The SiriusXM $5 a month deal: who gets it and how
Last checked November 11, 2026
Customers report being offered about $5 a month for 12 months when they tell SiriusXM the price is too high, and one invoice we have seen shows $5.99 a month for 12 months. Neither means your account will be offered it.
What it really costs
On an invoice we have seen, dated November 1, 2026, the line read "Promo - Music & Entertainment - Monthly - ($5.99/mo for 12 mos)": a $4.99 base charge plus a $1.00 U.S. Music Royalty Fee, for $5.99 a month. The same account had been paying $25.99. SiriusXM says its advertised prices include the fee, so for any offer, ask what the total is.
Who is offered it
LowerMySubs describes about $5 a month for 12 months as a common retention offer. Reports say it comes after telling SiriusXM the price is too high and turning down higher offers. It is not guaranteed, and other reports describe offers of $6 to $11.
How to ask
Contact SiriusXM, say the price is more than you want to pay, turn down the first offer, and then ask for it by name: "I've seen other subscribers offered around five dollars a month for twelve months. Can you do that?" The full wording is in the script.
How long it lasts
The invoice we saw was for 12 months. One tracker reports $4.99 a month for 24 months as a win-back offer sent after cancelling. When the term ends the bill returns to the regular price, so read what to do before it ends.
Will it still be around?
In July 2026 SiriusXM's chief executive said the company may pull back from discounts at low prices. The November 2026 invoice above shows one account was still given it then.
