Onstar subscription

[skyski_tige]

I called to cancel my onstar subscription today... here is what they offered, first off it was 100 free minutes... I said no... then they told me they that due to the economy they dropped the rate to 12.95 from 18.95... I said no... then they told me they would give me 2 months free and then start the 12.95... I said ok

If you are currently paying for Onstar... Call them and see how much more they are willing to give!

Thanks for sharing! I don't have on-star, but appreciate it when people share how to save money.

Nice work. I'll have to give that a shot. Thanks for the heads up.

That approach works well with most Cable TV providers also!

satelite radio also....

Yes it does, we've been paying $4.50/month for all the hbo and cenemax channels for about 5 years now. They keep trying to raise the rates, I tell them to take it off, they say they can keep the rate...gotta try it with xm now though. We use slacker on our iphones so much xm is hardly worth it, but if I can get the rate lower we'll see.

XM/Sirius you can get a full year for $77, just call them up and say that you got a flyer in the mail or email but don't have it with you.

Here's the verbiage from the email that I got:

And what’s more, XM would like to extend a special offer to you. Subscribe to XM Everything for just $77** for 12 months or $4.99** per month for 6 months – that’s up to 50% off. Plus, there’s no activation fee. Keep the entertainment you want at an incredible discount. To subscribe now, just call
1-877-228-9041.

DAMMIT I just re-uped for two years............ahhhhhhhhh poopey!

The one time I really could have used onstar (needed to find the closest hospital while I was at the lake), they said they couldn't help me b/c they were unable to locate me.

Kind of pointless if they can't find you in rural areas!

if I ever get my z running again I'll have to look into it!

sirius has lifetime for 399. I might just do that.

Negative.

allowed 5 transfers and if stollen it doesn't count.

and after that it's just a 10 dollar transfer fee.

Thanks for all the ON-Star info. Even though my wife and I have Cell phones we use On Star as a third phone on our Verizon family share plan to get low rates on calls and handsfree calling with superb sound clarity vs numerous bluetooth solutions I have tried. We will be up for renewal in a couple of months and it is good to hear that they will haggle to keep a customer. We don't need itsirections feature since our Tahoe has built in Nav system but other feature are peace of mind issues if for some reason I or m wife were in a serious crash.
