Xbox live trial not working

WizardOfAwes23 · Nov 18, 2014

I just bought my Xbone 2 weeks ago. It comes with 2 14 day trials. The first one worked just fine. I go to type in the new one today and it's saying the code is wrong. Any way to fix this or get a new code?

Bought console with 14day live gold trial which never worked. Known issue affects so many.

What do you mean by the trial not working?

Trials do not give you a full gold membership,they only give you limited access to some xbox live gold features & a lot of games will not let you play online with a trial.

A lot of people do not realise this & think that the trial is not working when in fact it is.

48h trial malfunction

Trials only give you limited access to some xbox live gold features.

Some games will not let you play online multiplayer with trials,you would need a full gold membership.

There's nothing to fix,the trials are working how they should.

Hello,

Sorry to see that you are having this issue. You can't have a current Xbox Gold Membership to use a trail. Also, make sure that the first trial is completely over before trying the next one otherwise it will not allow you to redeem it. Please try to use
the code online:
account.xbox.com/.../RedeemCode

The trials that came with the system and the games I got with it for Xbox Live, DO NOT WORK!!!. Is anyone else having these issues? I have not had a problem as far as bonus game dlc just Xbox Live Trial codes.

Hello Cianka,

that is why unable to get the backward compatible games. They will not work with the 14 day trial unfortunately. In this link

describing Xbox live gold there is a section explains the trials.

With an Xbox Live Gold 2- to 14-day trial, you can get Xbox One Games with Gold, and discounted Gold deals.

If it was a one month trial you could get the backward compatible games.

Thanks,

Brad

Hello

Unfortunately it is intended that Trials do not stack
with existing memberships. It's also mentioned on the support page Xbox Live Gold trial memberships

Notes

The Xbox Live Gold trial membership is associated with a single gamertag.

You can't add an Xbox Live Gold trial membership to an existing membership.

Only three trial accounts are available per console. This limitation cannot be reset.

After a user has created three trial accounts on their console, the user no longer receives a message that provides the opportunity to create an Xbox Live Gold trial account.

To sign up for the Xbox Live Gold trial membership, you must add a payment method to your account.

This also works in a vice versa way meaning that if you have a trial membership it will be lost if you purchase a gold membership
