After buying my OB mid September, I received late last week a renewal bill, which stated an expiration date of the trial as mid-December. No surprises there, this error is well known and understood. In fact, I wouldn't worry that much if I didn't get the 4th month ... SiriusXM is nice to have, but I'd never pay anything close to what they ask for a subscription, so I think I have to learn to live without it sooner or later.
Anyway, I decided to look online at Sirius to see if there were an easy way to contact them, like through an email, to ask them to change my date (again, I didn't think it worth my time to call them). I found that my account now lists my expiration as March 2013! I've read in another forum entry that when they fix this problem, they can't do anything but incrementally add 4 months, so I think they must have added 4 months to the 2 months I've already used it, giving me 6 months free. What a deal!
As a side bonus to logging on, I was able to change my phone number. The last new car I bought had a Sirius radio, and when the free trial expired they called relentlessly to get me to renew; even when I'd answer and tell them no and ask them to stop calling, they continued to call multiple times a day for months. Anyway, I was able to change my contact info with them to a work phone number that I have that I only call out on ... it never rings. So, their dialer can now call me to it's heart content.
