But it has the facility to have a parent account (which has the details) and a child account, as OP has now set up.

This wouldn't have happened OP had done so in the first place. MS provided the facilities, but they weren't used.

Yes, and I am not disputing this.

BUT, regardless of which account is used, the option to save credit card details should be an exception and not the norm. i.e. ask the user if they want to store the details rather than do it by default ?

Yeah, it should be, I agree there. However, thinking about most websites, Im not sure of any websites where I've input my card details where they've not saved them by default. It's incredibly convenient to have one click purchases and the assumption with the xbox I suppose is that you wont be putting card details in unless it's your account.

That being said, I've never needed to put my card details into the console because the smart moneysaving way to get points is to buy them online, not through ms direct :money:
