re: XBL Subscriptions & Microsoft Points - Cheapest Prices.

live-codes are no longer accepting payments via maestro and they dont accept paypal, which leaves credit card (which I dont have) and solo?

Yep, google didnt even tell us they was removing it. We are in the process of adding a new payment gateway that do accept Maestro but this isn't a instant process

re: XBL Subscriptions & Microsoft Points - Cheapest Prices.

Why do the 12+1 live cards cost more than the 12 month ones + 1/12 of their cost?

On cheapxboxlivecodes for example 12 months is £25.99 = £2.17 per month
So for 13 months surely it should be no more than £25.99 + £2.17 ie £28.16 but in fact it is £28.99.

The figures are different but its the same on any of the other sites i have looked at. That is the 13th month seems to be more expensive than the first 12.

I know we're only talking about a few pennies but it just seemed rather odd to me.

Anyway, have ordered a 12 month card and hopefully will get the number sooner rather than later

I think people increased their prices on 12+1 because they were coming to an end. I'm surprised you can still buy them these days, must be old stock as Microsoft stopped making them months back.

Not yet JM - order got cancelled. I had never used paypal before so i didn't have a paypal account. I got an email from cheapxboxlivecodes saying they only accepted verified paypal accounts for payment (despite it not saying this on the website and them accepting other forms of payment through the site!)
So i am currently setting up a paypal account - waiting for them to make deposits in my bank account for the confirmation process.

JM, i'll let you know. £25.99 is a really good price - probably wouldn't bother otherwise but for that price it is worth it

Got it all sorted now. Had to set up a paypal account - you need to wait for paypal to post a couple of small deposits in your bank account to confirm you are the account holder - took 4 working days to show up in mine.

Once the paypal account was set up i reordered using that and got my code in just under 2 hours. Some people have got theirs within minutes. I guess it just depends on how quickly the order is processed. The site says most codes are emailed within 1-3 hours and "guarantees" delivery within 24 hours.

Code works fine.

Works out at 7p per/£2.17 per month day so can't really argue with that.

re: XBL Subscriptions & Microsoft Points - Cheapest Prices.

Yeh... still waiting for this business bank account to be complete.. its been 5 weeks now. Totally annoying they ask for 1 thing... then the next week ask for another piece of information. I called them 2 weeks ago and they said i just have to return a declaration form and that was it complete... then they wanted me to pay a cheque in... then this week they want a company letter head!

Will be giving them a harsh call tomorrow...
