How do I add money to my Xbox account?

I want to know how to put money on my account. I currently have £3.40 on there, and want to add £11.60 so I can sign up to Xbox Live for three months, and use that £3.40 as part of it. My card details are all up to date. A straight link to where I can do
this would be much appreciated.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this post, apologies if it isn't.

Thanks, M

:)

 

How do I add money to my Microsoft Account?

All of the information is correct. Its giving me the option to select a payment option, which has my Microsoft account greyed out, and does nothing when I try and select it. It also has my card as an option, and that's it, other than to manage payment options,
which only let's me edit my card information, and also has my Microsoft Account option greyed out.

I think I should also note that I am doing this on my Xbox, and not online. Though I don't see why there would be a problem if I used one over the other.

what you're looking for is a split transaction. to do it though you must have a card or paypal on the account, click on the item you want to buy and confirm the purchase a message should appear and say "Hey you have X amount on your MSA would you like to
use that first?" yes than it will charge the rest on the card. But I usually prefer using currency anyways since it's a lot easier. Oh and yes do this on the console when you go to buy it.

 

You can not buy gold time using your account balance.

You need to buy gold time either with a credit card or a pre-paid subscription card bought at a retailer.

 

OWEN is correct (thanks dude).

It would be nice to be able to top up membership using the account balance but unfortunately you cannot.

 

Thank you both for your help.

You know, I originally had to buy some points, as I wanted the Red Dead Redemption extra content (in hindsight I should really have bought the game of the year edition). So I dutifully entered my card details, bought the content and had 400 or so points
left over. Then I was informed that the points system was ending, and that my points were being converted back to money (the money I had used to buy them in the first place). Now I apparently only have a set amount of time to use My Money, before it disappears
forever.

I have used a Windows-based PC for eighteen years now, and I have at absolute best a love hate relationship with Microsoft (at absolute best). Their optical USB trackball is a great bit of kit (I have been using the same one for sixteen years now), so obviously
they chose to discontinue it.

Anyway, I am rambling and in danger of ranting. Again, thank you.

 

Only the money that was converted has an expiry date, any credits you add after the conversion do not expire.

 

Thank you for the response.

Again, OWEN is on the ball and is correct. Only the converted money will expire, not any credit you added after that. Don't worry about the ranting, that's all I ever do. I'm fluent in rant-language

Hope you stick around buddy, these forums are an awesome place to meet new folks.

If you have any problems, you are more than free to send me a PM.

Many thanks,

P.s. Red Dead. EPIC game!
