XBOX Live Gold Membership - 1 year

I think this is a kind of grab it, not sure where else to post it.

My OH has had his Xbox Live Gold 1 year membership set up on direct debit for the last few years, it's due to be renewed at the end of the month. Last night he rang them to say cancel his dd as we can't afford it this month and we'd buy it quaterly instead. The guy on the other end of the phone said that as OH has set up payments automatically by dd, and has for the last few years he could have the 1 year membership for 23.99 not 40.00. Obviously he accepted this price. Had OH not called them and just let the dd go out it would've been full price!

So if your membership is due to run out call them and see what they can offer.

HTH

    If you plan it well you can often pick up a deal on the 3 and 12 month prepaid cards, but great to know about call in negotiating option.
