Xbox live renewal

okay, the thing is that my gold is about to expire, but i got a discount, apparently, of 33 percent off in my next 12 month purchase, so then i went to the store and bought some gift cards to buy it, and it was all nice and dandy until the system is asking
me "how do you want to pay the rest?" even tho i have more than enough money to pay for it in my account, i guess that it wants me to link my debit card to the damn thing, even though i don't want to, is there anything I can do about this? I fear that if i
do link my card to my account it's going to use the money off of it instead of the account's balance.

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

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.

Hi ToscoFarrax!

To clarify, you can purchase an Xbox Live Gold membership with your Microsoft account balance, but it would still be required to have a different payment option on file for your account as a backup. If you

add a payment option online, are you able to complete the purchase using only your Microsoft account balance after that?
