There are two kinds of kids in college. There's the kind who doesn't worry about money — and then there's the rest of us. For the latter, SiriusXM has rolled out an excellent new $4-a-month student plan that gets you Sirius' $13 plan for exactly $9 less.
What's that mean, exactly? It's basically the SiriusXM Premier plan. That gets you SiriusXM everywhere but the car. Want to listen on your phone? Do it. At home? Sure thing. Online — which, uh, is also at home or on your phone or wherever? Yep. You'll also get all that music without advertising. And you'll be able to skip songs on the Xtra channels. Plus you'll also have access to all the news, talk, sports and entertainment channels SiriusXM can throw at you.
Need more? OK. How about Howard Stern? And thousands of shows available on demand. Plus SiriusXM Video. And so much more.
The only catch? You actually have to be a college student to take advantage of it. A Title IV-accredited school, at that. And they're going to check, using the SheerID system.
What's that mean? It means this:
SheerID will collect some basic personal information to confirm your eligibility for the offer. We may also ask you to upload some documentation that substantiates your status and eligibility.
To ensure a speedy and successful verification, please pay attention to how you enter your information on the form so that it will match what is seen on the document(s). For example, enter your first and last name on the form as it appears on your school document(s).
So, yeah. It's just one more way for you to be a mooch during what's left of the best years of your life.
