Xbox trial redemption problem

Recently redeemed 48-hour trial code that came supplied with the gears of war bundle,/rare replay and ori did not receive any of the benefits of live, I couldn't (and still can't) play online nor start a party and was constantly pestered into the gold promo

:)

 

Unable to redeem XBOX Live Gold Membership card code.

For those of you with a similar problem - problem solved

I got an error message on Xbox (360) entering a redemption code with a 12 month Live subscription - got an error message that the code was not valid.

I got a spinning green xBox logo (waiting) on xbox.com when attempting the same redemption. I updated to the latest version of Silverlight (on a Mac) but still got the spinning logo and eventually (if I waited) I got an inactionable server error message.

Although I thought the problem was with the redemption card I purchased over the Internet, it was actually because I had a paypal account loaded from years ago when I set up the xBox and had a trial Gold account. Once I removed the Paypal account from my
profile, I was able to move past the spinning green logo on xbox.com and get to the redemption screens. The code worked the first time.

Microsoft XBOX team - please correct this problem, it's clearly a bug both on the Xbox Live code redemption screens and from xbox.com

 

"Now you Have Xbox Live 2 day Trial for xbox 360". Not Working In xbox One.

Not necessarily, may it be trial code or regular Gold subscription redemption code, it's not console specific since these codes are universal code. So you can redeem it on Xbox One or Xbox 360 console.

 

Bad news about those 2-day trials. They only work on brand new accounts that have never had gold before... Not my policy or rule. Just giving you the bad news. =(

 

@FunkyForestFrog - Trials will work on any account that does not currently have gold. It doesn't matter if you've ever had gold before.

 

I have the same problem. Entered the code for a 2 gold trial to enable cloud storage but console not accepting as a gold account. Xbox 360 account has already had a gold account which now has run out haven't renewed as have a one now and wanted to transfer
games to one through cloud.

 

Cloud storage won't work with a 2 day gold trial. Requires at least a full month of Xbox Live Gold.

If you have Gold on the One you also have Gold on the 360 if you log into the console with the account that has Gold. Buy a month of Gold on the One and use that to load save games into the cloud and access them from the Xbox One. Backward compatible games
won't transfer, they need to be downloaded to Xbox One from within My Games and Apps.
