[QUOTE="Jaysonguy"][QUOTE="lil_d_mack_314"] I just found this out too. I used a pre payed cred. card, every thing was ok until my bro went out of town on a camping trip. He came back and wasn't able to renew his XBL subscription. Wouldn't even let em revert to silver. His account was suspended :?. Long story short it kept charging the card even tho he wasn't on XBL. it went up to 15.98$. I payed that off so we could continue gaming. I still think it's sneaky that they don't even tell you your account is on automatic renewal.

Wrong
You didn't "just" find that out, it's told to you when you sign up for the service
So yeah, another example of people doing things wrong and then trying to blame others
Wrong? You show YOUR proof it's not set on auto-renewal or it's hinted at when signing up. Defending these kind of malafide, underhanded and outright disgusting way doing business is just sickening.Seriously?
Sure I'll show you
Take a gander....
"b. Payment. When you create a billing account, you enter your payment method. You must be authorized to use the payment method. You authorize us to charge you for the Service and for any paid feature of the Service for which you choose to sign-up or use while this contract is in forceusing your payment method. You will pay all charges in advance. We may charge you a different amount than what you approved. If it is a greater amount, we will tell you the amount and the date of the charge at least 10 days before we make the charge. Also, we may charge you up to the amount you have approved, and notify you in advance of the difference. If your purchase is a subscription, we may bill you for more than one of your prior billing periods together, although we will not bill you more than once in any billing period for each such subscription. Other purchases (such as a one-time download) will be billed when the purchase is made. If we informed you that the Service will be provided indefinitely or automatically renewed, we may automatically renew your Service and charge you for any renewal term at the prices specified in Section8(e). In some cases relating to Service offers available on Xbox 360 consoles, you may have the option to create or renew a subscription with a prepaid card instead of your payment method. Your Service may be cancelled at the end of your subscription term if you do not have a billing account or have not elected to auto-renew your subscription with a charge to your payment method, or you have not entered a prepaid card for purposes of renewing your Service. If you sign up for an Xbox Live Gold Membership on an Xbox 360 console using a prepaid card, your subscription will continue but will downgrade to a free Xbox Live Silver Membership at the end of your pre-paid Gold membership period, regardless of whether you have a billing account . To maintain your Gold membership, you must set your account to automatically renew with a charge to your payment method ,or you must enter a new prepaid card. If you modify your Service from an original Xbox console to an Xbox 360 console, your Service will automatically renew annually at the then-current annual subscription price following the end of your current Service term (regardless of whether that current Service term is an annual or monthly term)."
So if you have Gold you know WHEN YOU SIGN UP that in order to have Gold your account has to be set to renew
That means anyone on a Gold account knows "Hey, I have auto renew on because I'm using a Gold account"
HERE'S THE REST OF THEIR INFO
There is no excuse for you or anyone else not to know this, you can't even sign up for Live until you agree that you've read and understood all the terms.
