  1. Buying games with shared payment options


    Greetings everyone !

    I have some currency on my microsoft account and I would like to use it along with my credit card to pay for the Halo MC Collection.

    Is that possible or do I have to use only one payment option at a time??

    Thanks !!!

    :)

    Games with gold-add credit card (why?)

    Hello vattacokor, because you are technically "buying" the free game for $0.00 it will require a payment option to process the transaction.

    For more FAQs on Games with Gold check out this Support page.

    Or for assistance in adding a payment option check this

    How to Manage your Xbox LIVE payment options

    Overview

    You can choose to use more than one payment method for your Xbox LIVE account. The payment options include credit cards and PayPal accounts. You can use these payment options to buy items from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

    The 2-year Xbox LIVE Gold Contract uses only credit cards as the payment option. The other payment options like Debit Cards, Prepaid cards and PayPal are not valid for this subscription. However, you can change your payment to another credit card.

    If it is before the end of the two years and there is no credit card associated with your account, it is assumed you have terminated the subscription, and you will be charged an Early Termination Fee and any applicable taxes.

    It is easy to edit your payment options on your console or at Xbox.com

    Steps to Follow

    Add or change a payment option using your console

    1) Use your Xbox LIVE gamertag to Sign in.

    2) Proceed to Settings and then select Account.

    3) Select Manage Payment Options, and then choose either of the following:
    • If you want to add a new credit card, select Add Credit Card.
    • If you want to use your PayPal account on Xbox LIVE, select Add PayPal. You will be required to enter your PayPal username and password. Follow the instructions to add PayPal as a payment option. You cannot use PayPal as a payment option for the 2 year Xbox LIVE Gold Contract. PayPal is not available in all regions.
    4) After making changes to payment options, select Update Payment Option.

    Add or Change a payment option on Xbox.com

    1) Go to My Account.

    2) Select Payments and Billings and click on Manage Payment Options.

    3) You may be required to Sign in using your Microsoft account (email and password).

    4) Proceed to do either of the following:

    If you want to edit a payment option, select Edit.

    If you want to add a payment option, you can do either of the following:
    • Click on Add New Credit Card and enter the credit card information
    • Click on PAY with PayPal and follow the instructions.

    Buying games with shared payment options

    This is working. Did that already by myself. At first the currency on your account will be used and the missing amount will then be taken from your credit card.

    Dont allow to download a gold game- ask for a credit card

    ^^ I think it's the opposite. If you try to "buy" it from the website, it requires a payment option to do so... if you try to "buy" it from your Xbox, it shouldn't ask you for a payment option.

    Also... you could add a CC, download the game, and then remove payment option.

    Download games with gold

    For xbox one games you can buy at anytime with or without a creditcard

    However for 360 Webmarketplace purchases you must have a valid payment option on file for your region

    It does not affect the price it will remain free bit you must have a valid payment option

    Also should be noted that a only the account with actual gold not shared home gold can be usrd to purchase games from games with gold via the 360 Web marketplace

    The only other way is via a 360 console
