    How do I request a refund for a game that is free for live gold but charged?


    I have Xbox Live Gold pass. Yesterday I claimed a game which is provided by Live Gold, but instead it was charged from my credit card.

    Looked into my billing history from account.microsoft.com, but there was no 'refund' button.

    (I launched the game one time and a day already passed)

    I followed every links on Microsoft support pages that include 'refund', but I just circled same links.

    Yeah, this question should be asked directly to the customer service, but I can't find the contact point. What should I do in this situation to get a refund?

    :)

    How do I request a refund for a game that is free for live gold but charged?

    Hi Minseok_Lee,

    Thanks for following up with us in regards to this issue. I'm sorry to hear it's been such a hassle to get the refund process going. The refund request form only works in certain regions. Thus, why it hasn't been properly working for you and we do apologize
    for the inconvenience.

    In this case what would need to be done is for you to contact Live Support. So they can further assist with this billing issue.

    The best way to reach Live Support would be here: https://support.xbox.com/contact-us#0

    Step 1: What can I do for you?----Select Xbox One

    Step 2: Select a category----Select
    My Account

    Step 3 ----Select topic (Ex. System Update)

    Step 4 ----Select "Show contact options"

    Step 5 ----Select request a call from support

    Are you sure you are using the account that has the gold subscription ? Only that account can get the games for free.
    I purchased 1-year subscription of Live Gold and I've been getting games for months. This problem happened only this time.

    You're right.

    I've deleted my suggestion.

    a chargeback will probably cause an dispute with Microsoft and some people mentioned that it can cause a (perma) ban.

    Hi,

    You can also try to do a chargeback directly from the creditcard company.
    DO NOT do a chargeback, go through the refund process.

    Also, what game was it you tried to get? Did you try and get the free game after it expired?
