Not sure if this is widely known but ever since beta users began using the new dashboard it seems that ALL deals and advertisements have disappeared from our screens. I know I was usually getting a $1/month Gold offer each time my sub. would expire and I would revert back to a FREE Silver Membership.

Hopefully, this will help some of you out as I have just stumbled across it tonight.

Upon trying to download the new Gamespot video app. on my Silver account, I was alerted on screen that the download would only work if I were a Gold member. I clicked to "UPGRADE" and followed the prompts that after a couple of clicks brought me to a screen with 6 offers.

12 Months $60
3 Months $25
Redeem Code

1 Month $1 <<< 90% OFF Sale!
12 Months (Family) $100
No Thanks

Choosing the 1 Month for $1 would charge the CC you have on file AND turn ON auto-renewal. Those of us who have done this offer before know this and can easily go online and have auto-renewal set to OFF later on.

I'm currently choosing NO Thanks as I just redeemed a "2-day" pass but I know next time how to get the $1/month.

Just wanted to let everyone know where the $1 months had been relocated to.

Go Silver!!!

EDIT: Wow, apparently now after choosing NO THANKS they are offering me a 1-month Gold TRIAL for FREE. Still declining but I hope I can get this offer after my other "2-day" pass is over.

Awesome, Thanks OP!

Nice catch!

Thanks OP!

Did anyone else successfully get the one month free after choosing "No thanks?" I definitely don't mind paying $1 for a month, but free would be even better.

Are you sure the free month was offered from dashboard and not your own console? Every new Xbox comes with two or three free 1-month trials and you might just not have used up yours.

I just tried this and it offered me full price, so YMMV.

The profile that I'm using was created in 2006.

I reverted to Silver in mid-August during which time I had the beta dashboard.

My tenure number on my gamercard was at 5 "years". Earlier this year I did take a $1/month AND a $2/2 months offers on the same account.

My console is also a refurb unit that I purchased back in March to replace my old RROD system.

I tried, "no thanks," and I didn't get a free trial, but I got the one month deal anyway.

I too was offered the one month free but could not get my credit card info to be accepted. I defaulted back to the $1/1 month option and that already had my payment info saved which worked fine.

No dice on my end it still tries to charge me $9.99 for 1 month

Same, but tried with the Paramount movie app.

Didn't work for me. I was able to download the Gamespot video app with a Free Account. :/

Same here.

Just did this and got the $1/month. Thanks OP

just got 1 month free

I did this and got the free trial for a month and then did it again for the $1 for 1 month for a total of 2 months for $1! Thanks op!

Did you specifically download the gamespot app?

I just followed the OPs instructions and it doesn't NOT work.

I just followed them and the instructions did work. It was specifically the gamespot app, and after clicking through a lot of prompts, I saw the 90% off deal near the bottom of the options. Thanks, OP!

I'll try again by deleting the gamespot app and re-downloading it on a silver acct. I hope it works this time
