them your credit card number, and expect the first invoice to be about $200 high until you call them and tell them to get their shit straight.

They cut mine off in 92 days. About 2 months later XM called me on my cell (no idea of where they got the number) and offered it to me for $77 (Half Price). I accepted and also was given half off the XM for the computer. Spend a lot of time in the car and enjoy it.

Mine is also past the 12month mark now. When I purchased my vehicle the salesman said that the 2009s had a 12 month subscription, but they dropped it down to 90 days for the 2010 models. I presume that 90 day subscription has continued for the newer models.

2 1/2 years and still going strong...( with traffic ) !!

I would like to see this entire thread deleted before it causes problems.

I got 1 year with 2009 Tech Package -- I didn't use it at all for 2.5 - 3 months but found it to my liking without commercials or having to change stations when I travel.

I bought the lifetime subscription.

I live in a no where town, so I might not get the option here, but how can you tell if you have XM traffic?

Mine was already expired when I got the car. I think it was used for a demo for a short time. After 3 months of getting letters from XM I called them and told them I never got MY 90 day trial period so they gave me 1 year for $24.95.
