Xbox Live Gold Subscription Glitch

In June of this year I bought a one month subscription off of Xbox Live and it still has not expired. It still remains a gold subscription, but I do not even pay for the extra months. I don't know why I keep getting extra months when I only paid for one in the first place.

You should tell MS this, you could get in some serious trouble if they find out about it by themself.

How is it my fault for their fault? Literally, if they screwed up I can just point out that I had nothing to do with this situation. That really isn't considered lying, because I don't have an idea of what's going on here. I better go check the credit card bills right now, and then I'll decide what to do.

If you buy 5 apples from a grocery, and the clerk only charges you for 4 -- you're not stealing one apple.

But yeah, I agree to check your statement and see if they are charging a monthly subscription on your account. Even if it's not there, they may have the power to retroactively charge you for the service they provided. Really no clue ...

I'm going to be seriously ticked off if I get my bill saying that I've been paying for more than three months worth of Xbox Live, when I only wanted one month to start with.

if you put the credit card on your account your getting charged. and if you used a card and didnt get charged yet, well then you will be whether you like it or not. sorry.

I don't buy my LIVE time with credit card, only LIVE cards. I recommend you all do the same. I do buy my Microsoft Points with my credit card though.

Nobodies going to die if he gets free live, your analogy fails. Microsoft messed up, they should pay. It's not like thay can't afford it.

I agree that they'll retroactively charge him (like I mentioned before), but honestly, they shouldn't.

You may think you aren't paying anything for the extra months but if you bought the 1 month gold membership from Xbox Live you have bought yourself into a contract where they charge you monthly for your gold subscription until you cancel it, money could be going out of your account every month.

This is the truth ^^^^. You're on auto renewal my friend. It happened to me, I only just got out of it a week ago. When you purchase online, they put you down as renewing monthly. They're just taking your money every month.

You are taking advantage of the situation, wether you caused it or not.

It's not my fault, as I've said probably ten times, it's their fault. I wanted just one month of Gold, and they charged me for all of these extra months. Microsoft will do anything to get my cash, and even if that means stealing from one of their customers. I just wanted one, turns out they charged me for more without telling me.

It's not my fault, I'm just going to go and check my credit card bill for this month and get back to you all momentarily.

Did you buy the one month directly off the Xbox? or used a card bought from the store?

If you got it without the card, sadly, you will find the charges on your credit card, unless you had the 'Automatic Renewal' OFF.

Taking advantage of other people = you should be punishedsalxis

Automatic Renewal man. I know, it's a B!

No, you bought one month, yet got load of more ones. You knew it was happening and didn't ract to it. It's like saying it's like saying that it's a banks fault because they wan't to have back those 2 millions dollars you took out while you meant to take out a 100 bucks.

You can't just ignore/ take advantage of the situation and and then blame the rest for noticing it.

So you bought it off Xbox.com? If so you must be using a credit card, you have to make sure you turn off the automatic renewal. Personally I never use credit cards to buy downloadable things on any of my systems. I just go to the store and get the cards there.

it clearly said on one of the screens that you must cancel before the month is over to avoid being charged again.

R_MAHIL

He's right. If you paid with a credit card, you've been automatically charged for each additional month. Don't blame Microsoft for being deceptive. It clearly states that you need to cancel your subscription before the end of the month or your card will be automatically charged.

Well this literally just happened to me with my debit card. I put my debit card in there to pay for it (15 of Sept) and it didn't charge until I switched cards because I didn't really wanna have Microsoft raid my house since my credit is already in the sh***er anyways. lol

pete_merlin

Microsoft cleary states in the fine print, that the subsription will AUTOMATICALLY renew if you don't cancel. so it's not Microsofts fault, it's yours.

To be ethical, tell MS. But you won't get in trouble if they find out.G-U-N-N-3-Y
