If you create your gamertag on your console then you automatically get a 1 month Gold trial, as long as it is one of the first 3 gamertags created on that console. If you want to create a gamertag without the gold trial then you can create your gamertag on xbox.com. However there is no way to activate a free 1 month trial on a gamertag created on xbox.com Another alternative is just to keep using an offline profile until you do want to go online. But you have to get the account creation right here - there is an option to transfer your offline profile into the gamertag you create, but this can only be done at the time you create the gamertag. If you get that stage wrong then you cannot merge your profile with your gamertag. Much easier and safer just to create a gamertag and use that
