Xbox.com No Longer Allows Purchases Without a Credit Card // LevelSave

It looks like Microsoft has removed the ability to purchase games on Xbox.com without having a credit card added to the account. While previously those attempting to purchase even free items would be able to go through with the purchase, Xbox.com now prompts users to change their payment method. If you don't have any credit cards or PayPal accounts on file, they can't make the purchase. This also will disallow members to purchase items using purchased Microsoft points on Xbox.com to purchase items, free or not.

Since MS points are no longer the basis for transactions, how does the author of this article expect future purchases to be made -- if not a credit card, (or a Virtual VISA debit card, or Paypal account)?

The title is misleading because transactions without regular credit cards ARE allowed.
Personally i use Virtual VISA debit (which acts like a credit card for online transactions but is not a credit card, since it does not involve any credit.)

Sharius4297d ago

ever hear about something call prepaid card?

some ppl don't like to put thier number online so we go for prepaid card

and sony use regular dollar system too FYI

tokugawa4297d ago

how do you put those "regular dollars" on your account?

because i can remember feeding notes into my disc slot. infact i had to use my visa debit card. just like i do with my 360

fredrikpedersen4297d ago

Buy a 50$ card at stores for 50$ with cash or card. Redeem it.

What is so hard to comprehend about PSN/XBL/Steam/whatever cards?

@romancer, tokugawa

And they're coming out with "Xbox gift cards" to replace points cards.

IDK, maybe you guys are from regions where they don't have these, but most major markets have them.

andrewsqual4297d ago

The article is right. I tried to grab the FIFA 14 demo and some Arcade Trials this week so they would start downloading to the Xbox in our office and it wouldn't let me without a credit card entered in. So the title ISN'T misleading, it is exactly what it says.
Most of you are completely missing the point.

AustinG9094297d ago

If I go to the store, purchase a $20 Xbox currency card, I can't use ANY of that currency unless a credit card is added. If I want to download an item that is listed as free, I can't until a credit card is added.

DarkBlood4297d ago

smells like a way to lock in your credit card really an thats all there is too it.

parentoftheyear4297d ago

Not a big deal. Obviously they had to do this. Pretty sure you have to have a card with apple stuff too.

MaXsPoT4297d ago

Nope, you can buy from iTunes and the App Store (not Apple's store) without a credit/debit card.

Bereaver4297d ago

Max is right, you can buy a gift card to activate an account or not use anything at all to download free apps/games.

Sm00thNinja4297d ago

So.... This is news? There's gotta be a better site similar to N4P

stuff4297d ago

What does this mean for those who make purchases using only voucher cards? For our sake, I hope this isn't true. Otherwise, they are immediately alienating many customers.

Sharius4297d ago (Edited 4297d ago )

sound like... tier 2 customer

The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.

I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2

OtterX4d ago

I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.

I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.

GamerRN3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I've been waiting for 60 to finish the game myself

OtterX2d ago

hopefully we'll know by the end of tomorrow! *crosses fingers*

dmonee3d ago

My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.

Lionsguard3d ago

Give me my RDR2 Undead Nightmare already.

I think i made the mistake of giving Mama Murphy too many chems. Because I could never get my settlement past 98% happiness, and it even cost me the Platinum.
