Try the personalised letter toolSteps to cancel SiriusXM
- Open the app or website where you subscribed and sign in to your account.
- Look for Account, Settings, Membership or Subscription (the exact menu name differs by service).
- Choose Cancel (or Turn off auto-renew) and follow the on-screen prompts. Take screenshots of each screen.
- Save the cancellation confirmation email or screen. Without proof, a refund request is much harder.
- If you were billed through an app store, a mobile or TV provider or another partner, cancel there too. Cancelling in the app alone may not stop the charge.
These steps are generic guidance and are marked verify: SiriusXM's screens and policies can change.
Tips and common pitfalls
- Avoid: Cancelling in the app but still being billed through an app store or partner
- Avoid: Cancelling on the renewal date itself
- Avoid: Screenshots missing, so you cannot prove you cancelled
- Avoid: Free trial end date forgotten

Deadlines to keep
- Send your cancellation: Before the next renewal date (note free-trial end dates)
- First follow-up: 7 days after your written request with no reply (our suggestion, not a legal rule)
- Escalate: About 14 days after your first written request, move to the next step: Card issuer dispute (chargeback)
- Card or bank dispute: As soon as an unauthorised or post-cancellation charge appears; issuers set their own time limits (check yours) [VERIFY]
- Check statements: For the next two billing cycles after cancelling
These are our recommendations, not legal deadlines.
