Uh... After Google'ing around... This seems like a HUGE issue and every one needs to remove their credit cards from their XBL accounts immediately.

I received no such response, however, I have Paypal as an option - maybe that is why. I've only used either to obtain points on the fly.
Membership renewals, etc I usually do through those prepaid cards you get through Amazon, etc.

PayPal is probably worse as the buyer protection is a joke. Your credit card probably provides better protection, plus, if PayPal is associated with your checking account you are doubly-screwed.

I just went through it in December. (Removing my CC and disabling auto-renewal.) It seems to have saved me a lot of grief as these hackers are stealing hundreds of dollars worth of MS points while they have illicit access to your XBL account.
