    require password for purchases?


    Is there a way to leave my payment option in there, but require the password to be typed in when a purchase is made from my xbox 360? I really don't want my kids buying stuff without my knowledge.

    Thanks.

    :)

    You don't need a credit card to play online with the Xbox 360 either.

    Just purchase a pre-paid card from a brick and mortar store with cash, enter the code on your 360 and then you have Gold time with no credit card used.

    Here's how to remove a payment option from your Xbox Live account by using your Xbox 360 console. .

    Sign in using your Xbox Live gamertag.

    Go to settings and then Account.

    Select Manage Payment Options.

    Select Remove Payment Option.

    Select the payment option you want to remove.

    Remember that if the account has automatic renewal set to ON, then you'll need to turn that off before you can remove the credit card. You can find out how to do that behind the link Go
    to My Account to cancel a membership or an auto renewal.

    I'm totally upset at this point. I've been trying for almost 3 WEEKS now to get the credit card information removed. I chatted with a REP for almost 2 hours, and then spoke with her on the phone for over another hour. They had to do some refunds and then
    I would be called back within 24 hours to get the credit card information removed. It's now been almost 2 weeks since I talked to her. I contacted another rep today through Chat. She says she will call me back in 24-48 hours. I'm about to go ballistic.
    Wipe the XBOX clean and get rid of it and just get him a PS3. At least with they don't require a credit card to play games on line.

    I am really REALLY upset.

    There is no way to password protect just purchases.

    You can create a child account, where it needs the parents permission to do buy anything.

    If the age of the account is under 18 and there are options for parental settings, then it's a child account.

    Usually you can but sometimes It might not work. If the card can't be removed just give xbox support a call and they can remove it on there end.

    As far as I know the rep is wrong. There is no way to password protect purchases.

    Surely the answer is to let your son have his own account and not to put any payment methods on it. No payment method equals no way to buy anything.

    If you can't trust him to not go on your account then password protect it and he'll be unable to buy anything their either.

    The best place to put your suggestion is on feedback.xbox.com. You have a chance of Microsoft seeing it on there.

    What you mention only happened if you had automatic renewal on, as for automatic renewal to happen you needed a payment method. Turn off auto renewal and you could remove the card no problem.

    At least that's how its worked for me as long as I've had a 360.
