Can't play online even though I have Gold

I recently purchased an Xbox 1 and received a 14day Xbox gold trial. I've redeemed the code and it says I have Gold but yet when I go onto fifa or try to play other games online it says I don't have access to this option prompting me back to the area with
the three different monthly options for purchasing gold! What can I do? It's very frustrating especially when it is telling me I have Gold membership but I clearly don't. Anyone else have a problem like this?

Can't play online even though I have xbox live gold

Hey,

So today I bought a one month prepaid card of xbox live. I then used the code and I got a successful message. However after I tried playing online games it prompted me to buy xbox live or sign into an account with xbox live. I can download the free game
with gold and even in my subscriptions in the settings says that I have xbox live gold. Please help me. I'm dying to play ESO.

 

I can't play online, even though I have a gold membership

So I just bought a gold membership, but every time I try to play online I'm not allowed to. does it have something to do with my account being a child account? I tried to log into my other account (which is an adult account) to try to play online, but it
did not work there either. please help.

 

Trial codes don't change your account status to gold. They only give you access to some benefits of online multiplayer. They will not work with all games or all game modes.

 

Ok I understand, I'll need to purchase full membership then inorder to play what I want to play online. Thanks.
