Xbox live gold : wrong payment

I wanted to try the 1 month free xbox live on my account ($0.00), so when I tried to add it to my account, it asked for a payment option. When I added my Paypal account and accepted the offer, I went on ''Services & subscriptions" and it says 9,99
$ on 6/1/2016. I'm really confused, what should I do?

How to Manage your Xbox LIVE payment options

Overview
