Mangel: Allow me a minute to review your concern.
JOSHUA: I played Halo:The Master Chief Collection starting on November 15th and played often through Christmas Eve. I have noticed that they gave everyone their free month of Gold Thursday and Friday but I never received mine. I am off work this weekend and I really want to play some Halo but my Live just ran out. When might I get my free month so I can keep playing?
JOSHUA: Sure take your time :)
Mangel: Hello Joshua, nice to meet you.
Mangel: Thank you for sharing the details of your concern.

Mangel: I was able to gather my resources with regards to the make good offer, here's the details below:
Mangel: Halo: Master Chief Collection Make - Good offer:
Mangel: On 12/19/2014 Bonnie Ross, studio head for 343 Industries, announced details of a make-good offer for Halo: Master Chief Collection (HMCC) players. Customers who played HMCC while connected to Xbox Live between 11/11/2014 and 12/19/2014  are eligible to receive an in-game nameplate, in-game avatar, one month of Xbox Live Gold, and additional Halo content in the spring. Full details of the make-good program, including eligibility information, are available in a FAQ posted at Halo Waypoint.
Mangel: Player’s in-game nameplate and avatar will be provided automatically via the game itself starting In December 2014. Additional messaging and codes for one month of Gold will be distributed via console messaging starting in mid-January – more details on the process will be relayed to agents at that time. Information on distribution of additional content will also be communicated closer to the launch date. 
Mangel: With regards to the make good offer being given, we have a special and dedicated department that can provide the information and option to you Joshua. They can be referred on the link you've provided and the other link below:

JOSHUA: Is there anything I can do to get Gold even for like one or two days?
JOSHUA: Until my code comes?
Mangel: I totally understand the gravity of the situation and the urgency for the make good offer Joshua.
Mangel: I really appreciate all your effort in playing this game and acquiring the achievements.
JOSHUA: lolI just want to play Halo on my day off
Mangel: But with regards to the promotional offer, it is being handled with a special team and has the tools and resources to send the offers.

JOSHUA: I have spent thousands of dollars on Halo and related items
JOSHUA: Can I get even a 24 hour code?
Mangel: If only I have the tools and resources to manually generate the offer then I would have done that specially from a valuable customer like you.
JOSHUA: To play today?
JOSHUA: Heck, even 12 hours lol
JOSHUA: I have never, ever, ever asked for anything like thias from MS
JOSHUA: ever
Mangel: As much as I would love to gave you that my friend, but that is not an option here in my end.
JOSHUA: It IS an option, but your guidelines tell you it is not an option in this case
Mangel: The only best thing to do is refer on the forums to get what you deserve as our valuable customer here in Xbox.
