Get 12 months of SiriusXM satellite radio plus a free Echo Dot for $60 in a new SiriusXM offer.

This 12-month subscription will work on your car satellite radio, plus you’ll get to use the SiriusXM app on your smartphone.  The plan in the offer is the most popular SiriusXM plan, Music and Entertainment.

This special price is $60 for a full year, after which you’ll be billed at the regular rate of $17.99 a month unless you act.

This deal is officially good only for new and returning subscribers but some current users say they were able to cancel their current subscription and sign up for the $60 special.  You can find a discussion of this at the Redditt SiriusXM Community.

OFFER DETAILS: Activate a new Music & Entertainment subscription plan and pay $60 upfront for your first 12 months and get a free Echo Dot (4th gen), while supplies last. A credit card is required on this offer. Your SiriusXM service will automatically renew thereafter every month and, beginning on the 13th month, you will be charged at the then-current rates (currently $17.99/month). Fees and taxes apply. Please see our Customer Agreement at www.siriusxm.com for complete terms and how to cancel, which includes online methods or calling us at 1-866-635-2349. All fees, content and features are subject to change. This offer cannot be combined with any other and may be modified or terminated at any time.

Offer for new subscribers only.  

Keeping a SiriusXM Deal

SiriusXM Deals for Current Subscribers

If you’re a current SiriusXM subscriber, when your current annual contract ends, you will be automatically renewed at the full, regular rate unless you call ahead of time. The regular rate for the Music & Entertainment plan, the most popular SiriusXM service, is $215 per year.

To get a discounted rate, find out when your subscription is expiring and set a note to yourself to call Sirius a few days before your service ends. Call and tell SiriusXM you cannot afford the full rate and so must cancel.

Usually you’ll get an offer to continue at a discount, half price or less.   If you don’t get a good discount offer, tell SiriusXM to go ahead and cancel. Usually you will get a callback later from SiriusXM with a 50% off or better offer. To cancel SiriusXM call 1-866-635-5020 or visit:

  • Platinum – SiriusXM with premium content on your car satellite radio plus on your phone or PC. $1 for 3 months then $22.99 per month after 3 months.  Platinum has additional premium content such as the Howard Stern channel and sports play-by-play.
