Question about the trial month for the holidays...

EA Play will be coming to XGPU during the holidays (most likely at the Series X Launch). Ultimate costs $1 for your first month, then every month after that is $14.99 a month. Hopefully this answered your question.

Rand Holiday 2015... that would THIS COMING holiday (8 months from now)... we just finished HOLIDAY 2014 a month ago

Was the console purchased second-hand? The free trial link only appears for the first 3 accounts created on a system and if the previous owner used them it won't be available.

Hi JakeUR, my name is Courtney and I would be happy to help.

I'm sorry to hear you're having this problem. With the intention of helping you, I did an internal search here in the community forum and found the response from the Independent Advisor mateusfontana where he mentions that you will need to add a payment method, either credit or debit card, to be able to purchase the $1 promotion, after which you can deactivate the recurring charge and also remove the card from your account if you wish.

- You can deactivate recurring billing after subscribing to the service by accessing the following link.

https://account.microsoft.com/services

Next to the due date, you will see the option ''disable recurring billing.

- If you want to delete your card after successfully paying for the first month, use the link below.

In conclusion, you will have to pay $1 to be able to enjoy a month of Game Pass as long as you have never purchased this subscription.

I hope you understand, I wish you good luck and a Merry Christmas.

Best regards,
Courtney.

Hello there Chips237 Overview

The Xbox LIVE Gold trial membership provides temporary access to the features of Xbox LIVE, including online multiplayer gaming.

When you set up an Xbox One or Xbox 360 console, you follow an account creation sign-up process so that you can access Xbox Live Free membership features, assuming that you have a broadband Internet connection. At the end of the account creation process,
you can upgrade to a Gold membership. If you don’t upgrade, you can receive a free Gold trial.

The Gold trial is associated with a single gamertag and can’t be added to an existing membership. A total of three trial accounts are available per console, and this limitation cannot be reset. After a user has created three trial accounts, the user no longer
receives a message that provides the opportunity to create a Gold trial account.

To use the Gold trial, you must add a payment instrument to your account.

At the end of the trial period, the Gold trial membership automatically renews to a paying membership that renews monthly by default. The membership will renew to the payment instrument that was added.

For information about membership renewal, see Learn how to manage auto-renewal for your Xbox Live Gold membership or Xbox Music Pass".
To learn how to turn off automatic renewal, see "Cancel your Xbox Live Gold (paid) membership".
