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.

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).

Cheers Op had seen it pop up on the insider program but really couldn't be bothered trying to clarify it, as always I have reservations with Microsofts business ethics.

In the end I'm subbed to end of Oct 2020 for around 110 I had 2 of 12 month passes I bought prior to the bump in price and kept rather than stack immediately as I was interested to see what happened with this. I'd heard the rumours but wanted to be sure so seeing the proof there was going to be no pro rata rationing of exisiting subscriptions.

Now let's see it hopefully include the proposed amalgamation with Nintendo for the Switch (apparently tested and feasible) get your high capacity micro SD cards before the rush on that one which could effectively have Sony playing catch up and some worthwhile deals for all.

Bought two years sub (Brazil) from cdkeys https://www.cdkeys.com/xbox-live/memberships/12-month-xbox-l… for 56$/year. Used vpn to redeem the codes but was not able to get the extra month for auto renewal, could not add my card. :)
switched back to xbox and upgraded to ultimate with no issues.

    I did this for a friend of mine (paid the same $56/year). It's real easy to do. This is what I did:
    
    1) Install the Xbox app on your smartphone. Open it and sign into your profile.
    2) Install the Tunnelbear app on your smartphone.
    3) Once you've got the Brazil codes, open Tunnelbear and select Brazil.
    4) Open the Xbox app, select the menu icon and go to Microsoft Store.
    5) Once in the store, go to Redeem a code and paste your Brazil code and redeem.
    
    It's really very simple.

      - TezBiAn on 18/06/2019 - 15:59
        
        @SBOB: Correct. Once you use the VPN to input the code and it's been accepted, no need for VPN anymore.

      Bought 2x 12-month Brazil codes for $56ea and followed this, except I used the Tunnelbear extension for Chrome on my desktop. Made sure I turned off recurring billing before adding the codes and each time was given the extra 1x month for turning recurring billing back on. Score!
- ratoloko on 18/06/2019 - 14:03
  
  That should work only with Brazil accounts. It should not work with accounts from Australia.
ratoloko on 18/06/2019 - 14:08

I am still confused with one thing, the promotion says "1 Month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate $1".

So let's say I have 12 months Game Pass or Gold, and the I added the Ultimate one.
That will convert my Pass or Gold to Ultimate one, but at the end of 1 month you will cancel its auto renew to $14.99, and them what?
I always play games in Single Player mode so I am a lot lost with the way how things work.
I will be more than happy if someone can clarify things :P
MaximumEffort777 on 18/06/2019 - 14:19

+1

So let's say I have 12 months Game Pass or Gold, and the I added the Ultimate one.

You will get the 12mths of whatever sub you have + the 1mth of Ultimate = 13mths of Ultimate. The more combined months of each or both that you have, the more months of Ultimate (up to 36mths) you will get converted.

This 1-for-1 conversion rate only applies to subs you already have redeemed before signing up to Ultimate the first time though, the conversion rate is greatly reduced if you redeem codes afterwards.
cv05 on 18/06/2019 - 14:33

Thanks OP….awesome!

I did the Brazil VPN connection and bought 2 years of Gold and turned off auto billing twice. Ended up with an ultimate sub expiring 5th Oct 2021 :-)
CrankyCarrot on 19/06/2019 - 03:30

If I buy 12 x 1 month Game Pass vouchers online for $3.69 each, that's $44.28 for a year. Then I go Ultimate for $1 and get 13 months total for $45.28… Am I correct?

So I upgraded to ultimate and have until October but want to buy 12 months of gold and upgrade that retroactively. Is that possible? Do I have to cancel the time I have in order to do that?
- wordsmith on 19/06/2019 - 18:29
  
  Yes, you will have to cancel whatever you have currently, and getting the ultimate for 1$ offer may not necessarily be available again, you will have the 15$ option though, with same upgrade terms and conditions

can you buy now and activate in a few weeks? i aint got time for this right now..

  Nope. The moment you buy is the moment it activates - same with every subscription service ever.
- theguyrules on 20/06/2019 - 09:36
  
  Unfortunately, unlike buying a code from a retailer, this applies immediately.
CrankyCarrot on 20/06/2019 - 18:02

So the cheapest (per month) way to get in on this now would be to buy a 12 month sub from Big W for $63-ish dollars (deal avail from today, no?) or use a VPN and mess about with region settings to do it for about $53 from Brazil, then add the $1 Ultimate deal and get 13 months total of Ultimate, amiright?
- Agret on 20/06/2019 - 23:38
  
  You get an extra month for turning on auto-renewal so you would have 13 months from your Big W code and then extra month from the $1 makes it 14 months for $64, of course it's better value if you turn off auto-renewal then add an extra 1yr code and enable auto renewal again for another 13 months gives you 27 months for $127. Provided you're going to use game pass it's much better to get that 2nd year for the price of xbox live rather than the price of gamepass ultimate.
  - CrankyCarrot on 21/06/2019 - 09:31
    
    I kinda figured one year would be enough. Got the auto renewal month, the $1 month, the remaining 1 month and 20 days on the last $1 promo for Game Pass (3 months when initiated earlier) plus of course the year purchased for $63-some dollars from Big W.
    
    Good til October 2020. Works for me!

On a related note, does anyone know how to download all these Gamepass games directly to an external hard drive. The 500gb One S fills up quick and I can only get it to download to the internal drive, then (painstakingly) move/copy each game manually to the external 3TB HDD, which for some reason also halts all downloads since the machine can't multitask that for some reason.

TLDR: How do you download games straight to an external drive?

  Got the same message when I tried to do it online as well.
  
  Ended up getting the Brazil-based codes mentioned above.
blanes on 25/06/2019 - 08:56

I thought they would accept it but a JB store girl said they couldn't yesterday when I tried however when I later read the conditions it is unclear because an xbox live sub is not a giftcard… but do they classify it as a Pre-paid card ?
mrshikadance85 on 25/06/2019 - 10:40
So, just to clarify (for someone who hasn't got Xbox Live gold)…to get the 36mths:

Get cheap 3x12mth xbox gold live cards

redeem them all at once on Xbox

THEN sign up for the 1mth free trial

boom - 36mths (exp Jun 2022)?
- smifter on 25/06/2019 - 18:45
  
  If you already have any months of Game Pass you can discount those from the total number of Gold Live months you buy to reach 36.
  
  e.g. If you already have 12 months of Game Pass you only need to buy 24 months of Gold Live to get to 36 months. They stack them when converting to Ultimate.
  
  It's actually slightly better than that as you get 1 month of Ultimate for $1 with this deal too so need to buy one less month of Gold, plus if you turn off automatic billing before you load a new subscription each time, you get another 1 month free for turning it on.
blanes on 25/06/2019 - 13:01

Still works 100% got 32 months Ultimate Game Pass with 2 x 12 month subs + 3 month plus bonus month each time I entered code for turning recurring billing on (turn off from ms account each time). Last thing to enter is the PC game pass for $1 followed finally (important!) by the $1 xbox ultimate game pass. Then all the months get converted instantly to Ultimate. For $130 I am done and good to end Feb 2022. Got my 12mth subs for $63.96 each from JB price match BigW. They would not let me use my $15 JB Coupons though, still a very good deal…. Grab it while it lasts :-D

I took advantage of this 15% off gift cards deal back in December and bought some EB Games gift cards.

Went to EB and price matched Big W's 20% off XBL cards which brought them down to $63.96 then take 15% off that by paying with the discounted gift cards.

So I managed to grab 2x 12 month XBL cards for $54.36 each.

Now I'll convert that to Game Pass Ultimate for $1 which should take me to May 2022 😎

  Finally sorted. 3 years thanks to 2x 12 (13) month Gold purchased from BigW, and the rest in Game Pass redeemed through Microsoft Rewards
vankaaye on 30/06/2019 - 20:29

Thanks OP. Bought through Brazil VPN. For people wanting to make use of the full 36 months, skip the recurring one month bit. If you use the recurring option it will not allow you to use the 3rd 12 months code as adding a 3rd one will exceed the 36 months limit. So you end up with 2 x 12 months + 2 months from reoccurring option = total 26 months.
netsurfer on 01/07/2019 - 22:11
Some additional info:

Currently, you can purchase GamePass for PC for $1 (for 1 month). That can be converted to XBox Ultimate - so it is $1 for 1 month basically.

If you recently reached XBox Insider with Preview Delta or better, you want to check with XBox Support (use the live chat) as you could get 3 months GamePass Ultimate for $1 (instead of just 1 months for $1).

Bear in mind that if you combined #1 and #2 - that's 4 months; don't forget to factor in your existing subscription and purchase just enough months to pad to max 36 months.

Assuming #2 is applicable to you, it is best to ask XBox Support to do the purchase for you. I tried hard to figure out a way to do it online or through the console, but I was only offered the 1 month option. Support was able to do the 3 months for $1 for me.
Robbob on 02/07/2019 - 16:52

I would like to get 36 months of gold to max out ultimate gamepass. With just over 1 month left on current gold subscription is there a way to get the a 3rd 12 month gold code to work? If I cancel current gold credit will credit revert back to 0 months so I can add 3 x 12 month codes? I don't want to be stuck with one being unusable
- netsurfer on 03/07/2019 - 01:10
  
  I suggest you chat to Support to first find out whether you are eligible for 3 months for $1 GamePass Ultimate.
  
  If yes, you might be better off with 2 x 12 months + 1 x 6 months + 1 month (GamePass PC) + 1 month (Remaining) + 3 months for $1 GamePass Ultimate (if you are eligible). That way, you are just 1 month short… Dunno whether you still have any unused vouchers for XBLive Gold or GamePass.
  
  Also ask about your 3 x 12 months idea (and the issue of the last one may not be stackable/usable).
  - Robbob on 03/07/2019 - 15:56
    
    Thanks for the suggestion. Alternately, I was able to get the maximum length of gamepass ultimate using home sharing on 2 consoles I just added 3 x 12 month codes to my other xbox account and shared across accounts

      It comes down to which account you prefer to collect free games and to a lesser extent, which account you use to collect reward points. I guess you could always make your other XB account your main one moving forward.

The Value on 03/07/2019 - 20:18

The free months for turning on recurring billing count towards the 36 month cap. So either buy only 2 x 12 month cards or don't accept the free months.

I only got up until November 2021 (28 months). Still happy though.

        @Spun: If you wait until your ultimate subscription expires you can activate the code as a 12 month gold subscription as per normal

Great deal that still works. Just then, I extended my Gold until Dec 2020, then for $1 more, it's now Game Pass Ultimate until Jan 2021. Thanks OP!

I just did this today, got 35 months worth of Ultimate for around $153, which works out to $4.37 per month.

A 72% saving for Ultimate Pass @ $16/mo.
A 60% saving for PC/Console Pass @ $11/mo.

I utilised the recurring payment method mentioned above to get a free month for each XboX Live Gold subscription I bought (3 total free months).

I then got my 36th month using my Microsoft Rewards points.

This is everything I did:

(If you don't know what the recurring payment method is, read some previous posts in this thread.)

I already had the $1 normal PC pass (not ultimate) that I got a week or two ago. This gives you 1 month.

I bought 2 x 12 month Xbox Live Gold @ $56 ea.
I used a free TunnelBear account for this and set it to Brazil, using their chrome extension in Incognito mode (first I had to allow the extension to be used in Incognito mode in Chrome). It was pretty easy and straightforward. Turned off recurring payments after each one to get the free month for both.

I bought 1 x 6 month Xbox Live Gold @ ~$39 ea. (Use discount code MORROG for 3% off)
This website was pretty good, got my key straight away through the website no problems. Paid with PayPal. Use discount code MORROG for 3% (~$1.30) off, this will help offset their "operation fee" when checking out. PayPal had the cheapest "operation fee" I think, about $1.60. The rest were around $3-$4. Got a free month here for setting up recurring payment.

I redeemed 1 Xbox Live Gold month from Microsoft Rewards using my points I had accumulated over the years.

Lastly, I bought the $1 Ultimate Pass which gave me a month of Game pass and finally converted all those XBox Live Gold months to Ultimate Game Pass months.

Just as clean up, I turned off recurring payments so I don't get charged in 3 years unexpectedly.

EDIT: You can get the 3 month deal for Ultimate for $15 as well if you've already got a few some Xbox Live Gold months on your account. Just make sure you do the maths on your months and buy the Ultimate last as that is what converts the Xbox Live Gold to Ultimate Game Pass.

This gives me 1+12+12+6+3+1+1 = 36 months (including the 3 free months from the gold subscriptions).

My subscription ends on 8/7/2022, 2 years, 11 months, 22 days from today.

Hey guys,

Just to confirm, the trick still works!!!
I just got 30 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for 114.18 AUD.
I haven't had any current subscription prior doing this.

Buy 2x 12 MONTH XBOX LIVE GOLD MEMBERSHIP (XBOX ONE/360) BRAZIL from cdkeys.com = 2x 56.09AUD

Using VPN (NordVPN) on my laptop to set up Brazil IP.

Log in into your Microsoft account and redeem your 2x 12 Months gold membership using recurring payment method trick to get 2 extra months

Redeem XBOX GAME PASS I had lying around which came with my new Xbox 1S. (About 1 year old) I got 2 months worth of subscription by using recurring payment method. So i got 1 month free from code + 1 month extra for recurring payment.
I believe this can be also done after logging through Australian IP

Log out from VPN to get back to Australia

Buy 1 month of Xbox Game Pass for PC for $1

Buy 1 month of Xbox Game pass Ultimate for $1

All together my subscription is valid until 21/01/2022 which is $3.80 per month in my case.
(13+13+2+1+1=30months)

(I dont know if you can get extra free month when buying Xbox Game Pass for PC as I used my Microsoft $ balance to pay off the $1)

This offer is still valid (thanks to the mods for amending this thread).

Well worth it imho.

purchased an extra 12 months via cdkeys for $71
then when I redeemed the code on PC, it asked me if I wanted to turn on recurring payments for a bonus month, which I did.
upgraded to gamepass ultimate for $1 and then turned off auto payments - all good.

thanks OP

  If you turn off recurring payments after redeeming the code then you will be offered an extra free month of gamepass ultimate for enabling recurring payments when you activate the $1 conversion.
Gurbachen on 04/08/2019 - 00:20

So just to clarify, I can buy two of these

https://www.cdkeys.com/xbox-live/memberships/12-month-xbox-l…

Then do the tunnelbear thing and redeem on a normal AUS account as long as the VPN thinks I'm in Brazil? Thanks
- gadgetguy on 04/08/2019 - 22:43
  
  I'm wanting to check this too. These are currently showing as $49.49 and say "only works on Brazil Xbox Live".
  
  Anyone confirm that with the VPN trick then these will still work on an Aus account?

  Yea you can do that no problems, enable recurring payment when activating the first code and it will give you an extra month free. Disable recurring payments in your MS account settings then activate the second code and it will give you an extra month free for enabling recurring payments again. Disable recurring payments in account settings once more. Turn off your VPN and buy the $1 gamepass ultimate and then it will prompt you for recurring payments to get an extra month then disable recurring payments again.
  
  12+1 12+1 1+1 = 28 months of gamepass ultimate

    Thanks for the reply.
    
    Did all of that - bought 2 x 12 month keys and got 27 months of Ultimate now for less than $100.
    
    Nice that the keys are even cheaper than when the thread started.
  - Gurbachen on 07/08/2019 - 03:20
    
    Thanks for the help mate, got 12+1+12+1+1, didn't get a prompt for a third bonus month but oh well, paid up to May 2022 for under $100, good deal.
BooYa on 27/08/2019 - 02:32

This deal has changed to $2 for 2 months of Xbox Live Ultimate.

Can the OP please change the title/description.

Also, this is expiring in less than a month (I forget how many days left, but I think it was 20+ days left).

It still has the conversion of all your current Xbox Live Gold subscription to Ultimate (it's in the "read more" section.
AlienC on 13/10/2019 - 19:48

So from my understanding PC only owners and users don't have any need or cannot use anything in Ultimate since that is an amalgamation of Xbox Live Xbox Gold and Xbox Game Pass and there are no benefits for PC only owners and user in which case Xbox Game Pass for PC is the only thing PC users can utilise at this very moment is this correct.

For anyone searching/wondering about this, YES it still works!

You should NOT have an active Game Pass subscription, otherwise this conversion won't work. Cancel it or let it lapse first before doing this

Here's how I did it:

Purchase 2 of these 12 Months XBOX Live Gold from CDKeys.

Connect to a Brazil POP via VPN

Redeem the first code which will give you an extra month for Recurring payment

Disable Recurring payment

Redeem the second code which will give you an extra month for Recurring payment

Disable Recurring payment

Dssconnect from VPN

Join Game Pass Ultimate for $1 and it will convert your remaining Live Gold subscription to Game Pass Ultimate

Disable Recurring payment

12+1 12+1 1+1 = 28 months of Game Pass Ultimate

Huzzah!
