Free month of gold?

I got my 360 about a week ago, and after I finished beating Gears of War I was bored so I went to go online. But when I tried to connect it said "Your Account Does Not Have Permissions To Play Online" or something along those lines. I asked my friends, they didn't know. I went to the Xbox live section under my accound and it only said Silver, So I'm just wondering if anybody knows why I didn't get my free month. Could it have been because I made my account/gamercard before I got my xbox?

Thanks.

re: Free month of gold?

Was that the first time you ever tried playing online before or have you been able to play online with other people before this happened?

If it was your first time, then you probably didn't activate the one month thing correctly. Xbox 360's come with three free one-month trial accounts. When you create a new account on your Xbox (not on Xbox.com) you can choose whether you want a Silver or Gold account. If you choose Silver, and your Xbox came with the free gold accounts, then it will ask you if you would like to use one of them. You can't use all three one-month trials on the same account, it has to be three different accounts.

Okay, I made my account on xbox.com.

So I'm guessing I would have to make another account on my account xbox in order to get the free months?

Yeah. Just choose Silver, and then it should ask you if you would like to use one of the trials.

Your free Xbox live SILVER doesnt allow for online gaming. Only allows for downloads. If you go through the same setup of when you setup your account for your free SILVER account it should give you the option to upgrade to GOLD for 1 month. Im currently on my free month

It took me probably twenty minutes. You probably have the IQ of a toaster.

Joking aside, you have to create your profile on your X360 to receive the free month of gold.

re: Free month of gold?

To clarify, I had the same issue.

If you do not register your Gamertag on your Xbox and register it beforehand on Xbox.com then you will not receive a free month of gold on that account nor will Microsoft attempt to give you the free month on the pre-made account.

I never got a free month and I have gold and I am paying yearly (it runs out in December).
