  1. Dont use prepaid codes in the middle of a membership


    Today I discovered even more how not consumer friendly Xbox is. They just care about money.

    So today (February 16th 2021) I decided to add some more prepaid codes to my account. My membership was due to run out on April 29th 2021 so I added 3x3 months codes to add 9 months to my account and was expecting my membership to run till 29th Jan 2022 but when I looked it said 22nd Jan 2022 so 7 days lost. I then upgraded to ultimate and it changed the day to 18th Feb 2022. So in total i added 10 months of membership to my about two months left and lost 10/11 days. I contacted support but they just gave lots of rubbish about the new codes start from day of redeem that how you get to the 22nd Jan 2022 and that on the conversion to ultimate is done on basically months left and not days thats why it moved again. But on the game pass ultimate page it says 'Purchase of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
    automatically upgrades your existing Xbox Live Gold and/or Xbox Game
    Pass (for PC or Console) membership(s) to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at a
    conversion ratio each based on days remaining'


    So I still dont really know why I lost days but I didnt get anywhere with support so not is much is going to change.

    So the basic idea is don't add prepaid card in the middle of a membership and if you want to upgrade to ultimate don't do it in the middle of a membership.

    :)

    I want to cancel my membership.

    yeah unless you have a creditcard on file theyt can remove a creditcard and issue a prepaid code if the membership was purchased with one

    but using a prepaid code for membership which sounds like most likely what you did no

    they will not issue a prepaid code for prepaid code memberships



    if it is a prepaid code membership then there is no real need to cancel the account

    time nor ms points are transferable between account

    Redeemed code to account instead of xbox live

    are you talking about currency codes or membership codes?

    currency codes do not work for memberships as stated on the cards

    only prepaid memberships or creditcards can be used for subscriptions

    need help with xbox gold 1 month

    You're absolutely right:

    "Prepaid codes can be used to extend an Xbox Live subscriptions or for games, entertainment, and other special offers."

    Note the word PREPAID though. Prepaid suggests that the code has already been fully paid for. A prepaid subscription code (Gold, Season Pass, etc), a prepaid game (some are out there) or other prepaid offers.

    A currency code is not a prepaid code. Currency is an amount of money that you purchase a code for so you can apply it to your account so you can easily purchase games/dlc for the account. There is currently no way to purchase a Gold membership with the
    currency on your account.

    There are also other things on the marketplace that you cannot use currency for such as the EA Access program on the Xbox One. This is due to the fact that those memberships are recurring memberships and the company needs a guarantee that there will be
    money on the account when the membership renewal comes due.

    Microsoft Store on Xbox doesn''t work.

    Hi, It won't let you purchase the membership, as it's not possible to purchase a membership with credit/money in your microsoft account. More info on what you can use it for can be found here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/billing/prepaid-codes/types-of-prepaid-codes
