Xbox Live Renewing Automatically?

[CarMadMike]

Does XBOX Live Renew itself Automatically?, as i have just got an email from Microsoft confirming I have just Renewed my XBL for a further 12 months, and i sure know i didnt do it, my xbox hasnt been switched on in a month!

Contact MS as soon as possible mate, tell them what happened and they *should* refund you.

 

I also think it's a stupid system.

Didn't know about this. Will be good for me as I don't need to worry about renewing manually!

Microsoft be stealing your monies :p

When you receive the email from MS about your Xbox Live it tells you that it will be renewed automatically anyway. Whatever credit/debit card is registered to your account will have been charged.

I thought the email said something along the lines of it was informing you that an automatic renewal was about to happen in the next few days, so if you don't want to renew it you can cancel it.

 

I had mine a couple of weeks ago ... scanned over it and deleted it so I can't tell you for sure what it said.

They do renew automatically but I'm sure they send you a reminder a month before either via email or on xbl.

If the reminder was on XBL thats why i didnt know about it, i havent been on in a while

I got the email at lunchtime.

 

What happens if the card charged is not valid anymore? Can you and is it easy to change card?

 

I'm guessing I will be notified if the card is invalid as they won't be able to take any money from it.

 

My parents got new ones after having credit card fraud before the summer.

Just log onto xbox.com and go to manage account (iirc) then go to billing options and its all there to be played with. The trouble is you cannot delete a card.

 

I had that problem when I let a mate use mine, we ended up putting his dads on there so to get rid of my card number off it.
