Redeeming problem

So, I bought an Xbox Live Gold code on eBay and redeemed it afterwards. The code was a Wrigley or something 7-day trial. The system accepted the code. But, when I turned on my Xbox, my membership says it's still free. I checked the 'Account' tab on the Xbox
Dashboard, there were two memberships, one free and the other one Xbox LIve Gold 7 Day Trial and I cant picked gold because it was not bold. the xbox live free was the only one bolded. Help......

:)

 

Problem redeeming.

Thanks I went to the side and it's seems that it only was for a REQ Pack not for the whole game! Thanks boss!

 

Problem redeeming.

About a week ago I got a code from my friend claiming that it was Halo 5. So I went to Xbox.com and redeemed it. (I didn't have an Xbox One by that time) I logged in to my account and everything redeemed it fine too, gave me confirmation and all good! Then
now I don't know how to find it and download it on my Xbox One. And If I tried to put it in again it tells me it's been used already! How do I find the game?

 

7day Trial codes are not recognized as Gold

- they wont Show up anywhere

- they wont enable you to use Gold exclusive offers

in General they are meant for using with the game they are bundled with, but they may work with different games too

 

I have the same problem too

 

I know the problem now. My account just says it's free but actually I'm Gold but there are some features of Gold I can't use. I can still play multiplayer in games and watch Youtube or whatever but the 'Games with Gold' Feature is unavailable with Gold Trial.
