My membership should be gold.

Both consoles have internet. My first console is set as my home xbox and has the Gold membership. My second console doesn't have a Gold membership. I figured since I have my account linked to both consoles, the Gold membership should be linked as well.
However, it only seems to be linked with my first console.

In the moment you convert your membership to ultimate your gold membership is included in that conversion, so if you cancel your ultimate membership you terminate your gold membership as well. In that case you should purchase xbox gold membership again.

Then why does it have Gold??Is Gold Limited why you buy a gold membership??If its a Trail..then it should say ..Limited trial membership...

No I kind of agree. I paid $24.99 for a 3 month xbox live gold membership, I played it for a month and a half, and didn't play for a while after that. 2 or 3 months later when I go to play online, its says my gold membership ran out. Its *** up that they
charge you when you're not even using your xbox. I payed for 3 months of gold, only used 1 and a half, and even when I wasn't playing they were taking time off my membership. They should only charge and deduct your membership when you are playing. I bought
3 months of gold membership, I deserve 3 months of gold membership. So time of the xbox gold membership should only be taken off when you're logged in.

The Xbox Live Gold One Month Free trial memberships section should be able to help you.
