You Can Now Remove Credit Cards!

By | March 19, 2009 | DLC, Xbox 360 |

So you see an arcade game whose trial has you addicted to the game, and you want to buy it right away. (cough-Peggle)  However, you don’t have enough Microsoft Points to buy it right away.  It’s late and going to the store would require you to wait until the next day, and quite frankly, you just can’t wait.  You then decide to add your credit card to your account so you can buy the Microsoft Points via the Xbox Live Marketplace.  Once purchased, you want to remove your credit card from your account just to be safe.

Herein was the hitch: removing a credit card used to be significantly harder than adding it.  You used to have to call Xbox Support at 1-800-4MY-XBOX and waste a fair bit of your time on the phone with something that is actually quite trivial.

But now, according the Unscripted360, you can remove credit cards from your account on your own! Finally! To get there go to the My Xbox section on Xbox.com, click Manage Profile, click Manage Payment Options, find the credit card and click Remove!  It’s so easy now!

    "IF" this is true, I am super excited for this. I have had a hell of a time with 5 different credit cards on my account trying to remove them. It's a much needed part of customer service and well overdue. I had a cancelled credit card get charged 50 bux after my gold account went out last year and bouncing an account that should have never been activated in the first place. I ended up with fees in excess of 130 dollars because of this. I'm so glad they finally solved this tricky system the had implemented before.

      Wow…that really sucks… I'm glad I got my 2 taken off without stupid charges…but then again, I always made it a point to stop the automatic renewal once i had bought a 1 year gold on my account. Now I only do it through pre-paid cards.

        Well thanks for the post. I doubt I would have ever known if it wasn't for it. Prepaid cards are the way to go.
