was given a 1 month gold membership token but cant redeem it

same problem here. i bought my unit in dubai with 1 month gold membership but cant redeem.

If you have a new console you are allotted 3 x 1 month free trials (only 1 per gamertag). These are given by creating a gamertag on the console and then choosing Join Live from the dashboard. You will be given the option of signing up for a gold membership
or not.

When you choose the option not to sign up for a membership you will be given your 1 month trial.

Hello ManuelJura

This is because when you change your gold subscription to gamepass ultimate, the service agreement indicates that once you subscribe to the service, you cannot go back to the previous one, that is, you can no longer have gold because you changed the service
to game pass ultimate. It also tells you that you can continue to redeem Gold memberships and they will be automatically converted to Gamepass Ultimate memberships using a conversion table.

The token indicates ... You get ... 1 month gold 20 days of Ultimate

3 months gold 50 days of Ultimate

6 months gold 79 days of Ultimate

12 months gold 4 months of Ultimate

24 months of gold 8 months of Ultimate.

You can redeem your code in another account and that does not have a gamepass and you can enjoy 12 months of gold with your account as long as it is in the same console and this one acts as the main console in the account that has the GOLD membership

No. I have only 26 months of Xbox Live gold membership until 2022.04.20..

1 month in xbox one x jedi bundle, 12 months in annual membership, 12 months in redeem code, +1 bonus? month.. total 26 months..

sorry for my poor english

Indeed, token stacking works on a recent-first basis. The most recent membership you purchase or redeem is what is consumed first. If you have 3 weeks remaining on a 12-Month membership, and you redeem a 3-Month prepaid card, then after 3 months, those
remaining 3 weeks kick back in and it's business as usual. Peculiarly, if you have a 1-Month membership set to auto-renew, and you redeem a prepaid code, it will turn off automatic renewal. In other cases, if you had a renewing membership, but you turned
off auto-renewal, and you then redeem a prepaid card, this can turn your auto-renewal back on, as the prepaid card tells the system that you're not interested in canceling afterall. Therefore, it's always a good idea to go to Xbox.com/account after you've
set up your Gold, to make sure that the automatic renewal is in the state in which you desire it to be, on or off.
