    Credit card not an option when my kid wants to buy something


    previously i had my credit card attached as a patment option on my kids account and child permission selected so that when they do try to buy the need my permission. That was simple and menat that if it was only for example £1 or £3 it would be possible.
    Now when i het asked for permission i have to add money to his account and the minimum is £10. Is there a bug that is stopping this process now or has microsoft deliberately ripping off their customers by not allowing a child to use my credit card when permissions
    are on????

    very frustrating and not very helpful towards parents!

    :)

    Hello Wisky,

    We recommend going and checking privacy settings. Make sure that something wasn't changed. If you haven't had a passkey set up it is possible someone changed the privacy settings. Also, watch how they purchase an item, if they are hitting change then selecting
    use a code this will prompt you to purchase currency instead of using the card.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    Hello Wisky,

    Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. Is the payment instrument still on the account? If it has been removed then you would not get option to use the card. You can log on to
    account website and check payment options. If it has been removed, you can add the card back on the account.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    HI there,

    I understand your frustration regarding this issue. However, i personally think its a good way of keeping control over your children's spending. I've seen a few posts when the child has racked up a large amount of money on the parents bank account.

    Thanks ive had a look and this might be a workaround although it is not how i had it set up before. This looks like it is not a parental control but just an extra step for an account, i will try it anyway.

    The control os still there if you read my post, the problem is that the control osnt being used as it was in the past, the system is defaulting to add money instead of ising the credit card on the account.
