I've tried contacting Microsoft support about this and they don't want to hear anything about it. Now i'm out a ton of points because of this little bait and switch. You really have to jump through hoops on their terms of service pages or must have already known about the billing website to even be remotely aware of this. Never would I have expected that after physically redeeming points from the cards that they could be removed straight from your account balance. They wouldn't even push back the expiration on these to unscrew the countless people who lost their points. Has anybody found a channel for their frustration to get something done about this yet?
