    Apparently if you try a couple of times it can let it back through, how many months have you bought though?

    You can cancel as soon as the payments have been done, but if you were charged and a month wasn't added I'd say call Microsoft up and see what's gone wrong

    Maybe it's only for live accounts that gave expired?

    It was technically supposed to be for just that, however my renewal date was some time in 2012 and I was able to renew up to June 2014.

    Although there are a few reports of people being refunded from Microsoft so maybe they've sussed it!

    Apparently it does still work, but it's a bit temperamental!

    No problem :) In fairness, it is a mission getting the card removed via phone, luckily my expiry was a few months away anyway so I didn't need to worry about the renewals :)
