Cant get online in gears with a 3 months account ok Xbox live gold, new console

same problem here, xbox live expired, i exteneded for 3 months, accounts says on xbox live that gold ist active but cant play online or join party! it happened today

The free months of xbox live gold on each new console only apply to newly created accounts. 1 per new account for up to 3 accounts.

Depending on where/how you bought 3 months Xbox Live Gold, you don't get a code for Rocket League.

If you bought the 3 months Xbox Live Gold through your console, you should get the game added automatically to your account. Simply download it.

If you bought 3 months in an (online) store, you get the code either printed on the receipt, or via mail from the store. In that case, you'll need to contact the store from which you bought the 3 month code for the Rocket League code.

Unless there's a code in the box for the 3 months it means that you get 3 x 1 month free XBOX Live memberships with every new XBOX 360. You need to actually make a new XBOX Live account on the console and go through the steps of making an XBOX Live account.
Once you do, it will offer you a free 1 month gold membership. Remember that this is only done by making an account on the console. If you've already made an account you would need to re-make the account with another e-mail from the console itself.

hey,

every new xbox will give you 3 months free trial spread over 3 accounts, so if you create a new account you can get 1 month free gold and you can do this with 3 account on 1 console.

so this is basically a way to get ''free'' gold.
