How to Renew your Xbox LIVE Gold Membership

Overview of Xbox LIVE Renewal

When your current Xbox LIVE Gold Membership is about to run out, you will get a renewal message on your screen.

Month-to-month membership- Notification comes 15 days in advance

3 or 12 month membership- Notification comes 30 days in advance

Xbox LIVE membership can be renewed using a credit card, a debit card, or a Prepaid Gold Membership Card.

If your automatic membership renewal (auto renewal) is set to off, you can purchase a new subscription or use a prepaid membership card to renew your Xbox LIVE Gold Membership.

Renew with a payment option by purchasing a new membership:

Steps to Follow

1) Use your Xbox LIVE gamertag to sign in.

2) Under Settings, select Account.

3) Proceed to Your Memberships, and select the membership that you currently have (for example Xbox LIVE Gold)

4) Select Modify Membership and you will be presented with a list of renewal options. If you are on an Xbox LIVE Free Membership, you can choose to upgrade to Gold Membership.

5) Select a membership option, then Confirm Purchase.

Once you have confirmed your purchase, the following will happen:

The payment option you are using will be charged immediately.

The time subscription plan you have just purchased will be added to your remaining subscription time.

Your Xbox LIVE Gold Membership will be activated and auto renewal turned on.

Take note:

If you use a credit card as your payment option, you cannot remove it on file until your current membership expires.

There is a procedure you can follow to add or change your Xbox LIVE payment option.

Renew with a prepaid membership card

It is possible to renew your Xbox LIVE membership using a Prepaid Microsoft Gold Membership Card. This card is available at retail locations.

If you choose to redeem a prepaid Xbox LIVE membership code, you will be added time to your existing Xbox LIVE membership, while your renewal settings will remain unchanged.

How to turn on auto renewal (for existing membership):

But... using a prepaid card to add money to the microsoft account and then pay with that? Not the prepaid cards of "12 Month Xbox Live Gold Membership", I want to use the ones that add money like "Xbox Live $50 Card"

Sign in to Xbox LIVE with the account for which you want to use the prepaid code.

Press the Guide button on the controller.

Go to Games & Apps and select Redeem Code.

Enter the 25-character prepaid code and select Done.

When prompted, click Yes to confirm the redemption.

Here is what happens to your account when you redeem different types of prepaid codes:

Xbox 360 Entertainment For All Plan: You cannot “stack” or combine prepaid subscriptions during the life of the contract.

Xbox LIVE Gold Membership: An Xbox LIVE Gold Membership is added to your account, or an existing membership is extended.

Microsoft Points: Microsoft Points are added to your account.

Xbox LIVE Marketplace content: The content is added to your account and begins downloading.

Sorry but Xbox currency cannot be used to purchase a Live membership. You can only use a credit card, paypal or purchase a prepaid membership card to do this.

onyxishere

You're absolutely right:

"Prepaid codes can be used to extend an Xbox Live subscriptions or for games, entertainment, and other special offers."

Note the word PREPAID though. Prepaid suggests that the code has already been fully paid for. A prepaid subscription code (Gold, Season Pass, etc), a prepaid game (some are out there) or other prepaid offers.

A currency code is not a prepaid code. Currency is an amount of money that you purchase a code for so you can apply it to your account so you can easily purchase games/dlc for the account. There is currently no way to purchase a Gold membership with the
currency on your account.

There are also other things on the marketplace that you cannot use currency for such as the EA Access program on the Xbox One. This is due to the fact that those memberships are recurring memberships and the company needs a guarantee that there will be
money on the account when the membership renewal comes due.

since you are silver you will need to buy a prepaid membership card or buy a promotion on the dashboard for xbox live gold
