    Atempting to purchase game requires unnecassary addition of new payment method


    Hello im tying to download dungeon seige 3 since its free at the moment from the xbox website since i currently do not have a working 360. Although whenever i try to download it requires me to add a payment method for a free game which would require me to
    add a credit card which is a problem since i only use prepaid cards. I was hopping there is a permanant solution to this because i dont want to run into this again every time i want to get a backwards compatible game.

    :)

    Xbox live rewards - Microsoft/ Xbox live credit

    Hello o0AlphaTaylor0o,

    Currently, only one offer requires a specific method of payment to complete, which is the First Time Purchase offer. That offer requires you to make your first purchase using your Microsoft Account as the payment method. Otherwise, payment method is not
    a factor, although you must make the payment in your Rewards Account's regional currency (GBP).

    Not able to buy 360 'Games with Gold' games

    Brammster,

    The website requires payment method as it is a marketplace. Although the games are FREE, the store allows us to "purchase" them at a price of $0.00. Doing so means we need a payment method on file to "purchase" these $0.00 games. The only way to bypass having
    a payment method registered is to download them straight from an Xbox 360 console.

    Can't download free Game without Payment Method and cant add PayPal, please help!

    Download it from the console and you won't need a payment method.

    The website has not been updated to work with the new currency system yet. So it requires a payment method to be on file in order to make purchases, even if it's free.

    Xbox Game Pass ultimate

    Actually you can purchase a subscription with your Microsoft account balance, but since it starts a recurring subscription it requires an additional payment method to prove you can make the next payment, even if you plan on turning off auto-renewal. If
    you have enough funds in your account for 2 payments, it may let you make the purchase.

    Removed Credit card details

    LIVE Gold subscriptions purchased on the console require the payment method to remain on file for the duration of the subscription. It might be possible that the person you talked to thought you wanted to cancel your subscription in addition to removing
    your payment method. In any event, you'd have to call Phone Support back to get a refund of some kind. Sorry for the confusion!

    Games with Gold payment options???

    Purchase it on the console. The website has not been updated to work with the new currency system yet so it requires a payment option to be on file, even if the content is free. If you purchase it on the console, it won't ask for a payment method.
