wow, MS are a bunch of ********

i usually use those 12 month card things but i bought 3 months on the console 3 months ago just cause i... (not important)

the credit card i used no longer works (which is why i used it, im not gonna charge 15 every 3 months automatically when i can get it cheaper and with my consent)

and now i can no longer sign in AT ALL till i give em a new card so they can bill me for 3 more months

no just be a silver member option

no stop 3month 15$ reoccuring option

give us a credit card, no? signing out of profile.

i cant even sign into xbox.com

i understand them stop letting me play online and all that

but i cant even play single player now

what are ur thoughts? what do you think i should do?

im gonna get a 12 month thing in a couple of days, i dont really care to much that my xbox is (kinda) unplayable, just WHY it is.

Its because when you use a card they automatically try and bill you again once your gold expires. When they do this they keep trying to bill you, but at the same time they continue to give you gold for a grace period of a few months. You have to call Xbox and pay them for the gold that you used and then they will release the account.

Always call them and tell them to take your card off the list, so they dont try and auto bill. They did the same to me and I use pre-paid cards on Live and when they tried to bill me, they couldnt.

That happened to me too, i called them and they told me because i didnt make the payments my gamertag was taken off record, so i told them to recover my gamertag then i was able to sign in and play single palyer until i had another credit card to buy live with. but yea give them a call n argue with them

I have a question. If I use a Gold membership of 12 months but I don't renew it(using the cards) will this same thing happen to me?

And OP you just proved that MS's entire Gold service is a money grabber.

Really that's why I don't care for Gold, the system needs some work at least to make subscription based fees, and the inability to play online,clear to consumers, and overall revamp the marketing raits of processing these transactions over Live service. imo it's played decisively, where consumers feel forced to pay for Gold this, this, this, and this way.

Its nothing a simple phone call can't fix anyways, you don't have to make a thread about it. Just for next time.

never heard of this... eh another person jumping ship to ps3 because they have no patience... shame. this is why the ps3 has recieved a sales jump... not because its good... because 360 owners are getting pissed.
