Thanks OP.

I know I used an offer like that years ago. But can't remember how many times. Guess I am out of luck. Thank you for the help

I've not committed to anything yet as I have a 14-day Gold pass ongoing.

I got the free month this way. Thanks!

Just got the free one 1 month. Being a CAG is the gift that keeps on giving. Just in time for Halo 4 as well!

Me too, thanks. I hope the $1/month or the $2/2 months start showing up again after my month expires.

Same reason I need it and for COD next week.

There's a 1 month for $1 for Silver members available through the Vevo app. It will ask if you want to upgrade to Gold to use Vevo, and select no to get the $1 month deal.

Remmber to turn off auto renewal.

It still doesn't work for me. This does not work for all users

Thanks, worked for my other silver account (My main has gold already). Free month just in time for Halo!

Did this just now. Thanks for the heads up! Just in time for Halo 4, indeed.

I think you need a credit card on file and/or need to be a former Gold member. Do you and are you?

So I got the free trial, thanks for the OPP but I have no idea how to turn off the auto-renewal. Anyone know how?

You have to go to Xbox.com, then "My Account".

Worked for me on trying to download Netflix. I got a free month!! Will let it expire and try again next month

Thanks op!

Couldn't get the free month to work, but the $1/month worked which is very awesome

what the heck.. tried the free month trick by going to d.load netflix and it seemed to work. Went through the whole process. Did that a few days ago. I just went to xbox live rewards to try to get some points... and it shows i am NOT a gold member. Anyone know what the deal is? I went through the whole sign up process, entered a credit card, ect, and it seemed to work fine but it now shows i am just a silver member

I did this a couple of days ago, and I was pleasantly surprised! Thanks for the post!! Now I just have to remember to turn off the auto-renew.

Good job! Stick it to Bill Gates!

My rewards isn't showing gold either. Maybe it has to do with the 1 month "trial" gold. Sucks because I just bought a bunch of xbla stuff. We'll see what happens when I try for the $1 next month

I cannot get this to work at all.

My Gold subscription expired a few days ago and I've been trying since then to make this work. I found a video (below) that shows how it's supposed to work as described in this topic, but I can't get it to work like that.

When you select "free download" for Gamespot TV, it's supposed to bring you to the "You need Xbox Live Gold to continue." That never happens for me; I just get the popup telling me the app is 73.89 MB and to confirm download. If I use the app and try to play a video, I get another popup telling me to get Gold, but I only get the $9.99/month option. I've tried a bunch of other apps with the same result.

My account had Gold for 3 years and this is the first time I've let it expire since this method seems to work for 99% of people here. I'm also on the new Dashboard, but I don't think you can even use the old Dashboard if you're online.

Very frustrating. I'm about to give up and drop $50 for another year.
