Payment Option w/Children

My son wishes to puchase a pre-order for State of Decay 2, but despite allowances on his account restrictions it still asks me for permission. Furthermore when I try to allow him to make the puchase it tries to charge from a secondary source and not from
his Microsoft Account balance. There is no option to do so in the payment options menu when I click allow.

Any help would be appreaciated. Thank you.

How to Manage your Xbox LIVE payment options

Overview

You can choose to use more than one payment method for your Xbox LIVE account. The payment options include credit cards and PayPal accounts. You can use these payment options to buy items from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

The 2-year Xbox LIVE Gold Contract uses only credit cards as the payment option. The other payment options like Debit Cards, Prepaid cards and PayPal are not valid for this subscription. However, you can change your payment to another credit card.

If it is before the end of the two years and there is no credit card associated with your account, it is assumed you have terminated the subscription, and you will be charged an Early Termination Fee and any applicable taxes.

It is easy to edit your payment options on your console or at Xbox.com

Hi there!

Thank you for reaching out to us with this issue. We understand your frustration. This is technically a preorder, but preorders have access early so you would need to have the tax included as it will be automatically charged to the account. Having the appropriate
amount available is crucial and making sure that it's preloaded to the correct account. Thank you.
