PS4 and PC players are able to use prepaid cards to purchase months of ESO Plus. Are there plans to finally allow Xbox One players to purchase ESO Plus without using a credit card applied to their account? I previously tried a pre-paid credit card and it didn't work.

    Just curious, regardless of any blame, based on your above statement, does this seem to be working on Xbox One now? Meaning, can I purchase ESO Plus with MS Points/Crowns rather than a CC sub?

    @aggrokragg

    Because ZOS had Xbox set it up as a subscription instead of a one time purchase, it has to occur via PayPal or a credit card.
    Subs cannot be under a gift card because of the renewal aspect of a subscription.

    There is a post from me suggesting to ZOS to remove the sub and align the benefit with crown purchases instead which would then eliminate all my concerns as well as allow you to use a gift card. If it was just crown purchases or a season pass it would work but as a subscription, only the payments I mentioned will work per Xbox support page under billing subscriptions.

    Im pretty sure that's on Microsoft and not ZoS. The xbox live would have to accept pre paids

    I know hulu use to, but if you used a pre paid with no money you got unlimited free trials... so they stopped that.

    Thanks. Yeah, I believe it is on Microsoft. I had just seen some (undocumented) posts about ESO+ now being in the MS Store, and I wasn't sure if ZOS ever mad an official statement on whether they were working with Microsoft to change that so it would work like PC and PSN.

    Considering the amount of back and forth I've had for now over a year just to get ESO plus in the store, I seriously doubt it's a Microsoft thing. Please stop spreading miss-information and false assumptions that are unfounded. It causes long term discussion issues and more arguments that shouldn't exist.

    I can tell you that whomever is in charge after a lot of pestering, finally sent this over to Xbox and in less than 45 - 90 days it was changed. (Edited for accuracy)

    As far as the different bundles.....I'd suggest not having this under reoccurring but instead aligning with crown bundles only.
    The reason being, is that PS4 folks are reporting partial crowns and not full credits until after opening tickets.

    These issues are 100% ZOS issues and not either consoles fault.

    consoles need the discounts for long term ESO plus purchases like on PC.
