Default XM Rate increase

Did anyone else get the notice from XM that they are having to push through a couple $ a month increase to go to the music police? Percentage wise, it is a hell of a increase........

It's been mentioned here before, but I didn't get one, probably because neither of my subscriptions is close to being expired.

They had poor business ethics and terrible customer service at the old prices. I don't see how raising their prices has a chance in hell of winning me back as a customer

Just received my renewal notice. $40 for three months. Called and said I wanted to cancel. They offered me the $77 for a year deal, which I accepted. This has now worked for me three years in a row.

I called to cancel the wife's due to the rate change but they immediately offered me the $77 deal which I took since she likes XM. However, the initial year for the vette ends this month and they do not have a card on file. I plan to cancel it and NOT accept the $77 offer. I cancelled my Suburban back in Dec and really don't notice it being gone. Just use the iPod/iPhones and locals.
