> Sign up for SiriusXM and then try to cancel.

I don't recall the exact button presses, but I've had a SiriusXM subscription, and it wasn't a problem to cancel. Just the usual "Subscriptions" section under my account IIRC.

Funny enough I had a hard time giving them money in the first place though, where the links for the promotion they were emailing me about refused to load.

I don’t believe you based on my experience.

Ok. I'm not willing to drop $10 just to retest, and it doesn't sound like you are either, so our anecdotes just have to stand on their own.

FWIW here's there documentation on cancelling which says it can be done from the subscription tab: https://www.siriusxm.com/help/manage-or-cancel-service

According to this Reddit thread you can cancel online but you must first chat with an agent. That's the Sirius XM I know. This thread is a year old. Maybe they have changed their ways but I'm skeptical. Consider me the Apostle Thomas. I doubt unless I see it with my own eyes.

I can say I 100% did not talk to an agent on the phone or in a chat box. I would have remembered that bullshit and not resubscribed (I did their 3 month for $1, promo, cancelled, then resubscribed when they sent me an email for a similar deal if I resubscribed).

This was early this year. Also app only (I don't have an XM radio). So maybe they've improved or maybe they are less aggressive with the nonradio plans.
