RENEW GOLD FOR A BUCK AND UNLOCK A FREE YEAR OF EA ACCESS WHEN YOU STAY GOLD UNTIL SEPTEMBER

There's a promotion on the dashboard that says I can renew gold for one month for only a dollar plus get a free year of EA Access. I want to take advantage of this deal, but when I click on "renew subscription", it gives me options for 1 month at 9.99,
3 months at 24.99, and 12 months at 59.99. There's no one month option of $1. Is there something I'm missing here?

EA Access : Games in the Vault stay there "forever"

They don't give you access to brand new games for 5 bucks a month, it's stuff thats been out for awhile.
You just have to take a look at the library of games, and figure out if it's worth a subscription to you, if you already own the games, or the games don't interests you theres no reason to subscribe.

 

ea acess went live today. aug 11,2014

so after all the talk i finally bi the bullet and purchased 1 year of ea access...

first thing to mention.. its a 1 year for 29.99+tax... but read it very closley its an auto draft... so as soon as you get it go to xbox.com inthe billing section and turn off the auto draft or it will pull it or try to from whatever source you have linked to xb1.. credit card,paypal... not sure how they would pull money if you just loaded money and left no billing option but its a note worthy mention..

obviously its straigh forward.. you pay go to the vault and select whatever games in the vault you want.. click in stall and walla it puts things in queue till they install.
seems like the first run of games are all in the 12-16gb range except peggle which is at 2-3gb... this plus games with gold could put a hurting on storage space...recommend a external hd 2-4tb

we all know the games... bf3,fifa14,madden25,need for speed,pegle2 for some reason i reamember a nba game or thought one was in the vault but its gone or i was dreaming...

why i am not a "sports gamer" i do feel the 30 bux is a good trade off.. yes the games are last years sports games.. and i think this will be the trend for ea access.. if they keep old sports games or just roll over to the last years model im still ok with it..
i will enjoy madden25 havnt played a madden in years.. (kinda exited) im sure i will suck but i dont have to play mut or online pvp so im ok with it..
ive watched peggle2 loos mindless yet frustrating.. im sure ill play it a good bit.. just for kicks and gamerscore stuff
i like racing and well need for speed is never my cup of tea... (project cars) is a big want and looking forward to.. but again its a decent game and its got cars.. since its bundled in for the 30 i dont feel like im forced to enjoy it as much as try it openly ... i wouldnt buy it for full price but given the opportunity why not see what its about.
fifa14.. lol i think its the worst sports game i have ever played... im not a scoccar fan and well the game mechanics are so off i really didnt like it...
battle feild 4 already had it but seems i wont need my disk so odds are i will trade it in towards sunset overdrive.. (super excited for that game )
fifa was my first download with ea access... and it was a huge dissapointment.. i cant say i will play it much ifany at all.. but than again i may give it a try later..

what really prompted me to purchase the ea access was stated above but with destiny down the last 2 days i wanted something to play new and didnt want a "new" game price.. again the games are not block busters and i dont see the purchase as a huge bang for the buck for crunching the numbers its still a deal if you bought the same games in the vault used..

i have not used ea access to get in on a demo or early access... this again is more towards the sports games lie nhl or new nfl15 where you could try it days before or got early access.. and i dont think i will use it for the discount on expansion/dlc content as that is a hard sell for me to begin with.. most of it is already on the disk just need a code to unlock.. maybe if bf4 was a better game i would have gone premium but at this point its to far gone to commit...

if the dragen age inquisition game gets a demo or limited play(2-4hrs) i could see me trying it and possibly buying it... but that would be the only game i see in near furture that i may use the ea access for more than the vault...

so has anyone else gotten in on the ea access at this point?

 

Hey there causeforconcern!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention! We have passed this on to the appropriate team and we will be sure to update this thread when we have more information to provide. Thank you for your patience!

 

Thank you. I'm also curious, if I renew my subscription for a year (which I plan on doing after the $1 one month renewal), would I get EA Access straight away, or would I get EA Access in September?

 

Hey there causeforconcern!

When you get a chance, can you try clicking on the $1/EA Access promotion page on your console to see if the correct price is reflected? Be sure to let us know the results after. Thanks!

 

Hi Mister Quimby.

It still says 9.99 for 1 month. Next to that there's "Special Limited Time Offer*"

On the bottom it says "*After your first month, membership auto-renews at the then-current price (subject to change) plus applicable taxes, unless cancelled.

Do you think my Gold Membership needs to expire before I can take advantage of this deal? My XBL membership expires tomorrow.

 

Hey there causeforconcern!

Thanks for letting us know! We will go ahead and pass this on to the appropriate teams. As far as the expiration of your membership, you should still be able to access this promotion before your membership expires.

 

Thanks for looking into this. My membership to XBL will expire tomorrow. Perhaps this $1 deal will work then?

do you know if I'll get EA Access right away, or will I get it in September?

 

Well, my XBL expired. I guess it expired at midnight. I tried this promotion again and it still says 9.99 for one month.

If I use a code I buy online for a 12 month membership, will I be able to get EA Access? Or when it says "Use a code" does that mean a code for XBL dollars?

 

The promotion isn't on my dashboard anymore. I just bought a year of EA Access and I'll get a year of XBL elsewhere. I don;t think that promotion page was working properly.

 

Hey causeforconcern!

Sorry to hear that the offer is no longer available! We went ahead and let the investigating teams know that you are unable to see the offer. Keep an eye on this thread for updates. Thanks!

 

Hey again causeforconcern!

If possible, can you send me a screenshot of your Home screen? Also if you are able to capture your gamertag signed in as well, it would be helpful. Thanks!

 

Hey Mister Quimby

Here's a youtube link that shows my startup
