ooo ok...man i was hoping for someone to give me some assurance of safety...so is there any way i can buy the gold membership on xboxlive with the credit card and then delete the information
People can't just magically "hack" your account information. The people who had their accounts stolen, had them stolen in the usual way... they gave out their information somewhere, like on a website or in an email, their friends knew their info and passed it on to other people, they had a keylogger on their computer, or someone managed to get the password to their email because their password was too short or obvious. If someone does get your account somehow, they cannot steal your credit card info as that is not displayed, they can only buy MS points, and I believe you can cancel the transaction by talking to your credit card company.
Yes... Xbox Live is safe for credit cards... some people are just scared (understandably) giving their information to anyone, including Microsoft. Kind of ironic if they still use them at stores, but whatever. Using your credit card on XBL is no different then using it at a Walmart or on Amazon.com.

the gamercard showing your gamertag, games played, and achievements? you can get it from xbox.com, but there are also plenty of other sites that have different looking gamer cards. mygamercard.net
You almost certainly have fraud protection with your credit card company and anyone who thinks they're cool enough to hack MS let them. I've been running a credit card membership since launch. No problems. Plus whenever you suddenly need MSPOINTS you can order them instantly and buy whatever expansion/arcade game you need. You dont have to run out to a store to buy a card. XBOX live will renew automatically every year so you won't have worry about that either.
I've had the same Xbox live account long before the 360 even came out and it has been on the same credit card all this time. It's safe. Just don't be stupid with your account.
I'm using my fathers creditcard. The first time I used it i bought 2100 MS points, they called my father up to make sure the transaction was ok and not made my someone who stole his creditcard., cause its not common for a 50 year old man to buy ms points. YES its safe.
its safe to buy with credit cards. the only reason that they get hacked is because they give thier info to somebody else or they get a keylogger on thier computer they go to xbox.com put in thier info get hacked that way.
from what i noe once you put you credit card info on 4 the first tim eit stays there and theres no way to delet it so its always avalible there to use whenever. good and a bad thing.GOOD cause you dont have to put your info again and again BAD cause if you live wit any1 else and they play xbox they can buy the micro poiints and use it to get w.e. so it all depends on how you look at it.-gl3nys
