As soon as your profile is complete, you get 100% of everything. I think there's a limit to the number of free trials, though (six, I think). If you don't get one then maybe the previous owner already exhausted all of them.

How do I ''complete'' my profile?  Also, I have an HDD 20GB.

Sign in.  Look at your Avatar.  It should say Xbox Live Gold under your recently played games.  When you made your profile, it should have asked you for your info.  If you didn't do any of that, just press the "Guide" button (That big, silver button in the middle of your controller) and choose "Join Xbox Live".  Fill in the blanks.  You should be Gold, automatically.  I think you can repeat this process six times but you'll have to make a new profile each time.  That's six free months per console......but since your console is used, you may have anywhere from five to zero free months. 

And, again, I'm not sure how many profiles can get the free month.  I think it's the first six.  After that, everybody is automatically silver.  I'm actually amazed that you're having trouble.  My 11 year old nephew made a profile and he's an idiot.
