IMPORTANT -- about your Z's XM radio
 

XM does NOT clearly volunteer/promote this info about combining accounts and that is why I am making this post. Read on..

An XM subscription, any of the ones offered can be pricey. A one year subscription for your Z's XM for example can run you $164+.

Do know that if you have an existing XM radio subscription on another XM radio that you can contact XM and have them "combine" your subscriptions and you will SAVE lots and lots of $ on your subscription. As mentioned earlier, XM does NOT clearly volunteer this info about combining accounts and that is why I am making this post.

ALSO, for those guys/gals that have parents, spouse with an XM subscription for say a car or office XM system you can have your XM combined with theirs (under there account) and then you again will pay say $100 for a year of XM versus $164.00 per year. Since it is a subscription that you pay upfront, hand your Dad / Mom / spouse the $100 cash and have them "combine" your Z's XM radio to their account and presto you save over $64+. Of course you can also get a better monthly if you "combine" and then go with lifetime or multiple year subscriptions versus a year subscription. Your choice on how to handle a subscription. SO, in closing save lots of $ by "combining" your Z's XM radio account with an existing XM radio account and you will save big time!

Note: to do the combine of account call XM customer service at (800) 967-2346. You will need the XM radio's ID that you want to combine with and the XM radio's ID that you are combining to it. Also knowing their XM account number can speed things up but they can can to an XM account just by telling them an XM radio ID#.

I knew this 4 years ago had a home receiver and my car receiver but also had sirius and did it for the year.

You'd be amazed how many are not aware that you can combine these satellite radio accounts and save lots of $. Over the years I have told many about this and the majority did not know this as XM and Sirius do not clearly volunteer the info. First time XM or Sirius radio owner's buying a second satellite radio are the ones usually oblivious to the combing of accounts thing. XM and Sirius are jointly owned. Wish you could combine Sirius accounts with existing XM accounts or vice versa but you cannot.

Ya it is like they keep it a secret or something.

Well, yeah.

XM/Sirius is pretty much a sinking ship, why would they want to make any less money? :p

How do you figure it is a sinking ship? XM was the one that was losing sirius is still expanding with even newer stuff.

I knew this the first time I called XM. They asked me if I had any other units I would like to add to the account for a nice savings. They told me I would save, it must be who you talk to over at XM.
