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.
Since my brother pretty much just plays PS3, I logged into his account to see if his old Xbox Live account got one, unfortunately he didnt get nada. As for my code I redeemed it this morning and had no issues.
Got the code, put the code in and then got the message saying it was an invalid code. I then contacted Microsoft and they gave me a new code that worked...but when I redeemed the code I received two emails saying thank you for renewing my membership for 1 month and then another one for renewing my membership 12 month membership. The crappy thing is, my 12 month was renewed on Oct. of this year. So that means they charged me for two 12 month gold memberships >:[
I got one and I've been on Gold for about three years. Mine was about to expire in two days, but I don't know if that had anything to do with it. I was also in the last two dashboard betas.
I am paid up for over a year and still received the code. Would not work this morning as i was getting the error message which others have been reporting. However, I tried again just now and it went through. Can't complain about a free month.
[quote name='msk']Can you PM me your code? I haven't received the email yet and I just got my xbox a few weeks ago.[/QUOTE]
** Single-use token valid only for named recipient of this email. Limit: one (1) gift per person. This offer is nontransferable and is not redeemable for cash. Taxes, if any, are the sole responsibility of the recipient. Xbox 360 console must be connected to the Internet for the token to be redeemed.
I don't know if it can be shared due to those terms in the email but I PMed you the code anyways.
[quote name='xGunCrazyx']Silver, got the email, and I have no use for it as I got rid of my 360 and have just been playing PC/3DS lately[/QUOTE]
*cough* feel free to send it my way... lol. Honestly, though, if anyone truly doesn't want theirs, I would be grateful to receive a code. Still hoping not all of the emails have gone out!

I got the 1 month xbox live gold, free ms points, and that avatar t-shirt. I wonder how microsoft decides who gets this stuff, seems all random to me.
