My xbox live gold subscription ended one day after Iactivated it

Im not entirely sure but I got my 30 day trial after signing up for gold on my console and was awarded an extra thirty days at the end of my subscription

Hi there,

Even though the Xbox Live Gold trial subscription is free, we need a payment option on file because the subscription will renew to a paid Xbox Live Gold subscription unless you cancel it. You must add a payment option such as a credit card or PayPal to your
account for it. If you don’t want a paid Xbox Live Gold subscription after your Xbox Live Gold trial subscription ends, you will need to cancel it.

Hopefully that answers your question!

They are doing a 12 month live subscription for 25.99. Offer ends in a few days though.

This page will walk you through how to sign up for the Xbox Live Gold Trial Subscription, which does revert to a paid subscription after the trial period has ended.

Hi,

This isn't a bug. Xbox 360 Games With Gold are yours to keep and will continue to work even after your Live subscription ends. Only Xbox One GWG tiles require a subscription to keep playing.

So enjoy your completely free games!
