Does Xbox Live Gold make the charge for the renewal in advance?

So today I got charged 89MXN on my card. Ive been trying to find where this payment is coming from. It just shows a payment was done on the internet. And, it happens that this is the exact price for the Monthly GOLD subscription, but my account shows
that the due date to renew is on 09-19 (one week from now). My question is, does Xbox charge for the renewal a week before it is actually due? Or probably I am being charged for something else around the web?

Hello

Since you have a creditcard attached I assume you have auto renewal which charges you every month. In order to make it charge your other card you'll first need to cancel your auto renewal.

How to Cancel Your Xbox Subscription

After you've done that you can then subscribe again for Xbox Live Gold using your new creditcard

 

How to Renew your Xbox LIVE Gold Membership

Overview of Xbox LIVE Renewal

When your current Xbox LIVE Gold Membership is about to run out, you will get a renewal message on your screen.

• Month-to-month membership- Notification comes 15 days in advance
• 3 or 12 month membership- Notification comes 30 days in advance

Xbox LIVE membership can be renewed using a credit card, a debit card, or a Prepaid Gold Membership Card.

If your automatic membership renewal (auto renewal) is set to off, you can purchase a new subscription or use a prepaid membership card to renew your Xbox LIVE Gold Membership.

Renew with a payment option by purchasing a new membership:

1) Use your Xbox LIVE gamertag to sign in.

2) Under Settings, select Account.

3) Proceed to Your Memberships, and select the membership that you currently have (for example Xbox LIVE Gold)

4) Select Modify Membership and you will be presented with a list of renewal options. If you are on an Xbox LIVE Free Membership, you can choose to upgrade to Gold Membership.

5) Select a membership option, then Confirm Purchase.

Once you have confirmed your purchase, the following will happen:

• The payment option you are using will be charged immediately.
• The time subscription plan you have just purchased will be added to your remaining subscription time.
• Your Xbox LIVE Gold Membership will be activated and auto renewal turned on.

Take note:

If you use a credit card as your payment option, you cannot remove it on file until your current membership expires.

There is a procedure you can follow to add or change your Xbox LIVE payment option.

Renew with a prepaid membership card

It is possible to renew your Xbox LIVE membership using a Prepaid Microsoft Gold Membership Card. This card is available at retail locations.

If you choose to redeem a prepaid Xbox LIVE membership code, you will be added time to your existing Xbox LIVE membership, while your renewal settings will remain unchanged.

How to turn on auto renewal (for existing membership):

If you are already on Xbox LIVE Gold of Family Pack membership and you want to turn on auto renewal without purchasing new membership, you should contact Xbox Support.

I will try, but getting in contact through support in my country is kind of difficult. I will prefer to do that if I cant find my answer first.

 

Does anyone experience this? Or is it only me? I need a fast reply in case Xbox double charges me...

 

Okay, I have found that this charge WAS from Microsoft for a Xbox Live Gold 1 Month Subscription. I still wonder why Microsoft did this charge a whole week earlier than it should've. Anyway, I have this figured out. Thanks anyway
