Deleting a credit card

Hi Melonie,

If you are unable to remove the credit cards you've listed under Payments & Billing, try updating your payment method by following the steps indicated on this

link. If that didn't work, kindly retry removing your credit cards after 1-3 days.

Let us know how things goes.

Regards.

 

Cannot use Microsoft account credit to pay for anything! Why?

I followed the instructions here to give my child some money (10 Euros) so that "they can buy what they want, without spending too much" as your help page states:

Add money to your family member's Microsoft account - Microsoft Support

Yet when he tried to purchase a game for $6.99 (which is much less than 10 Euros) he was unable to use his money to buy "what he wants", the only payment option available is credit card, paypal or mobile phone, but paying from his existing Microsft account
credit is not possible apparently.

Can you explain why my son can not pay from his available microsoft account credit?

And if he can't pay from his credit, why have a help page (see first link) that suggests you child "can buy what they want" with it. This is highly misleading.

What can you actually pay with this credit?

And since we can't buy anything with it on the Microsoft store (which was the intended purpose of giving him credit), how can we get the credit back?

 

Microsoft about to issue credit cards to minors to buy games

Sure, it is but a prepaid credit card, but still a step forward to further commercialisation of childhood. The credit card, a product of Microsoft, Visa and the Landesbank Berlin is targeted on XBox owning youths of 14-22 years old, whom the cards are to be offered for free. Older appliants have to pay a fee of 12 Euro p.a., but all holders pay interest.
