$15/month for me.
glennh70 on 17/08/2019 - 08:53

Seems confusing to me, says two months for $2, but then says $2 for the first month and $15.95 every month after that. Is it 2 months or only 1 month

2 months for $2
AU$2.00 including tax for the first month
AU$15.95 including tax every month after that

I signed up thinking it was 2 months for $2. I turned off recurring billing so ill be annoyed if i get charged $15.95 for the 2nd month
- netsurfer on 17/08/2019 - 09:16
  
  Are you able to go to your subscriptions and check the expiry date of your GamePass Ultimate? Once you turned off recurring billing, it should tell you the expiry date. With that info, we can figure out whether it is really 2 months or just 1 month.
  
  i.e. https://account.microsoft.com/services/, under XBox Game Pass Ultimate, it should states Expires on ??/??/????.
  
  One OZBer has reported he did get 2 months.

        @StuFraser: If you want, contact Microsoft support (you can use the online chat option). The XBox support staff are generally quite nice. They should be able to fix it by adding another month worth into your subscription.

        I'm guessing it's either because my account expired too recently (yesterday) or because it's related to me using the $1 deal last time that came up (June or July?). Glad it worked for some people though :)

andyken on 17/08/2019 - 13:57

can anyone advise me, I'm an inactive account and it shows me $2/2month. if I bought Xbox live gold game pass for 1 year from cdkeys, can I still get this $2 for 2 months and convert it to 14 months of game pass ultimate?

thank you
MrRobot on 17/08/2019 - 14:23

I had an inactive Xbox Live Gold account, I was able to secure 2 months of Game Pass (w/ Xbox Live Gold) for $2. I turned off recurring billing (otherwise Microsoft charges your account $15.95/month). Therefore this $2 deal has given my account 2 months of Game Pass (until October 18th, 2019). I have verified it works, as I am currently downloading Castlevania Lords of Shadow (which was part of this months Games with Gold offering). Thanks OP!
UFO on 17/08/2019 - 16:12

I had an inactive account.

Could only get $1 for 1 month, with next billing 17/09 for $15.95.
It was advertised as $2 for 2 months, but changed as soon as I signed in. Dodgy.

Bait and switch from M$, BUT I'll take 1 month for $1 no worries.
Cancelled automatic billing 5 seconds later though.

I've got 2 X 30 day game pass unused codes and I can see this $2 for 2 months on my inactive account. What to do in which sequence to get the maximum period if everything utilized?

  If you want to take advantage now, then:
  
  Claim the 2 x 30 days GamsPass vouchers.
  
  If you purchased any eligible AMD product recently and you don't have an active GamePass for PC, claim the voucher provided by the promotion.
  
  Any XBox Live Gold vouchers un-used, claim them.
  
  Any Microsoft reward points you can convert to GP or XBLG vouchers, do that and claim them.
  
  Any cheap XBLG or GP subscriptions you are willing to buy. Get them and claim.
  
  With all that, then buy the $2 for 2 months and do the conversion. Do the conversion as soon as you claimed all the vouchers to maximise the 1:1 conversion.
  
  If unsure, contact Microsoft XBox support team.
  
  P.S. We can guess why Microsoft is doing this promotion now —> Gears 5 coming soon. Once again, a GamePass promotion when a new first party title is about to be released.
  - bigbadboogieman on 18/08/2019 - 12:09
    
    Thanks. Would the $2 for $2 remain if Game Pass vouchers are activated? It's for new/Inactive accounts only isn't it?
emwearz on 18/08/2019 - 14:47

I ended up being able to get this to work through my xbox one itself, no amount of messing around got it to work from any browser.
steelpanther on 19/08/2019 - 08:43

I was previously on that $1 for 1 month trial. It expired over the weekend and I just tried this now.. and worked fine, I received my 2 months for $2 (although I didn't use the ozbargain link, I selected it directly from the xbox web site and selected "Join" after selecting the $2 option).

My Ultimate Subscription runs out in a couple of days. Can I let it run out and get this deal? or is it only for inactive accounts before this deal was active?

Can I buy the 3 months game pass and then upgrade to ultimate via $2.00 offer?

IE: would be getting a 3rd month of ultimate for $4.95
- cr4pm4n on 20/08/2019 - 16:43
  
  I'm wondering this too. Technically it should be 5 months, but I'm wondering if the deal would stay at all if you get the 3 months one, because would that still mean your account is inactive or not?

  Were you able to do this? I was wondering the same thing for my brother's inactive account as I was able to add a month to my own account's Ultimate by adding a month trial of Game pass PC first.
  
  $7 for 5 months seems good value and should be plenty of time for us to finish Gears.
  - ChillBro on 05/09/2019 - 19:34
    
    I can't seem to see the 3 month deal anymore. Was waiting for Gears 5 before I subscribed but now it seems I missed it.

      It's still available, and you can use it multiple times - see the link in my comment below.

        This deal is for everyone, and you can stack it indefinitely.

12 months of Xbox Live Gold for $43.80 ($10.95 for three months × 4).

https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/481996

I bought 33 months worth.
BooYa on 12/09/2019 - 04:34

Also, I converted Xbox Live Gold to Ultimate using this deal (now it's $1 for 1 month) and in my email confirmation I received it said that I have subscribed to Xbox Live Ultimate, and that my account would be charged $1 a month until notified in writing of a price change.

Has anyone checked their Xbox subscriptions page, after getting this deal, to see how much their recurring charge is scheduled to be (does it say that your next payment is going to be $1 per month or the normal price?).

I have turned off recurring billing so I don't know what it was before I turned it off, and all I see now is the option to turn it back on at around $15/month.

Thanks.

Hello, Brian here a fellow Xbox Gamer

Unfortunately, if you have already had the ultimate game pass you cannot get the 2 dollar deal, it is for new customers.

Me:
Not for inactive accounts?

new subscribers only.

OP's title is misleading.
- BooYa on 21/09/2019 - 18:46
  
  He said if you had "ultimate" before you can't get the $2 deal.
  
  Then, when he says "new subscribers only" is not clear either - does he mean new "ultimate" subscribers (which is how I understood him) or new "xbox live" subscribers?
  
  So, while helpful, his answer doesn't clarify it completely, and many people will remain confused.
  
  Ps. It's important to note he's not a Microsoft employee, but a volunteer, so I'd judge the reliability of his statements to be in the 95%-99% (based on his 100% positive record).

    if you have already had the ultimate game pass you cannot get the 2 dollar deal, it is for new customers.
    
    It's very clear to me that new customers = new subscribers (of XGP Ultimate).
    Also if you check the comment section of this deal, many with an inactive XGP Ultimate account reported it's showing the regular price instead of $2 / 2 months.
    - BooYa on 22/09/2019 - 13:15
      
      That's what I thought too, but I wasn't sure.
      
      I didn't read a lot of the comments either, because I have already topped up my XBLG to 3 years, but at $10.95 for 3 months.
      
      I think the deal is still available but it's targeted
      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/481996
      
      This was obviously a better deal, but I wasn't aware of it tbh (I was just happy to top up 3 years at ~$3.70 per months plus Ultimate at a couple of dollars for one month and conversion to Ultimate).
      
      I was just wondering if you could stack them, or if it was a one time purchase, but since it's expired now it's not really important.
      
      Thanks for the feedback.
