That is exactly what I had done with my 2008 Silverado and kept XM until I bought my 2014. In this instance I was trying to activate XM, finally caving in to crappy radio reception, which I believe is exactly what XM knows some owners will do. I went round and round with the girl on the phone and even got elevated to a supervisor, but no deal. It was after i mentioned I was a previous long term customer who always got offered a reduced rate, that is when I was told that my current vehicle did not qualify for any deals. In fact one of the first things they asked if the service would be for my 2014 Silverado before they gave me any pricing. I totally agree that it shouldn't matter what vehicle it is for, that is why I think that XM knows about the problem and feels they have us GM owners over a barrel.
