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)

Note that demand for these as well as the price is going up as they put EA play on the store, and doubled the PC game pass, also they could pull the ultimate upgrade process anytime.

I got only 3 months of ultimate (plus the $15 ish subscription, so in total 4 months and change)

Any one else got the same.

I was expecting for the full 12 months of ultimate for 12 months of gold from https://www.cjs-cdkeys.com/

Hi, my game pass ultimate is expiring 20th October. If I am to use another account on my xbox, am I able to redeem Live for that account and convert that over to GamePass Ultimate before the 20th? Then use my existing account to keep playing GamePass games once mine lapses?
- Agret on 30/09/2020 - 14:02
  
  Yes as long as that 2nd account hasn't previously done the $1 conversion.
  
  If you use gamepass games on PC I'm not sure if you can download them from windows store with one account and then sign into Xbox app with your main account and play them or not though, probably console only.
  - Lion007 on 01/10/2020 - 00:54
    
    Oh awesome! So there wouldn’t be any issue having one account have Game Pass Ultimate, the secondary one having Gold Live which is then converted to game pass ultimate on xbox one? I would rather wait it out until the expiry but the Brazil 12 month passes keep going up in price!

i bought 2 keys from cdkeys which went through fine, but the third key is 'under review' :(
caitsith01 on 30/09/2020 - 21:00

Can someone explain to me why I have to wait for my current subscription to expire for this to work? Is that only the case if you are going for the full 36 months?
- Agret on 01/10/2020 - 01:11
  
  Because the subscription is from a different region it won't let you stack it. If you previously bought your XBOX Live sub card from Brazil you can reload it on without waiting.
  - caitsith01 on 01/10/2020 - 07:08
    
    Makes sense, thanks.
    - wangasm on 08/10/2020 - 23:19
      
      The actual reason is because if you have a current subscription the conversion rate is lower at 12 months gold = 4 months Ultimate. Whereas without one it's 1:1
- elli0t on 01/10/2020 - 08:08
  
  What is your current subscription? Is it Xbox Live Gold or Game Pass Ultimate?
  - caitsith01 on 04/10/2020 - 20:33
    
    Not sure, PC Game pass I think - don't pay that much attention to Microsoft's branding. I'll let it expire then try this.
Computingbullet on 01/10/2020 - 21:29

Just a heads up everyone, I had to change my account settings to Brazil to get this to work for me. The link is https://account.microsoft.com/profile/.

You may also need to give it a minute, did take a few for me for it come across (could also be the VPN being slow).

Also I bought three keys from CD keys and the third ended up being refunded back, not sure if that was a safety feature for them to stop bots.

got it for 12 months $56 all up thanks. I bought from CJS I used them before so no verification needed.
Gabehcoud on 02/10/2020 - 15:35

I purchased 3x12 months from CJs and it's gone through all fine but can't collect the keys for some reason. They said they need to manually issue them or something so would probably avoid them if you want instant codes.

  Don't worry, I had the same but they actually have quite good customer service and response times. Email them if they don't answer back quickly.
  I order originally from G2A - They were terrible and they gave used keys and attempted to keep the money (I used PayPal and got refund)
  Then used CD Keys - They refunded payment without reasoning
  Then used CJS - Working very well, gave manual verification and got the keys within a couple days.
  
  The deal is also still working for anyone wondering
  - Gabehcoud on 02/10/2020 - 23:25
    
    Yea they've now responded and said it's "fixed" but same issue remains and they've gone silent so might have to PayPal refund.
    - DeathByShopping on 08/10/2020 - 12:58
      
      @Gabehcoud Did CJS give you the keys or willingly give you a refund?

- DeathByShopping on 08/10/2020 - 07:55
  
  I purchased two keys with CJS, and they want me to send my ID to them to verify who I am.
  
  "In order to verify your account, please send:
  2 x forms of identification that shows your name/address
  AND
  Handwrite CJS and the date on a piece of paper and place it ON your ID and so it must be in the SAME image."
  
  I don't feel comfortable providing this much private information, this is how much information my bank request.

  It still converts if you have an active subscription but at a much lower rate. 12 months gold = 4 months ultimate. Not worth it.

Managed to do it buying 3 keys from www.https://www.cjs-cdkeys.com/ Went through with paypal surprisingly, given few people reported auto cancellations with paypal.
However it took 24hrs for them to approve the purchase and I had to send a support ticket for them to eventually finalise the payment.
The codes also wouldn't redeem with Private Internet Access and I had to sign up to a 30day trial account with NordVPN (gotta make sure I cancel with 30days….)
Can confirm xbox game pass ultimate until 2/10/2023
- DeathByShopping on 08/10/2020 - 13:14
  
  sobie2000 did CJS ask you to send ID i.e passport driver's licence etc to confirm your identity before giving you the keys?
imurgod on 03/10/2020 - 09:04

I'm confused.

I already have a live account.

  No you do not need to create a new account, you can use your existing account with a VPN to claim the codes.

  Most likely it will be honored if it's accepted in the first place and you won't be able to do it again in 3 years time.
Shambler on 07/10/2020 - 14:34

So this is now marked as expired - what part exactly expired? Still interested in doing this if its going to be a bit more expensive, would rather not be paying the full Aus cost!
- wangasm on 07/10/2020 - 15:32
  
  The original deal for $36 per 12 months is expired since apparently the retail price of all Brazilian codes were recently increased.
  But you can still buy and claim them with this method, it's pricier but still worth it.
Shwayne on 10/10/2020 - 23:37

Bought 1 year from Eneba, 2 years from cjs-cdkeys (as Eneba refused to take additional orders).

Upgraded for $1.

Will be charged $15.95 on the 10th of October 2023.
- cactus68 on 11/10/2020 - 23:53
  
  You did the Brazilian?
  Had your current subscription expired?
  
  Mines due to expire in a couple of days, still a bit weary on doing all this VPN Brazil etc etc stuff but see many having had success!
  - DeathByShopping on 13/10/2020 - 10:17
    
    I managed to purchase one from key for CJS and it did work via NordVPN.
    However, I was unable to obtain the second key from them as they wanted me to scan and send them my I.D in addition to my already verified mobile number. I didn't feel comfortable sending my I.D, however they did refund me for the second key eventually. The other two I got from CDKEYS and also worked with NordVPN.
cathalm8 on 13/10/2020 - 13:08

Signed up for the $1 upgrade for a year which expired recently. Added another 12 months using the brazil vpn method no problem. Trying to upgrade to games pass ultimate for $15.95 is now not working.

  Xbox keys don't expire so you should collect them asap.

    I've double checked your order and I can see that the order is now fully approved and the key is available to collect.
    Please go to our Autokey Page and collect your key.
    We have checked and made your order fully approved, so you should now be able to collect on Autokey now without any issues.
    
    So went and checked, same shit…This order cannot be collected etc etc.
    
    Emailed them back straight away saying it didn't work and no reply!
    Checked using Safari, Chrome and android phone nothing!

I bought a 12 month brazil code from first electronic and activated no problem via brazil vpn. Note that I didn't change my region for the first code to work.

I then bought a second 12 month brazil code from cdkeys however this code won't work with the same brazil vpn i used before on the iphone app or on desktop. I get the error "PUR-ConversionBlockedCurrencyCountryMismatch" . I did change my region to brazil on the xbox website before trying this code.

I note that my address / currency for recurring payments is and always has been set to Ireland and my recurring payment always comes up in euros. I think this is where the error is coming from but it does not give an option to the change the currency for recurring payments even when adding a new credit card.

I can't find any option to update the country / currency for recurring payments. Note I am aware recurring payments needs to be turned off. Did everyone who got it to work change their region to Brazil and if so how exactly did they change their region? Thanks
cactus68 on 14/10/2020 - 17:54

Part of the instructions I received for doing the BRAZILLIAN was too …

3.) Visit the Xbox.com website in INCOGNITO / PRIVATE BROWSING mode.

Why the INCOGNITO and is it necessary if switched to Brazil via my VPN?

Also can I do two codes at a time?

    Yes expired yesterday 15th.
    Did my codes today and worked for the GOLD.
    Thing is it's only just kicked over to the 16th today in the US so that's where the issue could be.
    It prob looks like the subscription was still active (even though on the xbox it had expired)
    So my 2 years of Gold he's saying will be 1 year Ultimate!
    The dude from Xbox is looking into for me but doesn't sound to confident as he has to go to support for extra info!
    I explained to him about the time diff and that could be the issue.
    - cactus68 on 16/10/2020 - 22:09

      Was because of the time difference between the USofA and us.
      Took half the day but got there. Had a left over 1 month Xbox Game Pass from when we purchased the unit
      which I added on during the process and they changed that as well up to Ultimate for me.
      26 months of Ultimate.

I really have no experience with the Xbox stuff, but the library of PC games does appeal to me. I was gonna ask whether this offer was still valid, even if the 12-month gold subscription costs a little more than the original post. I was actually wondering whether the $1 upgrade offer was still a thing, and from this link it looks like it is? https://www.xbox.com/en-AU/live/gold/upgrade

Finally managed to get it to work after a very stressful afternoon where I thought I had spent $143 for 3 years of Xbox Live Gold.

My first mistake was changing the region to Brazil when I redeemed codes as I couldn't get the codes to redeem. I later found out it was due to the dodgy VPN I was using. Using Hola VPN as someone here suggested fixed the issue.

Once I had redeemed the codes, I ran into the problem of upgrading to Ultimate Game Pass as it threw up an error saying my subscription region is different. I ended up calling the MS support and the rep was very help and basically replaced the 3 year sub with wrong region with the equivalent in the right region.

He then told me I have to wait a month to upgrade due to the 36 months limit but I was able to upgrade immediately from the website.

All up, it cost me $144, which sounds like a bargain for 3 years of gaminig.
- AtomuKirin on 10/11/2020 - 08:22
  
  was this a new account you applied this 3 year to? or was it to an existing one with a lapsed sub?

    It was for an existing account, but I had my xbox one only very briefly when it first launched and sold it.
    Obviously they never had game pass thing back then so it's an account that never had any game pass subscription.
    Got the codes from mtcgame.
- shurikan117 on 10/11/2020 - 14:03
  
  Just contacted MS support and got told that this cannot be done, no matter how much I insisted. So now I have 3 years of gold and no way to upgrade to game pass. How frustrating.

    When did you redeem the code? The guy who helped me said it's normally not possible but since I only redeemed the code the same day he sought approval to do it.
  - keejoonc on 10/11/2020 - 14:36
    
    if all else fails, you may have to try waiting for a month and redeem a 1 month GPU from the same region as your xbox live gold sub and see if that automatically converts it to GPU?
    - shurikan117 on 10/11/2020 - 15:13

        @david6509: Sticking with ausy gold would be the best idea now. I'm stuck with the brazil gold now though unfortunately.

        @shurikan117: i did see someone mention on another page they manged to get microsoft support to exchange the brazil for the aus, might be worth a try.

        @shurikan117: Had the identical issue. Fixed it by buying a 1 month game pass ultimate code from JbHiFi and redeemed. Converted my 2 years of Brazilian XBL gold into Aussie game pass ultimate.

Got this working for me.

My game pass expired a few months ago. I don't think this matter, as long as your game pass has expired, that's all it matters.

VPN not turned on.
Bought 12mths Brazil x2 from cdkeys.
Bought 12mths Brazil from CJ.

I used the chrome extension VPN provided here. Just be aware, it's very very slow and keep on throwing up connection failed.

VPN turned on and locked to Brazil IP.
Start putting in your 12mth code
*Disable Auto recurring!!!
You should now have 36 months of live gold in your account.

Turn off VPN and log out of your account
Log back in and now, an Australia IP should be linked to your account.

Upgrade your account to ultimate.
If this is the first time you've gotten a game pass, you should have the $1 offer; if not, you'll be charged $15.95.

A window will come up telling you about the conversation from your existing Brazil 36 mth to your current county of login (Australia).

Finalised the upgrade and you should now have 36mth of Xbox ultimate.

I hope this helps.

  When did you attempt this? I have been trying this for the past two weeks, almost everyday and even contacted MS support to no avail. Have you changed your region or address in your MS account?
  - PuppieWayne on 11/11/2020 - 11:14
    
    I did the above last night.
    
    Nothing in my profile was changed. I only use the VPN as suggested.
    
    I did read that sometime, it helped if you do changed the region in your profile but that wasn't required when I did it.
    
    What was the error you were getting when you tried it?
    - shurikan117 on 12/11/2020 - 07:58
      
      The issue was the fact that the gold was for brazil region. Wasn't yours? If yours was, it's possible that there is something else at play here…

        @shurikan117: Did you use a Brazil VPN when you were putting in the code for the Brazil gold?
        
        Once that's done, they don't care if your existing gold is Brazil when you are upgrading with an ultimate (Australia).. else people who moved countries will have to buy all new account, which I don't Microsoft will force you to do.
        
        shurikan117 on 13/11/2020 - 07:33
        
        @PuppieWayne: Yep, used Brazil vpn for gold. But cannot upgrade from Australia. I get asked to change microsoft store region. MS support confirmed that I have to use a Brazil vpn and change my ms account to Brazil to activate ultimate. I think this is really a hit and miss for most.

        @shurikan117: Hey were you able to do this? Which vpn did you use? Did you migrate your xbox account to brazil?
        
        cathalm8 on 16/11/2020 - 16:35
        
        @shurikan117: I have tried using a brazilian vpn but it wont work on my laptop, like I can't join ultimate vpn with or without a brazilian vpn
        
        cathalm8 on 16/11/2020 - 17:31
        
        @cathalm8: I literally just figured out to fix this. My original account was setup in ireland. I had to revert all region both on xbox and online xbox website back to ireland. I was then able to access the games pass via the xbox store on the console. thank fook for that
        
        shurikan117 on 17/11/2020 - 08:20
        
        @cathalm8: Do you mind posting some steps on how to do that?
        
        cathalm8 on 17/11/2020 - 08:37
        
        @shurikan117: The problem for me anyway, was that my currency in my Microsoft account was set to euros (account was originally setup to ireland and was never fully migrated) so when I tried to pay for gamespass either on the brazilian or australian xbox store (on console and on laptop or using a vpn and not using a vpn) there was a currency country mismatch error. This wont be the same for a lot of people here as they have probably an Australian Microsoft account.
        
        How I fixed it was I logged into xbox.com on my laptop, going to my 'Microsoft account', going to 'your info' which shows your profile, changing my region back to Ireland and then logging out. I then turned on my console and went to settings, system, 'location and language' and changed my location to Ireland and language to English (ireland). I then reset the console.
        
        Then when into the xbox store on the console and everything was in euros. I then paid for a month of gamespass in euros, it used a paypal account from Ireland / UK I think and it worked without the error.
        
        If you have a 'country currency mismatch' error its worth playing around with location and settings in both your console and xbox.com to see if one region or another may work.
