When EXACTLY will my Xbox Live membership auto-renew?

This was my first time buying a membership online (without one of those in-store cards). The only reason I did so was due to the $1 One Month deal they had for some people.
It is set to expire tomorrow, but will it expire as soon as it turns the midnight, or the time when I actually activated it, or at the end of the day? I was wondering because I was interested in quickly grabbing one of June's GOLD games before
my membership expired so when I get another one I can play it. And...I didn't want to have it auto-renew on me, so I was gonna cancel it right after.

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.

Can a Staff or Administrator be able to change my Xbox LIVE Renewal Status please!?

I need to remove my Credit Card details for certain reasons but it says I can't do that until I deactivate Xbox LIVE Auto-Renewal. When I go to Xbox.com/Accounts to deactivate it, I go to the cancel automatic payment button. When I get to the page that tells
me my current Xbox LIVE membership and the On or Off options, it is already saying Off. So why does it then still say that I need to deactivate Auto-Renewal before removing my credit card details? Can a staff or administrator please either remove my Xbox LIVE
membership or cancel the Auto-Renewal on my Xbox LIVE membership please!?

 

You can cancel the auto renew and still have gold till the time expires. Call 800 469-9269 and simply have them turn off what's called auto renewal and they will hut you will still have gold for the time you paid for. No worries
