Xbox Live Subscriptions and Microsoft Points

"Ditto I can remember seeing it somewhere that you can pay, on Xbox dashboard"

I asked a friend who has it and they said "I did. Had the three month subscription from
November to January, then got the 1 year
subscription. Bought both cards in gamestop and
entered the code on the back of them. Think
about it, how can they sell xbox live subscription
cards that don't work?! It's the only way me and
a few of my friends have ever done it. Don't have
a credit card!"

so i dunno.. i think I'll try it. maybe the mistake was i bought the amount of points worth the cost of the subscription, not the actual xbox live gold membership.

this is the thing i was sure you could do it? it even says you can on the support page http://support.xbox.com/en-GB/billing-and-subscriptions/prepaid-codes/redeem-prepaid-codes

That says you can use prepaid codes to purchase subscriptions, not prepaid points That is true, you can buy 3/12 month subscription code from a shop and it would work fine!

Sometimes when your paying online by currency there's an option under would you like to pay with ms points instead. So maybe going on the Xbox and searching where you could buy xbl gold and see for extra options under /?

Nope, you can't do it! Not for subscriptions anyway!

Those are pre-paid codes not pre-paid points.

Just used cheap xbox live codes for the first time there 38 eurodollaredoos for 14 months... Not to shabby. The scanned picture of the scratched xbox card they send is funny... Code was sent within 5 minutes.

Good service that

See you in 14 months, thread.

You couldn't go far wrong for that price.

It is tops.

Yeah I used said website, bought 1 months XBL. Code in my inbox in less than 10 minutes!

Colemania · 21-07-2012 7:07pm

I just wait for those offers on the dashboard. I got 2 months for €2 recently and now that it's expired, the offer is available again but this time it's 3 months for 14.99. It'll probably change tomorrow or Monday so I'll wait until then. Sometimes there's a 1 month for 1 euro deal too

There was a glitch in these €1 a month deals a good while ago, basically you were able to keep buying them as much as you want. I took advantage of it and got 16 months for €16

.

I could've gotten way more, I could've gone as far as 3 years for €36 but I'm not all that greedy so I stopped at 16 months :pac:

Haha no but it kind of brings me back to the day when I would go to my local shop and buy a few packs of Panini Stickers. Those I spent a fortune on!!!

if I order Live through the Xbox, how do I cancel the auto renew without canceling the current subscription before it expires?

Why would you order from xbox live? This is the most expensive way to get points and gold memberships. From what I remember log onto your xbox account from xbox.com and go to your account settings. There is an option to turn off auto renewals.

As far as I know there is a bloke selling them for 25 on adverts.ie. Thats who I bought my points and 12 month gold membership from.

UberPrinny_Baal · 28-09-2012 11:25am

Check your spam/junk. Sometimes their real email gets lost in there.
