Hi,

Gold X360 backward compatible games will always show you a Buy This Game.

But, that's no problem, click on Buy This Game and you will see Free if your Gold Subscription is valid. You will also need a valid payment associated to your account.

Excerpt from the FAQ

"When I try to download a game from Xbox.com I get a message that says "You have no valid payment options on file." Will I be charged for the free Games with Gold?

You won’t be charged for the Games with Gold download. The Xbox.com Store requires a valid payment option to download Xbox 360 games. However, no charges will be made since Games with Gold is free to Xbox Live Gold members."

Hope this help

Cheers

Hi

Xbox 360 backwards compatible Games with Gold games require a credit/debit card to allow the purchase to complete even though when you complete the purchase the game should show as free. As for the Xbox One games you don't own the games they are just available
for you to play without charge whilst you have an active gold membership.

yeah but today when I switch on the xbox its showing free to download but it charged me n yea I know its free from the 16th but it was showing free today, when I go to deals with gold u get 2 games showing free for the xbox one then u get the 360 game that's
free next to it and it was showing tron for free

Wrong! When you grab a Games With Gold XBOX 360 Game. It does show the full price and say its Free. Which it did. But when it click to buy it the next screen that appears always shows the full price of the game.

Actually, he is right about that. On the payment confirmation screen it updates with the price you're about to pay. If it's free the payment changes to 0.00. If it shows an actual price, then that is what you are being charged unless you cancel the transaction.
Since you're on a trial subscription and not a full subscription, that's why it showed you the price and charged you for the game.
