How to get free Xbox Live in 3 simple steps

Have you been looking for a free subscription to Xbox Live? Well, get in line. There are a few ways to get a subscription, but honestly, most of them are scams. If you are redirected to another page or asked about your personal information, chances are, you’re being duped and it is most likely a scam.

Here are a few legitimate ways to get Xbox Live for free.

1. Free trial cards included in certain games: Some games include a pre-paid card for either two, three, or 14-day Xbox Live trial. Most multiplayer focused games included these cards, like Destiny 2 or Call of Duty WWII. Some people even trade in their old games with deactivated cards in them, so picking up a used copy may be a good gamble.
2. Free Xbox Live weekends: Microsoft often hosts weekends that don’t allow Xbox Live. You can always check Xbox’s home page to look for Free Play Days.
3. Microsoft Rewards: The easiest, and the best way to saving long-term on Xbox Live subscriptions.

Microsoft Rewards gives you points for using Microsoft’s numerous services. You can go to the Microsoft Rewards page to sign up using your Microsoft account and start earning points. You can earn points by answering surveys, searching on Microsoft Edge, and more. It costs 7,000 points for one month, so start saving!

These are some methods that you can utilize to get a free Xbox Live subscription, but if we’re missing anything, please be sure to let us know in the comments below.
