Xbox Live Question - Unlimited membership?

Hi everyone,

Just wondering, I know it's not a bad thing but, I paid for a 1 month Xbox Live subscription on December 25 2009 (got it for Christmas) and still I have access to Xbox Live Gold and haven't had any warnings that my subscription is running out so far. Can anyone tell me why this might be?

Thanks

You could have been sold more than a month if you bought a pre-paid card.

Did you pay via credit card?

Check your membership level on Xbox.com, it should tell you the end date:

I remember about two years ago, my one year gold membership was going to expire so I bought a pre-paid card, I put it in after the expiry date and then I find out that it also charged my criedit card, so I have two years of gold. You might of been like me and forgot to turn off the setting where it renews on your credit card.

Yeah, you have to be very careful :( If you have a credit card on file with them that you used to purchase points or live in the past, they will charge that without warning when your pre-paid card expires. You can now cancel auto-renew online though.

Edit: If you mean that you used your card to purchase Xbox live 1month through the console, then yes, it's auto-renew until you cancel it. You should have been able to see the $8 taken off your card per month.

Trust me, Microsoft's not generous enough to give you a constant membership of Xbox LIVE for free. They're either charging you, or the card you added was not a 1 month.gamer082009

If you pay with your credit card it renews. sneaky x-box live:twisted:
