Get SiriusXM deals and discounts
SiriusXM is offering their best ever special this summer – 12 months of SiriusXM All Access satellite radio for $4 a month. Or get your first three months free, with no credit card required.

SiriusXM $48 Per Year

SiriusXM is offering a 12-month subscription for $4 a month, or $48 for the full year.  This subscription gives you SiriusXM’s most popular service, the SiriusXM All Access Plan.  The All Access Plan provides more than 150 channels in your car satellite radio, plus Howard Stern and additional sports channels.  The plan also comes with free access to the SiriusXM app, which has another 200+ streaming-only channels.

The special price is $4 per month, or $48 for a full year.  The SiriusXM regular rate for the All Access Plan is $24.98 / mo.

If you want to sign up now for the $4 / mo deal, or read more about it, you can do so at:

SiriusXM Car Radio Special – $4 per month

You may want to start your SiriusXM subscription with a free trial, which is risk-free since no credit card is required. Get your first three months free, and after that you can request the $4 / mo deal.

You can sign up for the SiriusXM free trial at:

SiriusXM Car Radio 3 Months Free Trial

Your service automatically ends after the free trial.  SiriusXM will contact you to suggest a paid plan.  At that point you can request the $4 per month deal.

SiriusXM satellite radio deals are officially good only for new and returning subscribers but if you’re a current subscriber you can also get a deal when your current subscription is expiring, as described below.

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 All Access plan, the most popular SiriusXM service, is $24.98 a month.

To get a discounted rate, find out when your subscription is expiring and set a note to yourself to call SiriusXM a few days before your service ends. 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 or email later from SiriusXM with a 50% off or better offer.  To cancel SiriusXM call 1-866-635-5020 or visit:

How I Renewed SiriusXM for $60 / Year

On a personal note, I recently saw my subscription was auto-renewing in a few days so I called SiriusXM and said I could not afford the regular rate. I asked for the $60 annual rate.  SiriusXM said no, so I said, OK, cancel.  They did.  My subscription expired on March 10, 2025, and my satellite car radio stopped working.

Since I do like SiriusXM in the car, as a temporary solution I used my iPhone and logged into the SiriusXM app with another account in my household that was still active.  I started the SiriusXM app and plugged my iPhone into my car, and the channel list showed up on the screen.

I got by fine with that, but 11 days later, I got an email from SiriusXM offering the $60 per year rate.  The in-car app is OK but the car radio is easier to use and to surf channels, so I accepted.

So, the lesson is, if you can stand to live without the car radio for 10 or so days, let your subscription expire and you’ll get a good deal.

SiriusXM Streaming App Deal

With the SiriusXM All Access app you can stream every SiriusXM channel on your phone.  Get your first 3 months free, then pay $9.99 / mo unless you cancel.  Note that this does not give you access through your car radio, but of course if you have Apple Carplay you can connect your phone to your auto’s sound system and play what you want.

You can sign up for the SiriusXM app with your first three months free at:

SiriusXM All Access App 3 Months Free

Remember that all the in-car radio deals also give you free access to the SiriusXM app.

Note: Senior Daily may get a commission on subscriptions initiated through the links above.

SiriusXM Student Special

SiriusXM offers a $4 per month streaming platinum special for college students.  This is the SiriusXM streaming app and does not include car radio service.

Start with $1 for 3 months then pay $4 a month.  The regular non-student rate for streaming is $9.99 a month. To enroll, visit:

SiriusXM Student Discount

SiriusXM Military Discount

SiriusXM offers a 25% discount to all active and veteran military members and their families.  To enroll, visit:

SiriusXM Discount for Military

SiriusXM does not offer a senior discount.

Sharing a SiriusXM Account

Technically, you cannot share a single SiriusXM account.  However, it is possible to use one account in two vehicles.

With one active SiriusXM radio account, you have access to satellite car radio plus access to the SiriusXM app that lets you stream SiriusXM onto your phone or other smart device.  This means you can use the satellite radio in one vehicle and the app in another.  For example, with an iPhone you can use the SiriusXM app plus Apple carplay to stream SiriusXM through your car’s audio system.

Here’s where to get the SiriusXM app; you will need to sign in with the credentials used for your SiriusXM radio account.

SiriusXM App for Apple

SiriusXM App for Android

SiriusXM New Vehicle Deal

If you buy a new vehicle, you will get a free 3-month subscription.  If you have an unused service credit in your old car, you can transfer the SiriusXM credits to your new car.
