GWG and free trials

so did they recently change GWG rules?

xbox one GWG used to work with 14 day trials.. but don't seem to work anymore. (i got forza with a trial, but it wouldn't let me grab oxenfree or gone home)

i know and understand why trials don't work with 360 GWG, but X1 GWG always worked. i don't understand the change, we need an active sub to play them anyway. (i was basically queuing ones i was interested in for later, when i had
live again)

*yeah i'm broke and been getting my live fix through trials lately.

:)

 

Why do I need to link a credit card ...

.....To get this months free game with gold ?.

It's free .

I am not on a months trial gold , this is a full year sub .

If this is the new M/s policy , I won't bother with Gwg .

 

Xbox free games with gold

Are you, perhaps, on a 14 day trial card?

If so, trial memberships can't benefit the GwG program.

 

You have to have at least a 30 day trial, as I recall.

 

it worked now.

..for whatever reason. (dunno why 'oxenfree' wouldn't, and why 'gone home' wouldn't at first)

*came to delete, but can't

 

Hey there MeridianWolf,

According to the Xbox Live Gold Trial Page
HERE.

"Prepaid codes for Xbox Live Gold trial subscriptions included with games or console bundles

Some games or console bundles may include a prepaid code for a 2, 3, or 14 day Xbox Live Gold trial subscription. This trial subscription starts as soon as you activate the prepaid card.

The following limitations and restrictions apply to Xbox Live trial subscriptions from games or console bundles:

• If you have an existing paid Xbox Live Gold subscription, you can’t redeem Xbox Live Gold trial subscriptions from games or console bundles to extend your subscription period. However, you can redeem the prepaid code once your current paid subscription
  expires.
• Prepaid codes for Xbox Live Gold trial subscriptions are only available in select games and bundles.
• You can’t access Games with Gold for the Xbox 360 with this type of Xbox Live Gold trial subscription.
• You can’t stack prepaid codes for Xbox Live Gold trial subscriptions from games or console bundles. This means that you can’t start another trial period before your current trial period has finished. However, you can purchase a new paid Xbox Live Gold subscription
  and start the subscription at any time during the trial period.
• If you don’t currently have a paid Xbox Live Gold subscription, there is no limit to the number of times you can use this type of Xbox Live Gold trial subscription."

So by that design, you should be able to access Xbox One Games with Gold Titles, but not Xbox 360. It's possible the trial just took a bit of time to populate before you were able to download some titles.
