Hi all,

My first deal but thought I would share.

Like all of you I've been waiting for these £1 for 1 month's of xbox live gold subscriptions to come back. However, there doesn't seem to be any sign of these aside from the odd few.

Anyway, I tried the technique to attempt to install the Internet explorer app from the dashboard to hopefully then be offered the deal of £1. However, after clicking through to the accept page it just brought up the standard prices.

When I cancelled this, it brought up a statement along the lines of "are you sure? Well, here's a free 1 months trial".

So, nothing major but free for a month ain't too bad.

Remember, you have to have a SILVER membership to upgrade.

Edit:- Everyone remember to switch off Auto renewal in your account settings!

    it doesnt work for me

    You need to select the IE and then keep clicking through i.e. yes i want gold etc, then just select no thanks when it asks you to choose a gold package

    Any idea where in my xbox account i can turn auto renewal off?Thanks:)



    Logon to your xbox live account via the website, click on my account in the top right hand corner, you will see the option to change automatic renewal in a big grey box.

    GREAT! Have just done this! THANK YOU!

    Click on the internet explorer Icon, then get going until you see the 6 boxes with the gold prices in, click the bottom right one that says "no thanks" then you get the 1 month free trail prompt.

    You need a payment method but if you have PayPal then use that.

    legend.. this worked for me after i figured out how to get all the way through the menus to the payment screen... That's the 'no thanks' you need...

    thanks Lambi and Iceman..!

    it asks all sort of stuff from paypal, what if next month I get charged automatically for a subscription? That's basically what it's saying at the end

    Please read my original post. Go to your account settings at Xbox.com, turn off auto renewal.

    Must have done something wrong.....

    I selected the IE app on the dash it then said I needed GOLD so I went through the menus choosing the standard GOLD not the family version then at the very end I choose NO THANKS and the screen just went back to the original page ????? No offer - nothing ???
  19. The.Crew.Designs's avatar
    Even just asked on the online chat to see if I could get a free go and the answer was a 'NO'
  20. deleted386257's avatar
    Didn't work for me, have to wait for my amazon Xbox to be delivered!

    so it seems to work for some but not others. ....strange
  22. Jaffo's avatar
    Worked a treat. Thanks!
  23. The.Crew.Designs's avatar
    I have tried it a couple more times and every time when I click 'No Thanks' it just goes back to the original page saying I have to have gold to use IE ?? - no mention at all of a free trial
  24. noxide's avatar
    Just tried this and it worked! many thanks.
    Had to go through saying I wanted to sign up for gold , then hit no thanks at the last step.. you will need to have a card registered though.

    Excellent. Thanks.

    I did look there originally and it wasn't there. So don't panic if it doesn't appear straight away after signing up for a month!

    After doing some digging it wasn't. It was under the 1 pound for 1 month deal. No thread specifically for free one month.

    I got this by accident last night. I'm really not impressed with Microsoft requiring a live subscription for anything other than the store. If I pay £6.99 a month for Netflix, why should I pay even more if I don't play MP games? That's why I do all my media watching on my PS3.
