Who paid to keep Sirius? Most of our 'trials' expire in a few days!

For those of us who had the BETA Sirius (along with it's issues) and now the official 90 days trial is about to end, who is keeping it vs. just using Amazon Music or Spotify instead? I have NOT renewed/given my credit card and am going to try to live with just my Spotify and Amazon music for a bit 1st
 
I got an offer to extend for 3 months for $2. After that I’ll pay the $5/mo offer … I use SXM more at home on my Echos

Interesting. Mine only said $5 in the letter I got.. Was this in an email or a letter? Did you take them up on the offer? ..er wait, I remember the $2 for another 3 months offer a while back but I don't remember it saying $5 after that (which really ends up over $7 a month after taxes added back on btw-- at least for me and my location anyway). I believe it's like $7.92 with taxes with that $5 a month deal. I already pay $10.99 a month for Spotify so I'm not sure I want to deal with a harder to cancel Sirius option. I remember family saying it was harder than trying to cancel cable!
 
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but to me Sirius' audio quality and range of music choices is unlistenable.

Its certainly not the best quality going through the internet instead of antenna based like in our ICE vehicle. What do you listen to that's superior quality because I didn't feel like Spotify or Title are all that much better in all honesty!

I activated the $2 / 3mo offer when I received it back in Jan and my account shows it will be active starting 3-2. I’ve received 3-4 more mailings for the $5/mo offer. You can call them and ask for the same offer. Threaten to cancel and they will acquiesce
 
I hate the Sirius game. You get a 12 month deal then you have to call and threaten to cancel to get them to give you the price again at renewal. I had it in a prior car and I would call once a year. I don't have the energy for that so I will probably just let it expire. I do like listening to the news channels but thats all.

My husband has had it for years so when mine is up, it will automatically renew. He added me when we first got it.
 
Is Tidal best option for quality?
I find Tidal’s overall audio quality excellent. However I think many of the Atmos branded tracks are not much better than their non-Atmos counterparts. Let’s face it, many of these tracks were recorded decades ago and I’m assuming are simply remastered to add the additional Atmos channel. To me it’s kind of like taking a HD BluRay and upconverting it to 4K and calling it a UHD BluRay. Many titles like that out there.

With that said, some of Bunny’s Atmos suggestions are very good, but you may or may not like a particular genre of music in his Atmos suggestions.
 
hmmm. I had Tidal before I had my Lucid and canceled because I enjoyed Spotify more.. I guess I can give it a try again to see if it's improved since then?
 
I just let mine expire. I tried it a couple of times but it seemed not great. I use Spotify and Apple Music and will try Tidal soon.

It is a crappy game. They were having two year monthly payment deals back in Dec and still might for their All-Access Subscription. I only pay $3.99 a month, plus tax and so does my wife for the next two years. Well worth it for us.
 
You have to have Apple play engaged to get tidal ? Or can you just play through Bluetooth ?
I just signed up for subscription through my iphone

I see an option to sign into Tidal just like I signed into Spotify and Amazon... check it out. BTW, I do NOT have an iPhone

I think I made a goof. I set up the account on my phone and didn’t redeem the code that pops up. Now that I have an account, there’s no place to redeem on the app. I think I’m gonna have to go in and delete the account and set up again.
 
I haven't even tried Sirius in the car beyond the first day of the beta many moons ago. I pay for Tidal and listen to it exclusively.
Same. And they call me several times a week. I've blocked their number.
