Get three months of SiriusXM’s streaming service plus an Echo Dot for a buck

SiriusXM has grown far beyond its humble origins in satellite radio. You no longer need satellite radio in your car to experience Sirius – now you can access it via a mobile app, a browser and even Alexa or Google Home. SiriusXM is no stranger to making crazy crazy good deals to new subscribers, but there are two great deals in the game at the moment. You can get for a limited time Three months of SiriusXM Essential for $ 1 – and you get a free Echo Dot, also.

You can think of SiriusXM Essential as a kind of Sirius Lite. You can access hundreds (though not all) of your channels and browsers (but not your car radio). It offers ad-free music, news, talk radio, entertainment and more. It’s a good starter plan to see if you want to switch to the larger (and more expensive) Select or All-Access plans. Or it’s just a great way to experience SiriusXM if you don’t plan to include a satellite radio in your car.

Essential typically costs $ 8 a month, which saves you $ 21 over the three months. And you get this third generation Echo Dot for $ 50 for free too.

Are you pretty sure you want to keep SiriusXM for a while and want to get a good price? Or do you want to immediately access the larger library of content and car radio? Good news: The $ 5 a month deal I told you a few months ago is still ongoing. You can Get a full year of SiriusXM Select for $ 60 and get the free Echo Dot, also. And unlike the Essential plan, this one contains Howard Stern.

SiriusXM Select typically costs $ 17 a month, which equates to a saving of $ 144. However, don’t forget to pin $ 50 for the Echo Dot (third generation). So that’s a saving of $ 194. Nevertheless, the dot is discounted so often that one could argue that adding it to the price is not fair. That is up to you. In any case, it is very much.

To take advantage of both offers, you must be a new SiriusXM subscriber.
