Xbox 360 and credit card info

Post by wautd »

So a while ago my xbox got stolen. Sadly, that also contained my credit card info so I did the following steps as quickly as possible:

- cancelled my credit card and ordered a new one
- changed my xbox live password

Now I got a new xbox and when I recovered my gamertag, I saw the my old (now inactive) credit card info was still linked. Is there any risk the thieves will see the info of my new credit card if I put it into the system or am I in the clear?

As long as you changed the password to your gamertag you should be in the clear.

Since you've recovered the gamertag to another console, they won't be able to access your profile on the other console without your password.

Good, that's a relief. Would sucks to pay for a new gamertag as well.
