    That happened me before and I ran up the next working day and they cancelled my subscription and refunded me no questions asked.

    You can ring up and cancel, they're normally good about refunding your money.

    Best way to go is the prepaid cards (GameStop and HMV have them among others).

    You can prepay for 1 month, 3 months or 12 months and when it's over you get automatically bumped back down to a (free) Silver membership.

    I noticed that small print about the automatic renewal if you do it by credit card and said "No, thank you very much".

    If you buy them in the shops, the XBox Live Subs are about the same price as you pay online (with a credit card).
    You can get a bargain on ebay, Amazon.com, etc. but the US Cards 12 Month+1 Month free apparently don't work outside the US. The regular 12 month one should work, there's another thread here about that.
    Amazon are selling them for $39.99 (about €33 ... as good as half price, if they work!)

    If you're buying on eBay, be careful that some clown isn't going to sell you a prepaid card that has already been activated. You never know, it could happen.


    For Refunds the http://live.xbox.com site shows quite a bit of info:

    If you modify your renewal subscription to Xbox Live, you may qualify for a refund from XboxLive for the unused period of service.
