【2020.10 Update】Just when everyone thought Befrugal/SiriusXM was going to stiff people, Befrugal has recently started emailing users that their cash back has posted! If you still haven’t received your cash back, contact Befrugal first. If they still won’t honor it, file a complaint with the BBB—Befrugal is one of the few merchants that actually responds to BBB complaints. HT: WeChat readers Kevin, Daaaaani

【Update】This amazing deal is dead. Congrats to those who got it. If you missed it, you can still look for SiriusXM or other streaming deals through Shopping Portal or Drop. For more information, see:
About this deal
If you go through cash back site Befrugal and subscribe to a 6-month SiriusXM membership ($69), you can get $70 cash back. On top of that, you also get a free Google Nest Hub. If you have an AMEX Platinum, you may also be eligible for the new $20 streaming credit benefit. If everything tracks properly, this is a very worthwhile deal.
One thing to note: this promotion requires you to activate SiriusXM service. If you have a car, it will usually support SiriusXM. You can first check whether your car is eligible:
- It’s best to check using your VIN so you can confirm for sure.
However, canceling SiriusXM requires a phone call, which is pretty annoying.
Steps
- Sign up for Befrugal (currently with a $10 signup bonus)
- Find the merchant SiriusXM
- Select Google Nest + 6mo SiriusXM Only $69 w/ Select Subscription, then click through to the offer page.
- Complete payment. If you have an AMEX Platinum card, purchases at SiriusXM may trigger the May $20 credit for the new benefit (AMEX New Benefit Guide).
- Activate your SiriusXM service; you’ll need to do this in your car by following the steps.
- After activation, you should be able to redeem the Google Nest Hub and receive the $70 Befrugal cash back.

Canceling SiriusXM
When you get close to the six-month mark, the best option is to call and cancel SiriusXM auto-renew.
Things to keep in mind
- If you cancel within the 6-month period, there will be a $69 charge. After that, the subscription will charge and renew monthly at the then-current monthly subscription price.
