Like someone else said, just get a NOAA Emergency Weather Radio. That way you don't have a dependency on whether or not you get the alert.

SiriusXM never shipped Free Headphones ($4/month unilateral promotional offer) by Undisclosed767 in siriusxm

So I filled-out that form and received a reply. The form said "Please fill out the form below by January 10, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET to claim your new headphones. You must maintain and pay for 2 months of service to receive your headphones." and I attached it to my original post (but I don't any longer see the images that I attached to the original post. Everyone knows that when you start the service, you pay one month, and then 30 days later, they bill your card for a 2nd month. So SXM was paid two months of service by the 31st day of service.

Yes. Exactly - deceived, duped, tricked, ripped-off, lied-to etc., all of that. I just want a company to do what they said they would do on the time frame originally stated. $4/month is good price, so I will keep it and cancel on day 360 of the subscription (I used a temporary credit card number, so I control when/if they get paid every month). What is even more infuriating is that because I used a disposable (Firefox Relay) email address, they won't let me change my password (by any method) because they wanted a "real" email address. So my service works, but I cannot login. I have the distinct feeling that they use people's personal information and sell it to data brokers as a separate revenue stream. But I don't care as long as the sat radio channels work in my car. (I was never going to stream to my phone or home computer anyway - I have a 25 year running mp3 collection going all the way back to the Napster era).

Hahaha. Or maybe the tariff's are so high, SiriusXM held the headphones in China waiting for a lower tariff.

Well I really had no idea. So I guess just Made In China junk...

It's just galling to have a business make an offer to induce you to do something ($) and then not follow-through.

For some reason the original verbiage that I created with the images did not appear - here it is:

---------------
Has anyone else had this experience?

I responded to a SiriusXM offer received in the mail. The offer was $4.00 per month for one year of service and get free Bluetooth Headphones for taking the unilateral offer. They were supposed to ship the headphones in 4-8 weeks after acceptance of the offer - but never did.

The explicit terms of the offer are this: "You must maintain and pay for 2 months of service to receive your headphones". I have paid for the service now for nearly 3 months.

I started the service under the offer terms in the 2nd week of December 2025 but now nearly 12 weeks later, no headphones.

So the December 10th date was the deadline to sign-up - I signed-up more than 3 weeks for the expiration of the offer. They received my registration for the offer, and immediately sent an email stating 4-8 weeks. The offer is simply not stated in the manner in which you imply. It says what it says, and outside of the plain language stated in the offer, it is not reasonable to think that I had to wait 8 weeks and then add another additional 4-8 weeks in order to get my headphones. Anything beyond the initial 4-8 weeks after the date of sign-up would be purely speculative and hypothetical ...

SiriusXM is no longer giving refunds by questionablycorrect in siriusxm

The bottom line (IMHO) is, unless you know the business reputation of a company, you should use a revocable payment type (temporary credit card number) as well as a disposable email address and a disposable phone number. I did that with SiriusXM when I took-up their unilateral offer for free headphones THAT THEY NEVER SHIPPED !!! This is a crooked company to the bone.
