Greetings everyone, I just noticed this over at Chollometro and it seems to be available to everyone now (not just Insiders) as per this post.

However, it seems like if you have an active subscription of Xbox Live Gold, activating this deal will give you an extra month on your subscription, plus it will give you the Xbox Game Pass up until that date according to commenters in Chollometro.

The purchase of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate automatically upgrades your Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass memberships.

From what I can tell so far, if you want to take up this offer it might be worthwhile extending your Xbox Live / Xbox Game Pass membership before taking up the offer. As the conversion after taking up this offer seems to be worse than before taking up the offer.

You can recharge up to a maximum of 36 months.

Get all the benefits of Xbox Live Gold, plus over 100 high-quality console and PC games for one low monthly price. With games added all the time, there’s always something new to play. With a huge variety of games from every genre, there’s something for everyone. Enjoy exclusive member deals and discounts. Play together with friends on the most advanced multiplayer network and discover your next favourite game.

Use your active Xbox Game Pass Ultimate plan membership to play games on Xbox One and Windows 10 PC. The Ultimate plan includes the Xbox Game Pass Console Games plan, the Xbox Game Pass PC Games plan (Xbox Game Pass PC Games plan not available in South Korea and Turkey) and Xbox Live Gold.

Note: Purchase of the Ultimate plan automatically upgrades your existing Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass membership(s) to Ultimate at a conversion ratio each based on days remaining. Learn how this works at www.xbox.com/gamepass. Future code redemptions are also subject to a conversion ratio. Conversion ratio subject to change. All conversions to Ultimate are final: Once converted, you cannot re-convert your Ultimate membership back to a previous membership. Maximum 36 months of redeemed Ultimate per account at a time, including any converted time from Xbox Live Gold and/or Xbox Game Pass (for PC or console).

    I currently have 14 months of Xbox Live Gold. Will I get 14 months of Xbox Game Pass for $1?

    That's almost how I understand it

    • doweyy on 09/06/2019 - 20:28

      From what I've been reading, that's how I understand it, check this comment:

      I had:
      Gold until December 2019 (bought with code, not directly to Microsoft or with automatic renewal)
      Game Pass until July 2019 (with the promo that came out of three months pulled price, I subscribed and immediately canceled the subscription to avoid future charges )

      What this purchase has done was:
      Unsubscribe "Gold" and convert it to "Ultimate" by adding one more month, that is, now it expires in January 2020 with the advantage that Game Pass games are also included until that date (7 more months for the face)

      Of course, the first thing I did was go to account management and cancel the automatic renewal so that they do not charge € 12.99 per month as of January 2020.

      • Suspect420 on 09/06/2019 - 20:29

        Wow. Sounds to good to be true!

    • doweyy on 09/06/2019 - 20:35

      Nice! Do you reckon if you extended your Xbox live it would add more months onto the ultimate or nah?

      • theguyrules on 09/06/2019 - 20:42

        I just tried with Game Pass, see my comment below.

        • doweyy on 09/06/2019 - 20:48

          Thanks for the update! Seems like a weird system, but probably better off extending the current subscription before taking up Game Pass Ultimate from what I can tell to get the most value?

          • theguyrules on 09/06/2019 - 20:49

            @doweyy: Looks like it. I will save my code until my ultimate expires, and then see if I can redeem and then convert it.

    It's better to get a 1-month game pass for $1 if you don't have it. GamePass

    Then get 1 month ultimate.
    So, you'll get 2 months ultimate for $2.

    Thanks for the deal OP

    The Ultimate plan includes the Xbox Game Pass Console Games plan, the Xbox Game Pass PC Games plan

    Probably should have Xbox/PC in title

  • theguyrules on 09/06/2019 - 20:40

    FYI: I had a 1 month GamePass code laying around, I just redeemed it after subscribing to Xbox Gold Ultimate and it said:

    Redeeming your 1-Month Xbox Game Pass code will automatically convert to 20 days of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and will be added to your current Xbox Game Pass Ultimate account. By redeeming this code, you agree to this conversion.

    So maybe Xbox Gold and Game Pass codes convert as a 20 days per 1 month ratio?

    • Radiant on 09/06/2019 - 20:51

      Oh! I have two 3 month coupons with me. Converted to Ultimate but haven't redeemed yet.

      • theguyrules on 09/06/2019 - 20:52

        See what they offer you. You have the chance to cancel before you redeem anyway.

    • Radiant on 09/06/2019 - 20:51

      Redeeming your Prepaid Xbox Live Gold 3-Month code will automatically convert to 1 month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and will be added to your current Xbox Game Pass Ultimate account.
      It's 3: 1 now?

      • theguyrules on 09/06/2019 - 21:11

        Maybe gold is valued higher.
        Oh I misread that. Gold is lower?

      • Awsam on 09/06/2019 - 21:32

        Are you redeeming AFTER getting Ultimate and getting 3:1?
        I'm confused..
        My GOld sub has expired so,
        I buy 12month Gold, redeem now.
        THEN buy the $1 Ultimate.
        Will that convert the 12month gold to 13months of Ultimate?

        • Radiant on 09/06/2019 - 21:34
          +3

          Yes, I was doing it AFTER, stupid me.

          If u buy 12 month gold now and then ultimate, you'll get 13 mothns of ultimate

          • Awsam on 09/06/2019 - 21:35

            @Radiant: Thanks so much for clearing that up for me

  • bigkris74 on 09/06/2019 - 20:49

    So … I have about 5 months Xbox Gold credit and 13 Months Game Pass credit. Am I correct in assuming that will stack to give me around 18 months Ultimate credit + 1 extra month free? Don't care about the 1 month extra credit, just don't want to lose my already paid for subscription credits.

    Thanks in advance.

    • theguyrules on 09/06/2019 - 20:50

      Yeah, that's right.

    • Danstar on 09/06/2019 - 21:05

      So did you convert?

      I have an account with 12 months gold
      And 5 months game pass.

      Will that mean I’ll grt 18 months ultimate if I convert ?

      • Radiant on 09/06/2019 - 21:24
        +1

        This was what xbox support said "We have a good deal that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will convert all the remaining Xbox Live Gold + Game Pass to Ultimate one the first time you get it. After that, if you redeem the Xbox or Live Gold code, it will be converted to Ultimate with a fixed rate. "

        So for the first time yes you'll get 18 months

        • GossipGoat on 09/06/2019 - 21:59

          So I already have game pass cause I only play on PC but if I buy lets say 6 months of more game pass and then redeem this I will get 6 months of ultimate?

          Would be good to play on the xbox from time to time

          • Radiant on 09/06/2019 - 23:45

            @GossipGoat: I believe yes. According to Xbox Support, The first time when you convert, each month of Xbox live or game pass will be considered as 1 month of Ultimate and since you are purchasing it you'll get 1 month extra.
            i.e. if you have 1 month each of Xbox live and game pass right now and you purchase the $1 deal, then you'll get 3 months of ultimate.

      If you add 3 month gold and have 2 months of game pass ten you'll get 6 months of ultimate as you are purchasing 1 month with $1.

      See if there’s any deals for cheap Gold and Game Pass on your dashboard first.

  • SlappersOnly on 09/06/2019 - 22:32

    So weird. I just went to download Astroneer and the store says I purchased it 18/05/19 which is not true and there is no billing history of me buying it. Lol?

  • manbearpig on 09/06/2019 - 22:48

    So from reading the comments, it seems like once you have Xbox Live Ultimate, you're stuck on that subscription, and topping up with Xbox Live Gold subscriptions will convert it to Xbox Live Ultimate at a certain rate. If that's the case, does that mean you won't ever be able to go back to a normal Gold subscription? I'd want to go back to a normal Gold subscription as I'm not interested in Ultimate (only this one time with this deal).

    • TheRealCher on 09/06/2019 - 23:10

      The way I read it it means your subscription that you traded in can never be reverted back to. But I am not a lawyer, just a humble bikie…

      • Morbo66 on 10/06/2019 - 00:38

        This is what I'd be worried about. I have no real interest in Game Pass, and would not want to lose my future Gold membership through this deal.

        • Tambani on 10/06/2019 - 00:51
          +1

          There won't be a future gold membership. This is the precursor to them eventually shutting down Gold and Game Pass.

      • SlappersOnly on 10/06/2019 - 00:52
        +5

        That’s 3 years into the future me’s problem

    • Smigit on 10/06/2019 - 02:50

      Thats not how I read it. I interpret it as, if you convert 12 months of Gold and 12 months of Game Pass to 24 months worth of Ultimate, you can't turn around and say you want to cancel Ultimate and have the 12 months for each service reinstated into seperate services. Most people wouldn't want to do that but say you jump on this offer with only 12 months of Gold and decided you should have bought more before hand to get more Ultimate, you can't convert back to a Gold sub, buy another 48 months of Gold, then take this offer up again. You have to serve out the subscription (which you've paid for anyway) and afterwards if you want you could cancel and sign up with one of the individual services if you wish.

      Basically the conversion of existing credit is one way, they won't convert ultimate allowance to Gold or Game Pass.

  • TezBiAn on 09/06/2019 - 22:53

    What a legend! Thanks so much for this. Bought additional live gold and then used this to upgrade.

    Unless the date shown in the “My subscription” is USA format (month/day/year), my account is showing I’ve got Game Pass Ultimate till 2/11/2022. I thought the maximum conversion is 36 months though? Not complaining.

    • ransworld on 09/06/2019 - 22:56

      Yeah, it's the US date format. Mine says "6/9/2022" after the upgrade, which is exactly 36 months from now.

      • TezBiAn on 09/06/2019 - 22:59

        Ahh ok that makes more sense. Thanks.

    • bigkris74 on 09/06/2019 - 22:57

      It is USA format, so you got about 32 months.

    • chromium on 09/06/2019 - 23:53

      Lucky you. I rushed to convert when it was only available to insiders and all this info about adding codes afterwards wasn't known. I quickly converted thinking the deal would only be around for a limited time and now they have opened it to everyone and much more information is known about conversion ratios when you add codes after converting to Ultimate

  • chromium on 09/06/2019 - 23:50

    I converted to Game Pass Ultimate as an insider a few weeks ago, I only had around a year of Gold left.

    Didn't know at the time that I wouldn't be able to add codes after and get the full amount of months.

    Looks like I needn't have bothered rushing to convert seeing as anyone can do it now! Only ended up subbed until July 2020 :(

    Does this also mean that we can never go back to just Gold? I don't want to me stuck on Game Pass Ultimate forever! Hopefully once it expires we can

    would it be smarter to buy a 12 month game pass subscription? it seems to be going for 54 dollars on ebay

    • ransworld on 10/06/2019 - 01:15

      Are you sure that's for a Game Pass subscription? ~$54 is a typical price for 12 months of Xbox Live Gold through key re-sellers. Game Pass is usually sold as a 1 month subscription only.

      • bigmanlukaku on 10/06/2019 - 02:51

        on ebay, there are some uk sellers who are selling 12 month subscriptions. They came as 24 14-day codes and I can confirm that the UK codes work fine on australian accounts and this deal worked successfully. It cost 51 dollars for 12 membership which is pretty nice!

  • smifter on 10/06/2019 - 01:29

    Cheers Doweyy…
    - Had Gold and Game Pass, each expiring Jan 2020.
    - Purchased 12 Month Live from cdkeys for $72 (the most I've ever paid but still reasonable value at $6.00/month.)
    - Made sure recurring billing off, applied 12 month Live code, got 13 months (one month free for turning on auto billing)
    - Game Pass still expiring Jan 2020, Gold now expiring Feb 2021.
    - Joined Ultimate for $1, which combined my current memberships, adding together total months membership still open, plus 1 month Ultmate purchased (20 + 7 + 1 = 28).
    - Ultimate now set to expire October 2021.

    Awesome deal.

    Wow…thanks for sharing OP. Truly an awesome deal if your an Xbox user who has some months a gold subscription months in advance.

    Took up the offer in a whim whilst I was out thinking it may have been an error but now wish I had read the comments in advance. I'm wanting to add a few more months to make the most of this offer but seems pointless to buy a 12 month Gold membership as it will now be converted to 4 months of Ultimate? So I'm better off buying a 6 or 12 months of Gamepass instead. Other then Cdkeys, are there any other places to get them cheap?

    My only concern with this is that they could potentially charge more for the service if standard Xbox Live Gold is eliminated and they stop selling/making Xbox Live codes! Forcing all users (who want to play online) to this subscription eventually in time.

      Yeah I made the same mistake of converting early. Oh well.

    I wonder when this will expire? Rather wait for a deal on 12 month gold and then do this.
