Just received an e-mail from Microsoft. They are offering a link to a code that gives you one free month of Xbox Live Gold. Not sure if this is a widespread deal or limited to select invites, but check your inboxes.
[quote name='Chrono Gear']Being a Gold member continuously for the last 8 years means I never see these deals. Thanks for getting my hopes up. [/QUOTE]

Been one since the XBL beta and I got the email...
[quote name='roymustang']considering I bought a shitload of those $7.99 3 month codes from BB and am now good for a long time, I doubt I'll get the email.[/QUOTE]

Not so sure. I've been Gold ever since the launch of XBL and they sent it to me. I don't know what their criteria are, though. I do participate in all of the dashboard betas, and I buy a lot of XBLA titles, so maybe that's the criteria. Maybe it has something to do with the Live Rewards programs. I dunno.
Got the email...Been gold for 3 years and my current sub still has a few more months left on it. Could this have anything to do with participating in the latest dash beta?

I was in the beta and didn't get one
i didnt get a code sent to me my xbox live gold ran out last week too. if anybodys code errored out you can send it to me through pm. maybe it will work for a non gold member?
Hmm. I got one, but it keeps giving me an error when I try to redeem it. I also tried to redeem it from my Xbox, it recognized the code as a 1 month gold card, but said it wasn't valid when I tried to submit it... :\
So I decided to check and I had an email with the title:
"Here is your gift from Xbox LIVE"
Thanks for being an Xbox LIVE member. You've earned a free gift for purchasing your Xbox LIVE subscription. Just follow the instructions below, and you can download it immediately.*

Probably becuase I recently renewed for a year of gold. Not the same thing TC was talking about, but another heads up for everyone.
I got the email and also have a $1 offer for 1 month of gold on the dashboard. Do I have to redeem the offers in a particular order to get both or will I get both months either way?

Yup, same here. Gold member with expiration date of May 2012 and it recognized the 1 month gold card but said the code was not valid.
Not sure what to do other than wait and try again later.
