Waaay back you could, then they removed the option so you had to call them. So just letting people know it's back

It's about bloody time.

There was a thread on this a few weeks ago - good to let people know who dont though/

aah love this so much, I buy gold when I get bored of PC gaming sometimes so this is awesome for me [and about time to]

FINALLY!!!!

This is one of the reasons I stopped purchasing XBL, such a waste of my time having to spend 20m on the phone cancelling something that you could do on their website.

May just get my sub again when the deals are back.

Cheers for posting this link, whilst I'm sure there are plenty who did know this could be done, I was not one of them.

Done, that was a huge scam. I've heard stories about them charging it to a new card if the one they have is expired. Thanks

Sweet

Flippin Nora. There is something like a 50% gold offer on the dash atm but because I didn't want to put my CC details in (because of autorenewal), I had to pay more at Amazon for a code card.

On a side note, whats the cheapest place to get Xbox gold subs, looking at 1 month, 3 months or 12 months. Whichever looks the best deal

"stories" is probably the right word.

whiskycycle · 14 Aug 2011 at 22:16

They're not stories.... they renewed mine on an expired card. Twice! First time I was on honeymoon for three weeks and couldn't sort, second time I was in India for work. Forgot to chase up when back.

Payment bounces around for a few weeks, you get several emails to say what's happening, then it eventually ends up being pushed through by the card provider (well it did for me).

Now binned the auto renewal, thankfully.

I can't see where? It says ring?

biron_w · 15 Aug 2011 at 08:36

I'm glad you can turn it off this way now. I'm going to wait closer to when mine expires(sept 2012) just in case they try and flog me a years membership for cheap

Woot, mine is up next week and going to let it not renew, it was part of the 40% off last year on the dash which made it auto renew.

Ooh, I'd forgotten about that. I can finally prise my credit card details from Microsoft's mucky grip next week.
