The same thing happened to my friend as while back. Normally when you use a credit card to sign up or renew an account, MS will try and charge that same credit card when it comes to renewing again.

With a 3V voucher obviously MS will not be able to charge it again. They will continue to try charging it for a couple of months which is when you will become a silver account again. Although, I don't think my friend ever got charged or else it wasn't for ages. Either way enjoy your Xbox Live while you can.Smile [:)]

Hmmm. really Big Smile [:D]

 i got a frosty email from Microsoft about renewing my CC details. I used 3V at the start. I wouldnt advise it to be honest.

I got away with it for a while but it caught up on me. A years subscription is worth it. Go and buy it !Wink [;)]

i paid for a year outright when i set up last may and i have since gotten rid of CC, but you could just go and buy a prepaid xbox live subscription from xtra vision or some where else that sells them
