I asked that and it is transferrable to up to 3 radios. I would not have done it otherwise. He agreed to send me the terms and he did.

Personally I'm glad to see them stand up for this blatant cheating of the system.
You aint got the card = you aint gettin the discount.
Perhaps if we all paid $100 per year they would not be facing bankruptcy.
However, To the OP: try again with a different operator and if you say "My father in law" just got XM for $77 - You probably will get it.

Mine expires on Jan. 10th. I just sent them the formal letter to cancel the subscription. For those above who are going to wait for them to call.. don't. The contract you agreed too says that you have to send a regular mail to them at a specific address to cancel otherwise you are automatically renewed. If you don't pay, it goes straight off to the collections department.

I say I have 3 cars and if I can't get a good deal on all I cancel them all. Worked so far.
Really with all of their commercializing I can see why they are going bankrupt. I'm thinking about canceling my 3 now and getting my money back. If I have to switch stations 3-5 time on the way to work then I'll just go with local. At least it is free. Then I can load up my 6 disc for those commercial free moments.

I have renewed 4 times with my 05. Whoever answers the phone just ask for the cancellation dept. I told them that without the $77 program I would cancel. They have renewed every year, and each year they tell me this is the last time they will give me the deal....right.
Also, ask them to send you a bill and pay by check. I recommend you do not pay by credit card and have the possibility of them continuing the service each year at a higher billing on your card.

Renewed mine on 12/4 and got the $77 1-year deal without any problems or issues with XM.
OP: Call XM back and ask for the $77 deal. If you don't get the $77 deal, tell them you want to cancel. You'll be transferred to Cancellation. The Cancellation rep should offer you the $77 deal. Ask them to send you another invoice for the $77 deal and pay by check.

So, D Bob, what is the "card" we cheaters don't have?
I simply "asked" for the $77. rate.
So what you and other members ask for is the "cancelled" member rate given to win you back. It's a loophole... and constantly doing it and fostering its use here in my opinion is cheating XM. Some members admit to doing it year after year after year.
Personally I think $77 is all the service is worth but when given that price I know it's cheating XM as I should be paying full price since I am not a "win back" customer. I hope you don't believe you are innocent just because they accepted? You are a cheater just like me and everyone else who got the $77 improperly.
Until they close the loophole... I'm glad to see cases of denials and poor customer service... At least us having to 'work' for it is somewhat of a consolation.

I'll gladly pay $399 for LIFE, so I'll be calling this evening. I did see on their web site that they have "additional plans" but you have to call.
I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks for the heads up.

I just renewed for 77.00 a year but I did have to tell them I would cancel if they didn't. I never mentioned ZWINBACK and this is the third time I have renewed at 77.00 a year. You must mention that you will cancel or they will not give you that price.
