Account sharing with my friend but i can't use his games and gold membership but he can, ...

[quote user="RunningRichw"]

My son has used xbox 360 without subscription to live for 1 year.

I have now purchased a 3m gold subscription and redeemed online - adding it to my microsoft account.

My son has a microsoft account he uses for email which is "family" linked to mine.

How do i "transfer" this credit to his profile on the xbox?

Unfortunately, you can't transfer Gold memberships like that.

On the Xbox One the "Home Console" can share the Gold membership to other accounts on that very console, but the Xbox 360 console can't do that.

You need to either buy a separate Gold membership for your son via Prepaid Gold cards, or subscribe to the Gold membership with his account.

Hi,

I'll be happy to explain how it works. You're definitely on the right track here.

As long as you have 1 gamertag on the Xbox One console that has a gold membership, all profiles that sign into that Xbox One console will have a gold membership as well.

You are correct in that you can only have 1 gamertag per Microsoft Account (e-mail). If you wish for others to have a gamertag, you will need to make them their own e-mail address and then their own Xbox LIVE gamertag. As long as the account being created is
under the age of 18, you will be asked to enter in a parental e-mail. This will allow you to control certain features of your child's account as well as access to the things they can and can't do on Xbox LIVE.

There's no need to sign up for another gold subscription. As long as at least 1 account on the console has a gold membership, that membership is shared with everyone on that console. This would mean that if your son goes to a friends house, he can also share
his friends gold membership for the time that he is at his house.

The only issue with this is that your son would not be able to game on the Xbox 360 without a gold membership as this Xbox One Home Gold is not backwards compatible. Your son will also not be able to game online if he goes to a friends house and his friend
does not have a gold subscription. This is meant for families that want their accounts separate but also don't wish to pay $60 for each family member to play online.

Hope that explains it a bit better.

If your son does not have a Gold membership he will not be able to play online games. You can share your membership with him on the Xbox One though. Go to Settings and scroll right until you see Add to Family. Add your son there and he will be able to
use your Gold membership on his account.

You can share gold membership in xbox one among accounts through xbox home setting:

As for xbox 360 you can't share gold membership among different accounts.

Correction : Since i can't modify or delete my post.

I'm using my main account which has no gold but i use my second account ZenMonk616 which has the gold membership to download thoses games.

So my second account Zenmonk616 has the gold membership and that's where i tried to download my free copies of the games and it's there where the membership expire the next month the 15 of april 2017.

My main account , is on xbox gold sharing but i know you can't dowload games with gold from sharing gold accounts!

But the problem is still there, i have my gold membership on my second account, i tried to download from there but nothing!!
