Xbox Live Gold Account

I think this is just horrible. Today my son tried to log into his gamer tag and was denied saying his gold membership was expired. We play together all the time (some good father son time). I signed up for a family account and made him a child. Now,
Microsoft as disconnected the gold accounts and his is expired, while mine is still valid, for how long I don’t know. I think it is terrible for MS to discontinue the use of family accounts. I have three children and now I will have to pay for each one individually.
MS just devalued my purchase by 80%. I used to get 5 family members for $59. And I will have to pay 118 for two. MS I hope you go by the way of NetFlix. It is absolutely horrible for you do this to families.

How to Join Xbox LIVE

This is the final step before you start enjoying the most amazing entertainment experience on Xbox LIVE.

The process is free and easy to follow.

You only require an valid email address and a high-speed internet connection.

There are two Membership levels available: Free and Gold. You can read more about what you get with each membership level.

Before proceeding, confirm the following:

If you have a Zune or Games for Windows LIVE account, it means you already have an Xbox LIVE account! All you have to do is to download the account to your Xbox 360 console, sign in and start enjoying the Xbox LIVE experience.

If you have a Microsoft account, you can use it for your Xbox LIVE account.
Note: "Microsoft account" refers to what was formerly "Windows Live ID". It is the email address and password you need to sign into Microsoft services (including Xbox LIVE).

This means that if you already have a Messenger or Hotmail account, you automatically have a Microsoft account.

So, during registration for Xbox LIVE, if you are asked for an email address, enter your Microsoft account.

If you don't have a Microsoft account, you can sign up for a free account on your computer, or during the signing in process for Xbox LIVE.

If you decide to go for Gold Membership, you should have your credit card information ready before proceeding with the process of signing up for Xbox LIVE.

Steps to follow

1) On your controller, press Guide then select Join Xbox LIVE.

2) Follow the instructions on the screen on how to sign up for Xbox LIVE.

Note: Make sure that you enter your correct date of birth when signing up. This will be used to determine whether you get a child account or an adult account. Once the account is created, you cannot change the date of birth.

If you are on your laptop for at least 10 mins a day, you should try bing rewards. All you have to do is go here www.bing.com/.../rewards
and search for random things. When you start out you get 15 points for 30 searches... Right now I am getting 30 points a day plus 10 more for mobile searches. I usually get $5 xbox live digital gift card every 10 days. You can also get other rewards like xbox
live 1 months or to places like applebees, burger king, toys r us, etc....

I just wanted to share this with you guys and also it would help me out if you used my referral link and reach up to silver status. Thank you

 

@Waldo the cost of the family plan was never $59.

@GMG impossible to get a $5 every 10 days. With the exception of this last week you'd get maybe 26-30 credits a day combined with PC/mobile searches which still puts you short of 455 credits.
