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).

    Got myself from Game Pass ending in 11/19 to now ending in 7/21 in-line with my GOld :)

    Not a bad deal

  • Stinge Master on 10/06/2019 - 07:17

    Assuming you can turn off the recurring billing for the game pass ultimate?

    • theguyrules on 10/06/2019 - 07:31

      Definitely can, yep.

  • yojabbajabba on 10/06/2019 - 07:47

    Many thanks OP! I now have game pass until July 2021 thanks to this find :)

    Alright, so anyone who redeemed too early and has regrets, you CAN cancel your Game Pass Ultimate, forfeiting whatever you currently have, then go back and stock up on Gold and Game Pass subscriptions, then resubscribe for $1 and get it converted.

    I forfeited 2 months of Ultimate to buy 25 months for ~$125AUD.

    • cheepo on 10/06/2019 - 08:49

      Do you mind running through the steps on how you did that? I know there's a cancel option under My Account > Services And Subscription > Xbox Gamepass Ultimate…but wouldn't you forfeit your Gold subscription also?

      • theguyrules on 10/06/2019 - 08:52

        Yeah that's what I used.
        I only had Ultimate until August due to only having 1 month Gold and no game pass, so I opted to forfeit that so that I could get more Ultimate for cheap.

        • cheepo on 10/06/2019 - 09:00

          Nice. Definately worth it in your case and would have done the same if I had only only converted a few months. Good to know that you can revert back after all (to standard Gold). Will now do the same when my current subscription ends - unless we get a similar deal to this (unlikely though).

    • Brooksby on 10/06/2019 - 12:56

      Whats best to stock up on. I assume its game pass

      • theguyrules on 10/06/2019 - 13:02

        Whatever is cheapest, which seems to be Gold Pass at the moment.

  • Nsimao on 10/06/2019 - 08:38

    Dont even bother with cdkeys now for xbox live membersbip…they are charging more than the Microsoft site…it was $69 yesterday and now up to $80…

    Found this deal (currently $69.38), has anyone ordered from them before and would this key work in Australia (says multi..but want to be sure):

      The best deal for this is grabbing 12 months Game Pass on eBay for around $60. They send 26 x 14-day codes. Takes a while to redeem but you get 1 year of Ultimate for $60.

      This is who I used. It got sent by message like 2 min after paying.

      • thisisnotmyrealname on 10/06/2019 - 09:07

        Just did the same. The serials were sent less than 2 mins later by email.

        I changed my address to some random one in Great Britain to avoid GST.

        E.g. 83 Upper St, London, N1 0NU

        I paid $56 AUD each year.

        • theguyrules on 10/06/2019 - 09:08

          Oh, smart. Would have saved me $12.

          Enjoy redeeming all the codes though. Takes a while. Microsoft’s site is sloooowwww

        • scar4ace on 10/06/2019 - 13:05

          cheers mate, love ozb!!

      • Scribbles on 10/06/2019 - 09:54

        So you received 24 codes digitally?

        • theguyrules on 10/06/2019 - 09:55

          26 actually, as 26 x 14 days is 364 days.

          I actually got 52 cause I bought 2 years worth, woo.

          • Scribbles on 10/06/2019 - 10:01

            @theguyrules: Ooooo, did you receive the codes on the same day?
            I wasn't paying attention to the delivery date, and it says it'll be sent July 10 - June 10

            • theguyrules on 10/06/2019 - 10:02

              @Scribbles: Yeah it's sent digitally and I got them really quickly.
              I think the seller just has to say they'll post the codes, to cover their own ass.

              • Scribbles on 10/06/2019 - 11:18

                @theguyrules: Thanks for recommending the Gamepass option, much cheaper than getting a code from CDkeys or G2A

                Redeemed the codes, but was wondering if you ran into any issues while redeeming, I had like 6 errors

                • 11CENTS on 10/06/2019 - 12:20

                  @Scribbles: The error that I had when the 1 mont extra game pass option from Microsoft appear (if setup ongoing game pass). Once turned off, it works without any issues.

        Just ordered 2x12 months (26 14-day codes) from that seller and all worked perfectly. First lot came in 5 mins, second lot about 20 mins.

      • big bill broonzy on 10/06/2019 - 11:08

        I cant seem to activate these codes, it says i have a region mismatch :(

      • 11CENTS on 10/06/2019 - 12:07

        I can vouch this works. Thanks for the recommendation.
        Note:
        To ensure the game pass ultimate works:

      Redeemed no problem then upgraded to Ultimate for $1.

  • Nsimao on 10/06/2019 - 08:53

    Nice one mate, almost worth grabbing 24 months then. So if my xbox gold membership has run out. And then I add 24 months of gamepass (which expires on 29/11/19), I should be able to get ultimate until 29/11/21…that sounds like an awesome deal.

    • theguyrules on 10/06/2019 - 08:55

      I bought 24 months from them yeah.
      Heads up though you’ll only get til July, not November.

  • Maddman on 10/06/2019 - 08:55

    Sweet!
    I had Live Gold until 4/1/2021 and Game Pass until 9/22/2020.
    Now it’s Game Pass Ultimate which expires 6/8/2022

  • inabeyance on 10/06/2019 - 08:57

    This is a bit of a vanity question. But has anyone noticed if you still keep in number of years that you have been a GOLD subscriber in your profile when you switch to Game Pass Ultimate?

    • theguyrules on 10/06/2019 - 09:14

      Hmm… I don't see it on my profile anymore.

        Just to follow up. I have finally converted over to the XGPU and I am now subscribed until 14/4/2022 :)

        When I check my Profile on the Xbox and via Xbox.com it still shows ⑭ so all good.

  • Nsimao on 10/06/2019 - 09:01

    do i need at least one month of xbox live for the ultimate conversion to work? I will have 30 months of gamepass only

      nope

      • Nsimao on 10/06/2019 - 09:17

        ok awesome, thanks…just got the codes now…best is to use the xbox PC app to redeem the codes, you can copy and paste them in

        • theguyrules on 10/06/2019 - 09:20

          Yeah, after I cancelled my original Ultimate sub, I only redeemed Game Pass as well, and it worked fine.

  • mitty on 10/06/2019 - 09:19

    I took up the insider offer a few weeks back, and my ultimate ends in February 2020 (I didn’t realise I could extend by buying more Gold). It still says that from Feb I’ll be charged $1.00 per month. Wondering if that’s likely to change or will those who managed the Insider Deal get to stay on that into the future?

    • chromium on 10/06/2019 - 11:27
      +1

      I'm in the same boat mate. Before I converted, I asked and look everywhere if we could add codes after we'd converted and the consensus was we could, but adding codes was broken at the time. I originally didn't have enough XP either, so had to scrape together enough so I could convert. I wish I didn't bother.

      If I'd have just waited, I'd be able to take up the offer with all the other non-insider plebs, who now have much more information about the conversion ratio for adding codes after the fact!

  • Cralis on 10/06/2019 - 10:15

    Sorry, I'm kinda new to consoles and .. these pass things. I currently have "Xbox Game Pass" in my subscriptions, that I got for $1 a month back. My billing says: AU$32.85 every 3 months, next charge on 7/27/2019 with…

    So, I don't wanna be charged $32 on the 27th of July… So, if I got this deal, would that date go to the 27th of August? i.e. Adds another month?

    When I click it, I get the message: "Joining Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will upgrade your remaining Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass membership(s) into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for the same amount of time, up to a total of 36 months".

    Any advice would be great.

    • Geoff-bargain on 10/06/2019 - 15:04

      Yep but you would be better off buying the game pass for 24 or 36 months off the eBay link above and add that to your account first to get the most value from this one time deal

  • Yuri Lowell on 10/06/2019 - 10:40

    Bought $110 worth of Game Pass (24 months) and converted 4 months of Gold + 2 months of Game Pass, as well as the $1 Ultimate giving a total of 31 months. Pretty pleased!

    • chromium on 10/06/2019 - 11:19

      Where did you get 24 months of Game Pass for $110? I'd consider that because at least it would convert to 16 Months of Ultimate for me (I foolishly converted to Ultimate as part of the Xbox Insider Program a few weeks ago, with only 13 months of Gold on my account)

        • chromium on 10/06/2019 - 11:30

          Lol, 14 day codes? So have to add 52 codes for 2 years worth?

          Do they come in an email? It says the postage is Royal Mail

        • chromium on 10/06/2019 - 11:54

          Ended up getting 1 year, the codes came instantly. Only getting 9 days of Ultimate per code, it sucks that I am worse off for being an Xbox Insider and taking up the offer before this conversion rate was known!

        • Nitr0 on 10/06/2019 - 17:15

    Amazing deal! Had a couple of spare JB Hifi Gift cards, so topped up my remaining 10 months of Gold until June 2022 (got two free extra months of gold in the process for having recurring billing turned on). Then upgraded for $1 to Game Pass Ultimate until 10/6/2022 :D

  • Geoff-bargain on 10/06/2019 - 12:28

    Well that worked out well - heres what I did:
    got the 3 month game pass for $1 a month ago
    Was trying to level up with the insider program but never got there.
    Just added 1 x 14 day gamepass from the ebay link above - and got a bonus month for turning on recurring billing - did this to test the ebay seller.
    bought 2 x 1 year gamepass off same ebay - took about 1/2 hr to enter in all the codes.
    Had 7 months left on gold
    got the 1 month ultimate for $1
    So total cost (not including the gold I already had as I bought it ages ago) was about $116 to have ultimate for the next 3 years - pretty happy about that!

    • ammar on 10/06/2019 - 12:42

      Did you add the codes using the XBOX or PC please?

    No good deals going ATM. Bit the bullet and paid $77 for for 12 months, then did the $1 ultimate conversion. Had 6 months XBL already so 18 months of Xbox ultimate for $78 is still a win imo.

  • Dr Vortex PhD on 10/06/2019 - 13:09

    Can someone fact-check me on this?

    I have an Xbox One but I am not currently subscribed to either XBL Gold or Gamepass. But I do have some spare XBL Gold code cards that I haven't gotten around to using yet because I don't play online as much as I used to.

    If I redeem these Gold cards now I can then pay $1 more and upgrade all that time to Gamepass Ultimate? (Up to 36 months?)

    In other words, can I take advantage of this or is it only for people who were already subscribed to XBL Gold before the offer commenced? Sorry if it's a stupid question but I'm a bit confused

    • ammar on 10/06/2019 - 13:13
      +1

      yes, 1 dollar will convert all of it to ultimate, provided you redeem everything before you upgrade to ultimate

  • littleDealFish on 10/06/2019 - 13:18

    Nice! glad i hadn't changed over to ultimate yet.

    1. Extended through Microsoft site $80 xbox live 12 months (was expiring in a few days from the 3 month promo)
    2. Redeemed a 1 month game pass with Microsoft rewards (already expired)
    3. Purchased $1 1 month PC game pass
    4. Spent the $1 to change over to ultimate. Now up until November 2020! (4/11/2020)

    Got about 16-17 months for $82 (if you count 1 month redeemed game pass)

    *put an edit as i bought the xbox live through Microsoft, not 3rd party. Seemed to allow me to 'extend' as i hadn't changed anything over yet.

  • cheepo on 10/06/2019 - 13:27

    For anybody that took up the offer prior to topping up their Live or Gamepass subscription…it seems that buying 12 months of standard Gamepass after activating this offer (like from the Ebay seller theguyrules posted above) should add at least 7.8 months of Gamepass Ultimate or more!

    I purchased it knowing that I would lose several months (based on the conversion rate). I also received individual 14 day Gamepass codes but when you redeem them on the Xbox site….you are notified that these convert to 9 days of Gamepass Ultimate! So what I figure I would be getting is….

    26 codes x 9 days at the converted rate = 234 days or approximately 7.8 months!

    I'm not sure if it's a glitch or I just got lucky but it seems to have added the full 12 months in my case! Worse case scenario and it doesn't work for you, should still get you at least 7+ months of Gamepass Ultimate from this method.

    • Chilby2k on 10/06/2019 - 14:46

      Wicked I added 12 months Gold and then did the gamepass $1 changing to Ultimate AU$15.95 every month, next charge on 7/10/2020.

      So I can add another 12 months gold sub and it give me 7 months or so ultimate now that I'm changed over?

      • cheepo on 10/06/2019 - 15:11
        +1

        No idea if you'll get the same amount with Gold subscription as I tried with a Gamepass one. The conversion rate is less according to the Microsoft site for 12 months but then the same for 1 month:

        1 month of Gold = 20 days of Ultimate
        1 month of Xbox Game Pass (Console Games) = 20 days of Ultimate

        12 months of Gold = 4 months of Ultimate
        12 months of Xbox Game Pass (Console Games) = 5 months of Ultimate

        I was redeeming 14 day codes so perhaps it defaults to the same amount (9 days) or a little under.

        • Chilby2k on 10/06/2019 - 16:12

          Thanks for that sucks didn't do 2x gold then gamepass. but good to know can add on even if it's not full 12 for 12 months.

          Cheers

    • Scratch2k on 12/06/2019 - 07:22

      This is the real SGA here, thanks!

      I made the mistake of not topping up before I upgraded to Ultimate but even at 7 months for 12 it’s still a good deal.

    • Scratch2k on 12/06/2019 - 08:07

      For science I tried this, purchased a 12 months card from

      https://www.electronicfirst.com/cheap-xbox-live-codes/12-mon…

      then added it to my recently upgraded Ultimate acccount.

      Before adding 12 month gold card my expiry date on Ultimate was 19/6/2021, I added the 12 month code, as I was doing so it did warn me that it was being converted to 4 months of ultimate, I ignored it and powered on..unfortunately, it was correct, my new expiry date is 18/10/2021.

      So I only got 4 months of ultimate for AUD74, a terrible deal.

      BE WARNED. MAKE SURE YOU UPGRADE GOLD BEFORE UPGRADING TO ULTIMATE WITH THIS DEAL.

        For science I tried this, purchased a 12 months card from.

        No science about it, it had been well documented and discussed throughout this deal that you should redeem any codes you have #BEFORE you upgrade to Ultimate. MS also list the conversion rates on the Game Pass page:

    Got gamepass eBay codes. 24 months. Turned off auto renew and got another month. Then upgraded to ultimate. Very nice! Exp October 2021!

    Just wondering if you buy Gold from another country will that stack onto your AU subscription? I've got some Brazilian Real that I can use to buy a 3-month top-up, but if I switch to the Brazilian store I don't want to be accidentally creating another Gold account I can't use here in Australia.

      i think if you have an active subscription then it wont work. The game pass on ebay seems to be the best thing to buy right now

        If you're referring to the link above, they're sold out.

        • Geoff-bargain on 10/06/2019 - 18:26

          you can still get the 6 month one - not quite as cheap - but still better than what Live is going for

    Done! Thank you.

    Was just about to purchase 24 months of the game pass via the ebay link, its now sold out… anyone have any other cheap alternatives?

    • Seanus on 10/06/2019 - 18:39

      Yeah, trying to find a good alternative as well, either game pass or live.
