[360] Few LiVE account Q

Not really worth the cost though, just dump the account and start from scratch or stick with the one you have. Well, that's what I'd do. Sheesh, MS really knows how to milk people over everything, don't they?

As for using a Credit Card through the dashboard, from those I have talked with, don't do it. MS makes it easy for billing issues. Can't recall if it's from people stealing the account info, or if it's them charging you regardless if you should be charged or not however. Will need to check online again, but it's more easier and convenient just to order the MS Points card at retail or online though a regular store.

EDIT: Here's an article that basically says why I'd never add a CC myself...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, but that's not the main point I was trying to point out. It's just that except for the convenience of not having to wait for the card to arrive or having to head to the store to buy one, the issues with MS and the credit card, the hassle as it were, is not worth it when one can wait a few days for the card rather than getting the instant gratification of doing so right through the dashboard...

Also, I have heard of billing issues from more than a few and I use a debit card that might not always have enough funds to cover the charge. So, I am not going to take that risk. That said, even if I used a traditional credit card I'd still just stick with buying the cards online. Both those and the XBOX Live cards are cheaper online if one looks around instead of buying directly through MS regardless, and why else would you even need a credit card linked to the account otherwise?



There's nowhere I can't reach.
