It is truly free for an actual Australian Xbox Live account. It shows Free both on the website and on an Xbox 360 console even after you click/press to purchase it. Get it from an Xbox 360 console if you don't want to bother adding a payment method to the account. Thanks a lot for the find...
When you spend credit from your Microsoft account on the Xbox Store, the system will automatically use the credit that will expire the soonest. So, you simply have to buy 10$ worth of items from the Xbox Store.
There's been no anger in my comment, and I definitely don't want to claim this as my own invention... The official page is helpful, but it does not explain how to take advantage fully out of this. For example, many people have only one payment option that they can use, only 1 credit card, let's...
Obviously this is still working...
Yes, it is not a trick or a glitch, however, using the information I have provided above, this simple procedure can be used for "tricky" purposes, like getting the Games with Gold games and playing them with your main account, which does not have Gold and more...
I'll give this a light bump, because I feel this thread really got lost. With double the amount of Games with Gold this month, I'm sure many people who don't have Gold at the moment on their main account and can't afford or just don't want to pay right now, could benefit from this method.
If the payment option isn't working, there is a slight chance that either Microsoft's security system or your bank is denying the transaction because of the discordance between your account's region and billing address on the fresh account and your real region and billing address registered at...
Due to waiting long enough for an equally useful alternative to this method and it not having been found, I shall lock this thread to prevent it from getting pointlessly bumped.
If you really want Gold on an account, but NOT your main account, check out my thread about creating fresh US...
Just try to wait for a week and try to add your payment instrument again; it might be a temporary thing from probably trying too many times to get it and the transaction (it's a transaction even if it's free) failed every time, which triggered the anti-fraud system on XBL. If you're lucky...
To my great surprise, just today, that tile which was showing "Gold Members Got $460 in Free Games." now changed for me to "Try Gold for Free - Exclusive Offer Just for You". I select it, then it shows me straight out that I can benefit from a TRIAL month of Gold; I accept, it brings up the...
I'd like to ask anyone who posts that Gideon68's method worked for them to mention if they have used up the 3 months of XBL Gold trial associated to their console (as in created 3 different accounts on the console and for each of them, they accepted the free trial month of Gold offer upon...
Related to the discovery shared by Gideon68, I'd want to hear from somebody who knows for sure he's used up the 3 trial months of Gold on his console (1 trial month for 3 different accounts created on the console) and is using, for this, an account which has had Gold before (more than once). As...
Thanks Gideon68 for sharing that info. It sounded promising in the beginning, however when trying to access it at this moment, for me, it gives me an error code after I select "No thanks" (8C210007), which is specifically related to acquiring this trial month of Gold. I think CodeTrader might be...
