xbox live 12 Months / Monthly ?

miggiwoo

I wondered if anybody could clear up what is probably a fairly routine thing , please.
Currently pay Monthly D/D for my son's XBox live (£5-99) but would like to buy a 12 Month subscription (£25 ish ?).

Would he be able to keep his user name and settings if I bought the 12 Month and when should I cancel the Monthly £5-99 D/D ?

Thanks

When you buy a subscription card, it just has a code which you add to your live account and it extends the membership by 12 months.
you can also get 12+1 cards, which can work out slightly cheaper per month.

Not sure if you need to cancel the DD or not, i have mine set to annually, but i've never had a payment taken because i keep extending it using the cheaper cards

so its possible that the monthly DD will kick in after the 12 months have ended

Yes you keep the Gamertag, it stays with your son until he decides he doesn't want to continue with Xbox anymore, can even go to silver and he will still keep it. What has been mentioned looks like it would work.
