Today my Xbox Live Gold subscription has officially expired. Now I wanted to pay again, but I'm no longer offered the option of debiting the credit, but only via PayPal, credit card and telephone number. I don't have PayPal or a credit card. When I tried to do it with the telephone number connection, I was only told that there was an error, plus extremely long loading times of several minutes.
Do you know how I can pay with credit?
It has not been possible for years, or it was never possible, at least in Germany. You can pay for Xbox Live Gold abroad with the credit of a gift voucher card, (in which country I don't know exactly), however, this is not possible here in Germany. Unfortunately, I don't know whether that was possible years ago or whether it never worked, but it has been a topic of conversation since 2016. (regarding the MS forums)
Well, I could do it until three months ago.
