    Why cant we buy a gold membership with our ms account cash?


    As noted in the subject headline. Seems completly asinine and a complete oversight on Microsofts part considering that we can purchase games and media with said funds. Can I get an official explaination from an actual employee and not from an ambassador
    thanks

    :)

  2. Paypal Doesn't Work On The Aussie Xbox Site

    Not only the Aussies have this problem, we in the Netherlands do too and many more I suppose.

    I did buy a new gold membership with paypal, but still cant buy MS-points

    No she doesn't need her own profile or gold membership, she just signs in as a guest while logged into your account.

    Why cant we buy a gold membership with our ms account cash?

    Its pretty simple first if you read what you are purchasing.

    Its not rocket science

    You are purchasing a subscription

    Which in most languages requires a renewable payment option

    Not to mention on most online services you cant use online currency to buy an subscription so where on the world.would you get that idea ?

    Not to mention its actually in the terms of use

    If yiu want a subscription you need a billing account

    All you need to do is use logic to you need to use a renewable payment option for a subscription if you want to use non subscription your only option is prepaid subscription cards which means you forgo any bonuses and promotions set in the terms and conditions
    of subscriptions like a renewable subscription

    You have always been able to use currency for Dlc and games and media why in the world wouldn't you?

    It says right on the card

    Use for games and Dlc and media

    No subscriptions

    It would be unlogical for not use it for Dlc and games not very smart to use it for a subscription since you would have to use a renewable payment option for it

    Here is a logical question for yiu on what service can you use online currency for a subscription ?

    If you cant answers that why in the world would you think currency would be able to be used for subscriptiojs

    Isnt that silly since the card and all services don't allow it that you think it can magically work?

    Yep.Live is a subscription service & you need a renewable payment source like a credit/debit card for pretty much all subscription services.

    What is illogical is your idea that currency can be used on any service to buy a renewable subscription especially since no one even does it

    Its not an oversight its logic

    Why would you be able to use a non renewable payment option for a subscription service that renews

    When all services have other options including xbox

    You buy prepaid cards if you want non subscriptions

    Or just forgo the promotions which is silly since you save on promotions and get bonuses

    Ngocphi why do you keep replying? is it that you have no life or are you that pathetic of a person. i guess you have reading issues youself considering i asked for an employee response, not some sad forum troll with nothing better to do then comment on forums
    all day. Also I turn off subscripton renewal and use live cards instead. It was an honest question and is a huge oversite on ms part. If they sell imginary digital currancy why not be able to use it to purchase all products and or services that are available

    Yeah but do you understand that ?

    If you have to turn off auttoreneeal that answers your questions

    Its a subscription that has to be turned off

    And *** the forums and other users told you it is correct

    Use logic
