Common issues when canceling your Xbox Live subscription
If you cannot cancel your subscription, it is likely that your account is suspended. To cancel the service, you will need to pay the balance first.
Another possible reason for cancelation issues is the ownership of the Microsoft account. If someone else is the owner and you are paying for this account’s Xbox Live subscription, you won’t be able to unsubscribe. Only the owner of the Microsoft account can do that.
Does Xbox Live free trial auto-renew into a paid subscription?
Not necessarily. When you sign up for an Xbox Live Gold trial, you need to enter your credit card information. Once your trial ends, your subscription will renew. If you want to avoid auto-renewal, you can change these settings from your account.
You can find more info about free trials here.
With DoNotPay, you won’t be charged after the free trial!
Most people, when they subscribe to a free trial, forget to cancel it before it expires. This leads to unwanted costs of subscription renewal that can be quite pricey. If you don’t want to be charged when your free trial expires, you can sign up with DoNotPay’s virtual credit card. Xbox Live can’t tell the difference between a virtual and real credit card, and they won’t be able to charge you.
Can I pause my Xbox Live subscription instead of canceling it?
No, you can’t. If you sign up for Xbox Live and decide you don’t enjoy it, the only option is to cancel your membership.
