Microsoft has taken me € 1.00 from my credit card, why?

I just added a credit card payment method, without making any purchase.

After seeing the message on my smartphone, I immediately removed from my credit card account microsoft.

Microsoft withdrawing money from credit card without buying?

Here are some solutions you can try to resolve the problem

Solution 1: Check your billing address

Confirm that the billing address for your Xbox LIVE account is the same one used by your credit card company.

If the billing address is the same for your Xbox LIVE account and your credit card company, you can try this next solution

Solution 2: Contact your bank or financial institution

Here are the reasons why the Xbox LIVE purchase might have failed:

• Your credit card has not been activated
• You have insufficient funds in your credit card
• Your credit card does not accept online purchases or automatic billing
• The credit card company is blocking your credit card from being used

You should contact your bank or credit card company to confirm that the credit card is active, it has sufficient funds, and it is not being blocked for any reason.

If you have confirmed that all these are in order, try the following solution:

Solution 3: Try your purchase again later

Here are some of the reasons why the Xbox LIVE purchase might be blocked:

• Recent purchase attempts have been declined several times
• You are using the Xbox LIVE account or payment option from an incorrect location
• You may have a non-payment violation on your payment option, so it is being prevented from making new purchases

Whenever there are several purchase failures, it can prevent new transactions from being processed until after a certain period. You should wait and try again after 24-48 hours.

If the problem persists after you have waited 48 hours, try this next solution.

Solution 4: Remove your card and try again

If you receive error 80190864 while trying to purchase a new Xbox LIVE subscription, it means the payment option you are using has a billing decline violation against it, and you can no longer use it to sign up. If the credit card you are using has an unpaid balance for a previous subscription, you will be required to use a new credit card.

Solution 5: Use a prepaid Microsoft Points or Membership card if available

Another option is to buy a prepaid Microsoft Points card from a retail location and use it to make your Xbox LIVE purchases. Not all purchases allow for the use of Microsoft Points or prepaid options. Make sure that the purchase you want to make allows for the use of Microsoft points or prepaid cards.

 

They sometimes take money to verify the card.

Have you checked your microsoft account balance to see if the dollar is there.

 

Just to add, verification charges should be refunded after a couple of days.

 

I think nearly all companies do this when you save a credit card to your account without purchasing something at the time of saving it.

 

A similar thing happens with Paypal etc, when you first set up a card on the account. Just for verification and either gets refunded or deducted from a first payment.
