Sorry if this is a repost but with the release of the new Flight Simulator I thought I'd post it for those that don't know.
Note: This only works if you don’t currently have any active subscriptions ~~and haven’t already used the $1 upgrade/trial on your account yet.~~
Edit: Thanks to ShortyX, It seems like you may be able to do the $1 conversion more than once provided that it has already expired.
Edit 2: It seems like if you've already done the $1 conversion/trial, it will cost you $15.95 to do the conversion the second time.

Steps are as follows:

Create Xbox AU account here: https://www.xbox.com/en-AU (or use existing).
Get 12 month Xbox Live subscriptions here for $34: https://www.g2a.com/en-au/xbox-live-gold-subscription-card-1…
I purchased from the "Floatingclouds" seller. BACK IN STOCK
Get a Brazillian VPN. If the one you have doesn't work in Step 5 (my paid SurfShark one gave me errors when redeeming), try this free Chrome Extension (G2A seller recommended this one and it worked): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/free-vpn/jcbiifklm…
Connect to Brazil VPN and go to https://redeem.microsoft.com/. Login to your Microsoft/Xbox account if not already. (I opted to login to my Microsoft account with a one-time code sent to my email rather than using my password as a precaution while using a sketchy VPN/extension.)
Repeat redemption for all of the codes. I had to try a couple times for each one as the VPN is free and slow, I think it times out. Note: Make sure you don’t opt-in to automatic renewal for the 1 bonus month. This will prevent you from redeeming the 3rd 12 month pass.
Once you have redeemed as many as you want (max of 3 for 36 months), you can then opt to “upgrade” to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $1. I did this in the Microsoft account/subscriptions page, but I think you can also do it here: https://www.xbox.com/en-AU/live/gold/upgrade. Note: Don't use the VPN for this part.

Hopefully that's clear enough. Not sure how much longer this offer is going to be around for so I'd probably jump on it if interested. If I've missed any steps or there are better VPN's/key prices let me know and I'll update the post. Cheers!

If the keys are out of stock, here's a list of some other sites I was considering before I purchased (not quite as cheap):
https://www.electronicfirst.com/12-month-xbox-live-gold-memb… (Warning: some users reporting ID verification required)
https://www.gamivo.com/product/xbox-live-gold-12-month-brazi… (Warning: some users reporting ID verification required)
https://www.cdkeys.com/xbox-live/memberships/12-month-xbox-l…
Note: Buy at your own risk, I cannot speak for the legitimacy of these sellers

Edit: Floatingclouds on G2A is back in stock here (scroll down, top of the list): https://www.g2a.com/xbox-live-gold-subscription-card-12-mont…

Note/Comparison: Australian Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has RRP of $574.20 for 36 months ($15.95/Month)

  I've bought from them twice and both times had to go through the chat to get the code applied :/ But I've found old subscriptions hang around on you account for a while and can cause issues.

Tried to purchase 3 x 12 month xbox live codes through cdkeys twice. 1st time 'worked' received a receipt from cdkeys saying order is complete. Go to collect keys and it tells me that the order is under review. I wait a couple of hours and i decide to contact support. While i'm waiting i receive an email that my purchase has gotten refunded. Finally chat with support and they tell me it was a transaction error.

So i decide to wait for the refund and try again. A couple of days later i do and same thing happens again… This time support tells me that the 'review team' has decided that since i don't live in Brazil i can't have the keys and get refunded again. pretty annoying tbh. Probably will never use cdkeys again.

As for the other options g2a seems to be getting more expensive day by day and i cant be bothered going through the possible "ID Verification" of electronic first and gamivo.

So i guess i'll wait until g2a prices drop again.
- Sunproof on 06/09/2020 - 11:39
  
  I used Gamivo yesterday to get 3x 12 month cards and it worked without verification for me. Last weekend my account got blocked on g2a trying to buy them, so I missed out on $30 of savings or something. I paid $112 after paypal fees

Hi all,

So I've done all the steps. Got 3 years of Xbox Live after expiry of my Game pass Ultimate. Then with the VPN turned off I went to https://www.xbox.com/en-AU/live/gold/upgrade

Click on join and all that jazz and click submit and then.

Change your Microsoft Store region You currently have a subscription from a different region. If it still doesn't work, please contact customer support.

Popping in to say this still works, even though prices for the keys have gone up a little but it's still a damn good deal.

Bought from G2A, no ID requested but they did call me from Poland to confirm my email address and then it went through fine. Used the Chrome Extension VPN linked by OP and while it was slow and required reloading and trying the redemptions several times, it worked (don't be afraid of various "unreachable" or "aborted" errors when trying to redeem the codes).

Now set until 2023 for 133.20 + 15.95, incredible. THANKYOU OP

    Register for a G2A account and then on the page where they give you your key there's an option to send the seller a message and note the key is invalid. They have 7 days to respond and if they don't sort it out for you you can request a refund through the site. Hopefully the seller comes good and sends updated keys in next 24 hrs.

Just a heads up I have also been having trouble trying to purchase a key from cdkeys.com. They keep reviewing my purchase and rejecting it after I buy. Just a heads up that the process of buying one of these cd keys is tenuous. I have managed to secure 2, however three other attempts are in limbo across a couple of the sites listed. Hoping I get refunded for them but who can say for sure - it's also a massive hassle dealing with the follow up when they don't work. I know some people in here have gotten lucky buying the keys but others have not - be warned.
- agalea101 on 11/09/2020 - 14:07

G2A have suspended my account now too due to "suspicious activity", maybe because the VPN turning on and off, but at least I got the codes before that happened!

- dwhes on 12/09/2020 - 13:46
  
  Yep it’s worth it. I did it with 7 months to run on mine. I got 3 years for $110. Bit more now but still. I basically paid $110 for an extra 29 months as I’m effectively forfeiting 7 months on my old account. Given the only other cheap way to get ultimate is jb hifi half price sales when they’re on which equals about $100 for 12 months. So I’ve still come out way in front.

      New account. No way to add to an old account unfortunately. The deal only works on an account that doesn’t have an active ultimate subscription.

Turned on recurring billing for 1 extra month, turned it off and back on for another extra month.

"Your subscription will end on 11/12/2022"

Both keys didn't work ('key cannot be redeemed, contact seller')
Seller refunded full amount when contacted.
dlcx on 14/09/2020 - 14:04

I bought from mtcgames (2 x 12 month Brazil)… in two separate transactions as didn't want to go "all in" in case it didn't work.

mtcgames did feel a little dodgy, esp in the checkout process… but both separate transactions ended up working. Takes 15 mins or so for the code to be sent through on purchase.
Keys didn't have any issues activating.

One con with mtcgames was that I didn't like having to provide my mobile number but alas.
Was curious that I got a group facetime call few hours later from 3 x unrecognisable phone numbers, since blocked all the numbers…. but can't say for certain related. Could have been a coincidence perhaps. Nothing else odd since then. Anyone else have this occur?

I had to then buy a month of games pass ($15) as wasn't eligible for the $1 conversion.

  Saw you fixed your own issue below. Onya mate.

  You could wait a month

    Will it still be there? I actually think I got 2 free months as I had it selected twice….

      Unfortunately, as with many of these money saving techniques we use, it's the risk each of us must individually evaluate. The $1 Upgrade could be around for a day or a year. I assume MS is trying to streamline their service into 1 universal pass to become competition to services like Stadia, Geforce Now, or even Steam.
      
      Optionally, if selling the code isn't appealing, you could upgrade your account to Ultimate now and then use the 12 month Live code to get another 4 months Ultimate. Once Ultimate is active any Live codes attached to the account afterwards are converted based on their value, MS has a list detailing these.

For those that stuffed up and added the “free” months for subscribing meaning you couldn’t add the 3rd year.

You can convert it to Game Pass at a ratio of 4 months for 12 once you’ve completed the above. I had two extra free months so ended up with a total of 2.5 years.

Better not to stuff it up!

  Good tip

  Why not just wait for those free months to be used up, other than the risk that MS could withdraw the offer before then.

still working, bought codes from MTC, used the VPN as per OP's instructions and $1 offer for Ultimate Game Pass.

  Did you buy 3 years or 2? I get errors trying to ultimate after activating 3 years worth of gold.
  - lglglg on 15/09/2020 - 19:38
    
    Bought 3 years on MTC, took about 5 hours to receive the codes but all 3 worked. What error are you getting? If the $1 upgrade doesn’t work, you will have to pay the $15 bucks to upgrade instead.

      When I activate the $15 month subscription, it shows the below.

      So it takes about 5 hours after you get the payment receipt email? I'm guessing you get another email with the code on it?

Used MTC and followed instructions. Worked fine

No problems previously, now getting "Contact whomever you got this code from. It can't be redeemed." when attempting to redeem a spare Brazil code on another account while using a Brazil VPN.
