I have been a loyal subscriber of Sirius XM for 25 years, and it is with great disappointment that I have finally decided to cancel my membership. My experience with Sirius XM's pricing, cancellation policies, and customer service has been increasingly frustrating and has led me to permanently sever ties.
First and foremost, the pricing structure is misleading. When I initially signed up, I was under the impression that I would be paying $6.99 a month. This seemed like reasonable pricing for access to a decent selection of music and talk radio channels. However, without any clear communication or warning, my monthly rate was increased to $24.99. This substantial price hike felt like a classic bait-and-switch tactic, leaving me dissatisfied and feeling taken advantage of.
Attempting to resolve this issue was an exercise in futility. Sirius XM's customer service team was unhelpful, providing no clear explanation for the price increase, or offering a sensible solution. They seemed more interested in retaining my business by offering confusing and quickly expiring promotional rates, rather than addressing my concerns about the base pricing structure.
Moreover, trying to cancel my subscription was unnecessarily difficult. The process was not transparent, requiring multiple phone calls and navigating through various customer service representatives who seemed more focused on making retention offers than facilitating my request. It felt more like an obstacle course designed to exhaust subscribers, hoping they give up on canceling.
In my 25 years with Sirius XM, I never imagined that a service I enjoyed would become so frustratingly overpriced and unresponsive to customer concerns. It seems as though the company prioritizes short-term profits over long-term customer satisfaction.
If you're considering Sirius XM, I advise caution. Be wary of enticing introductory offers, and prepare for potential price hikes and challenging cancellation procedures. There are other music and radio streaming services that are more transparent in their pricing and respectful of their customers. My long-standing relationship with Sirius XM is over, and I hope this review serves as a warning to potential subscribers.
I've been using Siri XM since October 2023. I no longer could afford it so I called and canceled my account. I told them before I did not want no more service and they still continue to take money out of my account and would not refund me my money back, this is not fair to customers In my eyes that is consider stealing
Never worked in vehicle and phone app played same music so frequently,I began to predict next song. ON any channel. Got on website to discontinue. That is I'm possible. You end up chasing your tail. I used my rocket app to do this for me with success. Later I discovered Siriusxm had charged me 199.99 thank goodness my bank knew it was crap so they didn't pay it. Please do not pay for this service. To me me thay are snakes in the grass. Thanks for reading. My one star rating is for my middle finger to Sirius xm.
Dear Sirius thank you for ruining a perfectly great app when you change to the new format. I don't know how one company could screw something so easy up so completely. My saved channels are difficult to find my favorite shows are difficult to find. What moron came up with this?
Yes I was charged $11.96 and got a discount if $9.10 the problem I do have however No email was ever sent showing it was time to either renewal or cancel your membership No they went ahead and took money off of my PayPal card and this is getting a complaint also filed with the BBB on this sorry but this is not how to handle business with a customer any good company like Spotify or Pandora they send out emails to let the customer know there renewal date is about up.
Only found 1 classical music channel, the majority channels are politcal-news. Since its a paid service you would think their wouldn't be ads, but no after every song there's multiple ads. So overall you might as well just listen to normal radio stations on fm or am and they will will probably better match your tastes and be cheaper.
The music is good, but customer service is terrible. Tried to cancel my service, and spent an hour online trying to do. Very slow and agents seem to lack training on what they are doing...waste of time. Called them online and no one could speak English well enough for me to understand.so still couldn't cancel. Finally had to cancel the autopay at my bank. My monthly bill went from 20 dollars to almost 60 dollars with no notification. Do not use this service...these people are not very intelligent, and hard to deal with. Just read other reviews on here and it seems these people are ripping people off by jumping their rates without notification. Scam artists! Do not use their service.
They keep charging my credit card without permission to raise the price! They continue to raise the monthly price, and I just wanted the free trial! Don't ever give them your card info because they just keep automatically charging credit cards and continue to raise the price!
SiriusXM hardware power port was glued onto circuit board.
WTF, came unglued & so did I.
Brilliant eWaste generator & ridiculous short play list rotation too
I hardly listened to it as the songs just repeat and repeat and repeat.
WORST was when I talked to them to cancel my service. It's just way too expensive. I told them I had to sell my car to afford food and necessities and they just kept pushing me to "stream the service" at home. I said again I am BROKE. Need the money! They then charges me $40 to cancel. Wtf. Just completely oblivious to how much it costs to live now a days...then CHARGE me to leave. Unbelievably cruel. Don't go with these money hungry "people".
Answer: Sirius xm seems to have 2 problems. The 1st, regarding the app is the fact that the songs don't line up witn either the car radio or on the app, the titles of songs. For example, say the channel you are tuning into shows the doors "light my fire". You can go to that channel and find that light my fire played 25 minutes ago and there is a different song playing altogether. For whatever reason, the have a huge problem keeping the title of songs in sync with the one that's playing. They also have an inconsistent replay button. Some times it will work fine, but other times it will just play the final few notes of the last song and wastes the "back" button and go right back to the presrnt song which would have played anyway and not waste the back button.
Sirius XM has a rating of 1.2 stars from 120 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with Sirius XM most frequently mention customer service, credit card and free trial. Sirius XM ranks 145th among Radio sites.
