You need to set processData to true as you are sending an object which will need to be converted to a querystring.

From the API:

ProcessData
By default, data passed in to the data option as an object (technically, anything other than a string) will be processed and transformed into a query string, fitting to the default content-type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". If you want to send a DOMDocument, or other non-processed data, set this option to false.
