xenophon Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 hey guys, As you might be aware, the Reserve Bank of India has issued directions adding an extra layer of security to all online transactions. After the usual check out you're redirected to the bank's website where you have to enter your password and only then does the transaction get authorised. Unfortunately, good old ms hasn't implemented this payment gateway mechanism yet.... so all you'll get are authorisation denied messages... hmm i've tried a fair number of times but couldn't get it to work... i feel a gt ban coming on anyone else having the same problem? and is there any way to get ms points for an indian gt apart from buying them on xbl/xbox.com? Oh yeah, the same problem with paypal as well. can't get the site to authorise my credit card which was working fine! Alternate solution kudos to tushiq for bringing the win: 1. Log on to maximuscards.com 2. Pick 1600 MS Points (US) 3. Pay using Google Checkout or Paypal 4. A code would be emailed to the email account of your choice 5. Redeem code on XBL 6. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Something similar was happening to me too a couple of weeks ago. It will not process any transaction over 500Rs. So I ended up buying 500 MS points X 3. Try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please contact your credit card provider, or enter a different credit card. and the funny thing is i renewed my xbl gold membership on Aug 15 and it worked fine... some bizarre thing. Don't see any point in yelling at customer care also. fat lot of good that'll do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahul Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Same here. i tried to buy 12 month gold for 3days straight.. gave up and ordered from buyoriginalms.com. CC worked there with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC worked there with no problems. yeah that would work because its localised for India. Hope someone draws Microsoft's attention to this soon, coz the entire point of marketplace is defeated if indian ccs dont work on it! im pretty sure they'll do something about it, since they want all our moneys anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenophon Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 sorry about double posting. I spoke to xbox support and they said they're aware of the problem with the payment gateway on xbox.com... so they should fix it sometime in the future... Atleast they knew about the issue so thats a good thing i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricky87 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I have a question, do we need a CC to buy xbox live gold membership? Or is there any other way to buy that and the points also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a CC is not necessary as both of them are available with retailers... But buying with a CC works out cheaper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's still not working Looks like Shadow Complex + Weekend ain't happening... guys if you're really desperate you could try ordering points from http://www.grooveindia.com its pretty ok at 940 bucks for 1600 ms points. way less than what the GI vendor wanted.
