My XBL gold subscription is due to die today. Which is apparently did....then automatically renewed. Here's the part where I might be winning something. The card that is currently tied to my account is not currently active. It was replaced probably 6 months ago when my bank reported to me that Visa had a huge list of card numbers become compromised. Mine was one...so they cancelled the card and sent me a new one right away. Totally new numbers..all that.

Now this card is not really a credit card. Its a debit card so its tied directly to my bank account. So anything I pay for on Live is automatcially deducted from my account via that card.

So what happens if the card they are charging is no longer active? Yet somehow they have successfully charged it...and it hasn't come out of my account?

Did I win?

I really don't want my bank card tied to my account anymore.

Do I leave it alone or should I call microsuck and try to get it fixed? I don't wanna get a mystery bill in the mail or something.

funny, this actually happened to me very recently. I thought I won free LIVES but nay. Soon you will get a couple emails saying they were unable to charge your credit card. Once you pay, it starts as if it was renewed on the date it was supposed to. Mine renews in July, finally paid them in Sept, my account still will be renewed in July

I think the only way to win with your credit card is to cut it up... yer F'd.
