How do I cancel the "free trial" of the premier edition before I start getting charged for it

Any paid subscriptions on your Microsoft account would be managed here:
https://account.microsoft.com/services

You will only be charged if you do not cancel after the free trial ends. So if you signed up on the 17th and cancel on the 16th of next month, you will NOT get charged. Very normal practice when offering a free trial.

So...has anyone else noticed the changes Microsoft have made since the updates in regards to first-time gamertags receiving a 1-month free trial of Xbox Live before ever purchasing Gold?

Unless I am mistaken or somehow misunderstood how things work now, in order for anyone to get that free 1-month trial, you have to give them a credit card number to put on file, such that upon the 1-month trial Gold membership being used up, Microsoft (you
guessed it) will automatically start charging your credit card for additional months.

What are your individual feelings on this?

[/quote]been like that since last summer I tried a gamer tag That I was thinking about trying out since I got a new copy of BF along with a new MP online pass that I didn't even need, yeah you need a credit card to start your one month FREE trial, and YOU
have three separate shots, BUT I cancelled mine out before It started to charge me. Works just like the nextflix one month free promo, IF you don't cancel before the trial is up IT will start charging you.

I don't get what is wrong with this. If Microsoft gets you with this, it is no one else's fault but your own. You were in no way tricked or played. And it is in no way shady or lowly of Microsoft. I mean come on...Netflix does the
EXACT same thing. I just signed up for Netflix two days ago. I did the one month free trial. It asks for my credit card information. I put it in. It tells me that I can cancel the one month trial
at any time during the free trial (just like you can do with the Xbox Live free trial), but if I do not do that by the end of the trial, I will be charged $8 for the next month of service. People need to learn to read before just pressing A over and over again
to quickly advance and get started.
