    No download of monthly game, thanks to payment issues


    I just want to thank Microsoft for their payment policy. I just want to download the FREE monthly game "Beyond Good & Evil HD" an i have to make a payment account. Ok, so it fill out my adress, so far so good. But then Microsoft want my credit card number.
    For what? I dont want to buy something, I just want to download a FREE game. I dont hink about to give my credit card number to Microsoft. I dont want to end up like Sony a few years ago.

    Why do I have to have a payment account for FREE games? This is ***. No download of monthly game, thanks to payment issues :(

    :)

    Why I need to set up payment option to download free games with gold?

    Hello,

    Why I need to set up payment option to download free monthly Games with Gold via XBOX Live website? On XBOX 360 you can download these games without payment option.

    Thanks.

    Cannot add payment option to my account!

    Hi there,

    if the games are available in the Turkish store for xbox they should be available to download.

    No I'm not sure it's related to that, but there are often download issues and payment issues when region of the account and physical regions or payment option regions do not match.

    In order to download the 360 games without having to a add a payment method, you would need to use a 360 console. The 360 store is set up differently than the store on the One/website. The One/website will not recognize your Microsoft account balance as
    a valid payment option for 360 content so you have to have a credit card or Paypal on file in order to purchase 360 content, even if it is free.

    Even if I would be able to delete the information after downloading the game, I wouldnt do it. It´s a principle. I dont know why the programmed it this way.

    But thanks for your reply.

    Edit: by the way: It doesnt show the option of paypal. I only can add credit card.

    For 360 content, yes. As stated above, the store on the One/website does not recognize your Microsoft account balance as a valid oayment option for 360 content.

    Unless you use a 360 console, yes.

    Not exactly

    To buy 360 games you must have a payment option on file to do website purchases

    Even free because they aren't free you arent paying though

    Its considered a 0.00 purchase so in order to buy it you must have a payment option on file
