Buy xbox live points without Paypal account?

    Does anyone know where I could get xbox live points codes sent to me online without needing a paypal account?

    My credit card expired in January and I was just given a new one with the same number but different expiry date and CCV number. When I tried adding the new card Paypal had already flagged the number as rejected and didn't care that the expiry date and CCV number had changed. When I emailed them about it they wanted me to fax them my passport scan or something like that, fúck that.

    Have got by fine so far as a lot of places now let you make a one off payment through paypal without needing an account. Does anyone know a good xbox live points seller that has this?

    Paypal really shoot themselves in the foot sometimes with their silly system, i understand wanting to be secure and all but still!

    In your case you should check out https://www.entropay.com i have used it a few times for flights on ryanair etc (you avoid the card surcharge with it) and its a great service

    But obviously check out if the seller will accept entropay before you transfer money over but they should :)

    Send money directly from your bank account into your Paypal account. Or buy this with your Laser card.

    http://www.live-codes.com/ take paypal and Google checkout, FYI 2100 points are 19.99 in HMV at the minute so a saving you make on the instant delivery sites is minimal.

    Have used entropay before, they charge a fee for putting money on the card. It's fine when you're buying flights off ryanair and avoiding their CC charge, but for anything else it doesn't really make sense.

    Will give live-codes.com a go. It may not be much cheaper but I should get the points soon enough and don't have to bother going out to HMV.

    Actually that site is pretty good, by instant they mean instant. With cheapxboxlivecodes.com I'd be waiting an hour or so for the code to come through.

    SCAM. It asks a question/survey, and when you get the right answer, you need to enter your mobile number to get the download. Unsure if you even get to the download at all. When you enter in your number, you're signed up to a subscription service which costs €10 a week (4*€2.50).

    I'd say any code you generate will be out of date, used, etc, and you'll be €10 out of pocket a week.

    Thanks for the mention djkeogh and the_syco

    For the information of all boardsies who would be new customers: if you pm me from your established boards account once you have placed the order it will greatly speed up security clearance for you. (We have to do a lot of background checks on new customers requesting email dispatch for obvious reasons) :)

    Did you try deleting your old card as a Payment Method first, then adding the new card?
