Xbox has just announced the following benefits for existing and new Gamepass Ultimate users:

  • 1 Month free EA access
  • 3 Months free Discord Nitro

If you don't have gamepass already then this can be combined with their current promo for 3 months of Gamepass Ultimate for $1. INSANE value.

https://www.xbox.com/en-AU/xbox-game-pass

To claim these offers on your console, just go to your dashboard and you will see a notification to claim your gift. From there you can join EA access and scan a QR code/enter a link to get your Discord Nitro. Both offers seem to default to auto-renewal, so be sure to turn this off.

For PC Only users I'm still looking for confirmation on how to get the codes. There are reports of some people contacting Xbox support and receiving their codes, and others are saying they were told codes will be messaged/emailed out.

BONUS: EXTRA 2 MONTHS GAME PASS ULTIMATE FREE. I'm not sure if this part was intentional, but once I signed into Discord with my Nitro activated I received a free 3 months of Xbox Game Pass in the Discord gift menu, which converted to 2 months of Game Pass Ultimate when I redeemed it to my account. I was already an existing game pass member.

      Yep! Unfortunately it looks like the 6 months Spotify is for US/UK customers only, so I've removed that from the post :(

      • Shaqspackattack on 15/11/2019 - 11:16

        Can you cancel within the 3 months and not continue the subscription?

        • KentT on 15/11/2019 - 15:13

          Yes.

          You just cancel the renewal, not the membership, so do it right after you join.

          GamePass membership will just have an expiry date 3 months from now.

        I'm an existing Ultimate Pass subscriber and I logged in on the page but I don't see an option to claim any of these. Post should probably be updated.
        Ultimate pass holders also don't get the 3 months for $1 promo :(

      Contact Xbox Support using this link, following these steps:

      1. Click any option like "Xbox One"
      2. Click "see other options" then any option like "Charges on my account"
      3. Click "show contract options"
      4. Click "chat with Xbox Support"

      They'll manually send you a link within 72 hours. Here's my transcript with support:

      My name is mcpower.

      Hi, mcpower! I can see here that you are trying to claim your Game Pass Ultimate perks but you are on a PC. Correct?

      Correct.

      Got it! Currently offers can only be claimed on Xbox console Store. With regard to users who are on PC, we will need to collect information from you and our supervisors will be the one to send you an email on how to claim the perks on your end. Is that okay with you?

      [details about the code being sent to me]

      Awesome! No worries, we will be sending you an email about this matter. You may check your email from time to time within 24-72 hours. 😊

      • Trantor on 16/11/2019 - 12:10

        I tried this way and I got what you got! they'll send me the codes, unlike yesterdays "not available in Australia" they said, call I made to support last night, even though its all over the Aussie pages.

      • mcpower on 19/11/2019 - 14:54

        Just had another chat with support - need to wait "10 business days" after the promotion starts / GPU signup date (whichever is later) - which looks like 2nd of December…

    if i get the ultimate pass, can i use that ea access on pc, cause i was gunna get it for the new star wars game, getting even more gamepass time is just an awesome deal if i can pull that off

  • Chazzozz on 15/11/2019 - 10:06

    Interesting. I'm keen to see if Discord will still grant me 2 months extra of Ultimate even though I'm already a member.

        Microsoft would have to cough up a lot of money to make that happen. Heck, even GTA5 isn't there and it's technically a last gen game.

    OK, so I wasn't a Discord Nitro subscriber.

    I used the three months code to get Discord Nitro.

    When I logged into Discord, there was a bar across the top congratulating me, and telling me I had three month free Game Pass access for being a Nitro subscriber.

    The Discord in-app redemption gives you the choice of a redemption code for 3 months XGP or 3 months XGPPC. I took the XGPPC code.

    I'm already a XGPU subscriber, I figured I'd try redeeming the code anyway…

    boom 3 months XGPPC = 2 months free XGPU.

    • KentT on 15/11/2019 - 12:50

      And to think I wasn't going to bother with the Discord Nitro thing.

      My subscription is already paid up halfway into 2021. I'm starting to think Microsoft is just trying to get everyone to have GamePass already when it's time to choose between Xbox2/PS5 next Christmas.

    • daitro on 16/11/2019 - 06:25

      Legend. Had to shut down discord and re-open it and boom, there it was.

      As an existing XGPU subscriber, has anyone had the problem redeeming Nitro via the QR code that Discord only gives 2 months instead of 3 months?

      • Zorlin on 16/11/2019 - 13:33

        Yes, but I think it's actually just weird wording. It gives you the first month for free and adds a credit so your first two renewals are free.

        • KentT on 16/11/2019 - 13:49

          No it's 3 months of plain old GamePass ($10.95/m), if you already have an Ultimate($15.95/m) account you get 2 months of that instead.

          About the same value.

          • Zorlin on 16/11/2019 - 20:37

            @KentT: No, they are referring to the 3 months of Nitro, which is provided to you as a QR code.

  • infinity3000 on 15/11/2019 - 12:48

    Great post, everything worked as expected. Got 2 months Ultimate pass and used the EA Access to download the NFS Heat 10 hour trial.

    Remember to cancel those EA and Discord auto-renewals peeps!

  • xPanda on 15/11/2019 - 13:10

    To add, if you're already a Discord Nitro subscriber, you can redeem 3 months of Xbox Game Pass, expiring March 31, 2020. I'm not sure if you have to be a yearly subscriber or be subscribed to the US$10 per month one though.

    For PC Users:

    I've contacted Microsoft Support about it, and they said "the promotion bonus can only be redeemed on console".

    In order to redeem the codes for PC, they also claimed they will need to my xbox gamertag and email address to escalate the issue to their higher tier,
    as a PC gamer (not xbox gamer). However he didn't give me the estimated timeframe.

    I guess it's much better off redeem it through xbox consoles if available till they have a proper solution for that at this stage.

    for pc users, here is the reply I got from xbox support:

    Thank you for confirming your awesome gamertag.
    So here's the thing, upon checking your account here on my end. I can see here that you're perfectly eligible for the promotion. And no worries all you have to do is to sit back, relax and just wait for 10 business days for the codes to be sent on your xbox messaging center.
    And I can assure you that you will get the code for it for you to enjoy our service. How does that sound?

    you will also receive it on your e-mail. :)

  • syousef on 15/11/2019 - 14:28

    Signed up myself and my daughter to Gamepass Ultimate for $1 yesterday. Haven't been able to find the notification to claim the gift on either account. Tried 2 different consoles.

    • Xenocaust on 15/11/2019 - 14:30

      I logged in, and went to the screen to the right after the initial load.

      There was a tile for EA Access that had the deal.

      • syousef on 15/11/2019 - 14:32

        Thanks. Will try that and report back.

        • syousef on 15/11/2019 - 21:48

          No luck.

          • syousef on 16/11/2019 - 09:25

            @syousef: Ok so they finally appeared on both my account and my daughters.

            My daughter's was uneventful but on mine I almost missed out on the 3 month Xbox code after signup to Nitro. I was signed into discord in multiple locations (desktop + mobile browser in desktop mode + mobile app). Only one showed the 3 month Xbox gift immediately after I signed up for Nitro, I wasn't able to display it on the other browsers. So I think if you don't take it up right away, it might be hard or impossible to claim it later.

            So those who haven't got the code, trying again later isn't a waste of time. Or at least it wasn't for me.

            I've set a reminder to unsub from Discord Nitro after my next 2 months credit are used. If you unsub immediately you only get the current month. Not loving that I have to leave my credit card details on there. Maybe I should have gone with Paypal. I guess I can change that now if I want.

            • Xenocaust on 16/11/2019 - 13:37

              @syousef:

              If you unsub immediately you only get the current month.

              For some reason it was showing me that it'd charge me in December, rather than in Feb as stated at sign up.

              Since I'm unlikely to use Discord I cancelled straight away at that point - not worth the effort of trying to clarify with Customer Support somewhere.

              • syousef on 16/11/2019 - 16:39

                @Xenocaust: It showed the same for me but it also says there are 2 months credit directly below.

                Since Discord removed the games library I really don't what the incentive for getting Nitro is. Animated avatars??? Seriously? GTFO. I'll still keep it since having it is better than not if there are any other freebies given away.

          • anonymous888 on 15/11/2019 - 15:30

            @Xenocaust: Nevermind it was just the EA Access App download option. No free code for that either…

              @anonymous888: I logged into my Xbox and went to the tab on the right, which I think was Game Pass.

    Just an FYI on how to cancel the nitro discord auto renewal:

    • PC: settings icon > subscriptions > manage nitro (or whatever it says)
    • Discord app: settings icon > manage nitro

    You can also go to the 'billing' tab to remove your paypal or card info from your account.

    • Sammy Boi on 16/11/2019 - 10:32

      From my Mac OS app I can only cancel the nitro subscription and because it is billed monthly and your account is credited if you cancel you are only going to get one month of nitro can you confirm this?

      Maybe my platforms Application is different

      • Stinge Master on 16/11/2019 - 11:14

        Yep mine said my nitro subscription will end December 15 because I cancelled it.

  • professorhulk on 15/11/2019 - 16:47

    Redeemed the Discord Nitro sub and got another two months of GPU out of it, so I'm all good until December next year. I think I'll sit on the EA Access sub, though, since it doesn't look like they've added much since I last used a free trial. Looks like the offer is valid until January 6th.
