ok. this is step by step what I did. This will only matter to people who have purchased prepaid cards of any kind. getting them in deals, (like me w/ the vision camera) or stores, etc.

1.In the Xbox Dashboard, select the profile that you want to modify, and then select Account Management.

2.Select Memberships.

3.Select the membership that you want to update.

4.Select Change Payment Options.

5.Select Add Credit Card.

add your credit card - cuz we all have our credit card on our 360s. It'll be in the list.

The problem some of use are having is that we think our credit cards are connected to our gamertag, but they're not. A lot of others have been saying this, w/o providing information or steps how to get to it.

the system, or xbox live, doesn't recognize/realize that the credit card information you put in to buy microsoft points should sync up with your gamertag.

Mine are downloading right now. Hope I helped 1 person at least.

Don't hate me for playing a game...Hate me 'cause I read your email... Yes - right now - I am reading your email.

Well those are nice instructions, however this did not fix my issue, I had your issue on the first release. Mine involves downloading the original maps after providing the cc info for the prepaid account and then not getting charged for the beta maps the final release has replaced, now I am unable to update the maps even if I add another card and try again. But then again apparently I am an idiot oh well who knows... Congrats! It'll be fun to play those maps again.

Does anyone know what to do about this...

I sent my 360 out for repairs, they sent me a different one. Now it wants me to pay again. Any ideas?

Wow. I told you that was the problem and you flamed on and on. I'm glad you finally listened. Way to post step by step instructions for the techno-idiots that can't work the $400 console they bought.


all i remember you saying is, LINK URZ GAMERZTAGS UNEDUCATED NEWBZ. really wasn't that helpful, more like a broken record, as you and the other people with no problems kept repeating the same stuff over and over again. We knew it was broken, we didn't need you to keep telling us some generic solution, we needed help, some information.

i'll try and help others out.

I'd just check your cc information, make sure it's up-to-date, make sure ur 360 cc info matches the actual cc info 100%. it's not much help, but this situation would require someone who knows the system inside and out, as this is like trying to find a needle in a damn haystack. I suggest calling JROCK420 over to help you, he seems to know the system 100%, he just can't tell you how to fix it, and he has to be a douche' about everything.

this current system is stupid, instead of saying, "try again later, you won't be charged" they should at least direct us to what's wrong, WHY the downloads aren't working.

Can I use my debit card? It has a Visa logo on it, if that helps :-\

All I did was recover my gamertag. I don't even understand how that even helped, but it did.

Hmmm I got mine working finally. Since everyone is getting it working under account management..i switched my active credit card to an old one that I didn't want to use anymore. Then, I switched it right back to the credit card it was previously that wasn't working. Then the download worked. I just went to change payment method and chose the cards from there. Thanks
