    I don't see it mentioned anywhere that you have to be a new member?
    *To qualify for this offer, you must purchase a one month LIVE Gold subscription from one of the links in this email between 9am GMT, 21 June 2011 and 11.59pm GMT, 27 June 2011. After the promotional 1 month, your membership will automatically renew to a one month membership at the then-current price unless you change your renewal or cancel before your membership ends. You may choose to change your renewal options by contacting the customer service team via http://www.xbox.com/support. Offer not valid for membership cards bought via retail. Pricing details can be viewed in the Account Management area of your gamer profile. This offer expires 11.59pm GMT, 27 June 2011. Not combinable with other Microsoft offers.

    If you do not wish to receive marketing emails from Xbox, please update your contact preferences on My Xbox or reply to this email with "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the subject line. We will promptly update your contact preferences; however, please be aware that it may take up to 10 days before your preferences are reflected in our system. You may still receive previously initiated promotional communications from Xbox during that time.

    Also unlikely that they'll delete your gamertag, there have been several other deals recently along these lines, and I haven't heard of anyone getting into trouble over them.

    Edit: No mention of only valid for new users at the purchase screen either.

    Yeah there was a similar one posted here last month iirc. I managed to get 5 months out of that for €1 a month as well and my account hasn't been banned/deleted yet.

    I'll let ya'll know if my account gets banned/deleted in the next few days :p

    I had a conversation vith xbox support on twitter about this offer. I signed up to it a couple of times. They say you shouldn't be able to use this offer multiple times...

    Also mentioned something about "not recommend breaking terms of use", which I think was just trying to scare me from using the offer multiple times.

    Nice find OP!

    Why would you loose your gamertag and GS?? I got the email to my email address that I have used for 4 -5 years for my Gamertag on xbox live, so I dont get how this could cause you to loose your tag and GS.

    anyone else get this now?

    Uh oh... that shouldn't have happened.

    It appears you've found a glitch in the system.

    Obviously you did. The guy on twitter hasn't got a big red button to shut down the offer. However we don't want to bring it to their attention and have him pass it along the line so that it gets patched up, now do we.

    This action cannot be performed at this time. Please try again later. For more information, go to http://www.xbox.com/support.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,784 ✭✭✭im...LOST

    Did you get it to work?

    When it says ''your name'' you've purchased a gold 1 month for €1 dont click next, just go back and click the tab that the op linked to and rinse and repeat.

    No. I can't pay even for one. It goes to a summary page with €1 gold membership selected, hit next and error.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 291 ✭✭Popple3


    I got one month, now I'm getting
    Registration Closed

    This offer is no longer available.
    :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29 NoRegrets

    Do it via your Paypal account, you can cancel the agreement, NOT via the Xbox account.

    Got a message there while trying to order saying that the offer is no longer available.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,345 ✭✭✭jamescd


    Yeah it's gone now. Should have been a bit quicker ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    Is it gone completely? I didn't even get my legitimate 1 month for a euro! Thought they said it was on til the 27th?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,359 ✭✭✭Access

    Yes, mainly because some people contacted Xbox/microsoft to inform them about their mistake of allowing multi ordering.

    :mad:

    Think this needs to be closed now before i find my pitchfork and join the other villagers for a riot!

    I think the implied facepalm with appropriate caption might be apt for the conversation had with XBL support:

    This is along the lines of a bank ATM giving out €50 notes instead of the €20 you selected and some muppet goes into the bank to inform management without thinking.

    :mad:

    Please mods, close this before i smash the place up with anger! :)

    Only managed this the once. Rang up then to tun off auto renewal and was offered a 12 month subscription for 40% off. Would have taken up the offer only i haven't touched live for ages. They still offered to give me the month to take them up on the offer though.

    Or because those who simply wanted to avail of the one month subscription offer for €1 were unable to because a poster took advantage of a bug on the offer, reports it, and then it seemed as though the whole promotion was pulled entirely!

    Unfortunately it doesn't look like my pitchfork is going to get any action as the offer is up and running again so no harm done.

    /facepalm at the facespam

    ye the offer is back on but you cant get it if you already have xbox live, before you could sign into your account and add to your current xbox live

    Xbox Live
    This promotional offer is not available

    Thank you for your interest in the promotion. Based on your current Xbox LIVE membership, the subscription offer that you are trying to access is not applicable at this time. Please click the “OK” button to see available subscription offers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,719 ✭✭✭cronos


    The offer looks like it's back on for me. I'm currently a free member rather than a gold member though. Is it still possible to get multiple 1 euro per month memberships and string them together. Like buy 24 one month memberships to cover 2 years for example.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54 ✭✭ForzaSaints


    Lads does anyone want to sell me a month or two of these?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,115 ✭✭✭Completionist


    Lads does anyone want to sell me a month or two of these?
