    How do I purchase Xbox Gold Live for my Son,


    I just thought, Okay I will credit his account with £50 and he could then just get the annual offer. NOPE!

    This credit is now sitting on his account however he says he can't use it. I have removed the ask a parent consent temporarily for him and he still can't buy Xbox Gold Live.

    So frustrating 'it just says "I find a please and a hug works wonders'

    I have an adult account, I have a Microsoft account.

    My sons are on my FAMILY, the youngest has the original xbox one, probably home xbox he has Gold Live, We just got an Xbox X for the eldest and he requires Gold Live now as the gift card for 1 month expired so he can't do anything.

    I am really struggling with support, there doesn't seem to be an easy answer.

    :)

    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.

    Playing Xbox Live

    I purchased a game pass in error, thought I was purchasing the xbox live gold. It's our first time as I just bought this for my son a short time back.

    Connection Issues

    When my son trys to play any game that requires him to log into Xbox Live (ex: Fortnite, COD4) to play with others in network, he gets a screen that says he has to purchase Xbox Live or Live Gold. He already has an active Xbox Live Gold subscription. He
    can download updates but can't log into Live at all. I have reset my internet and had my son hard reset his console; neither worked.
