Easier way to cancel you Live Account Subscription

[Darksaviour69]

Edit: Seems this method only works in the US, If you are in the UK ring MS on 0800 587 1102 to cancel

pibs (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=119117) has posted on our forums a method to easily cancel your Credit Cards off you Xbox live account, instead of having to ring their hot line.


This is currently the only way I know possible besides having to wait 45 minutes(including the 30 day cancellation time required) on the phone to remove your credit card info off the live service.

1. go to paypal and install the paypal one time use credit card plugin
2. go to http://www.billing.microsoft.com
3. generate a one time use credit card number from the paypal plugin and save. (you can even have it fill everything out for you)
4. log into paypal and remove the credit card number from your list of generated cards.

Simple. all in all takes like 5 min. a lot better than trying to find bogus cards because the address will still be tied to your real one.. this way it still get's validated by MS. When you remove the card from paypal all will be complete.

And remember, don't ever give MS your credit card info again

Why didn't MS create an easy cancel method?

All credit should go to magnetik over at xbox-scene.com (http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=645006&pid=4244231&st=15&#entry4244231)
I just found his post through countless google searches and thought I might share it with DCEmu users :)

You can also try the editing the information like so

But it didn't work for me. It won't actually remove the information but just stop the billing.
