Xbox Live Gold Not letting me get games with gold

OK two things first if your profile isnt the one with gold but home gold that would be why

Home gold is only an Xbox one feature

If you are getting a specific error we need to know which of the 3 possible ones

If Not available in your region

Simple fix you must match your account region to your actual region if you don't live in an Xbox live region then you are out of luck

If it is asking for a payment option that's normal

For Xbox 360 bc titles you must have an Xbox 360 without a payment option or using the website or the Xbox one you must have a creditcard on file

If it is you aren't allowed to download this content

Easy fiz

The issue is your account being a child

Sign into the parent account and add gold to that account and use that account to queue it

Child accounts cannot download free m rated or nr games including games with gold

I think i figured it out, my xbox live subscription ran out between getting the game and letting it download and booting it up to play it. apparently my xbox games with gold won't let me play in between gold subscriptions. I wanted to do some single-players
while on gold hiatus for a few days, but that won't let me.

Hi so im trying to get a game from games with gold but it tells to join ultimate which my ultimate expired a couple weeks ago but i bought the 12 month xbox live gold thing but its not letting me get the free games and telling me to join ultimate or buy gold

When did you buy the 12 months Live Gold? Was it 4 months ago? I only ask as Live Gold bought whilst a GP Ultimate is active automatically changes the Gold to UGP...so 12 months Gold becomes 4 months UGP (based on price). If not, then please ignore me...just that I've seen a few recently who weren't aware Gold gets changed if a GPU is active and wondered why they had no Gold

Hi there,

Remeeming errors are usually caused by issues on the account itself. Be sure to check your billing information at
http://billing.microsoft.com and
http://account.microsoft.com/services for any outstanding amount issues.

If it's a prepaid code try redeeming the code on both xbox console and via xbox.com/redeemcodeAlso check that account , console and code region match, using different regions van cause issues too.

If you can't find anything wrong and it is still not working, best thing to do is to contact official Xbox Support via Phone or Microsoft Support Chat at
http://support.xbox.com/contact-us

That's not all either, I can't even get an Xbox Live Gold subscription without a code. Microsoft's servers are a joke.

Actually managed to activate a 2 day gold code from the Xbox One windows 10 app, and lo and behold, even with a subscription active on the account, it still doesn't let me play online, games still prompt to buy Xbox Live Gold.

This whole experience is nothing but frustration.
