[XB1, XSX, PC] 3 Months Game Pass Ultimate $1 (Both New and Some Old (Lapsed) Subscribers) Inc. EA Play & Disney+ trial @ MS

2720

I was hoping this deal would also happen for previous Game Pass subscribers and here it is! There is another deal specifically for new subscribers but thankfully old (lapsed) subscribers can now get the deal too. You know the drill, lots of great games to play over the next three months. Xbox Live included for online multiplayer. Over Christmas there are usually some very decent Deals With Gold (Game specials that require gold), so for $1 you'll also get access to that.

You will get Games With Gold (Free games every month) - You get to keep Xbox One games while you have a subscription to Xbox Live Gold. You get to keep Xbox 360 games even when your subscription/s expire. Some months in the past have come with decent games. But it can be hit or miss depending on what games Microsoft chooses to give.

Includes EA Play and the Disney+ trial offer (Claim by 31/1/21. Redeem by 2/3/21).

As far as I know, Game Pass Ultimate includes Game Pass for PC, so I've added relevant details to post.

Note- it works for me and says 47 more days left to join but I'm not 100% sure it will work for all previous subscribers. Based on the comments, it looks like it usually works if you have an expired subscription, i.e. you do not currently have an active subscription. For reference, the last time I had Game Pass Ultimate was August (it was also a discounted deal). If you have had Game Pass Ultimate/Xbox Live Gold (in particular a DISCOUNTED DEAL) more recently, it most likely WILL NOT work for you - Microsoft is being generous but they do not appear to be offering it to those who have recently taken advantage of other special GPU/XBL offers.

Since there appears to be 47 days left on the offer, those with expiring subscriptions theoretically should get access to this deal when their subscription ends (if ending within the next 47 days).

It looks like plenty of ex-subscribers have been able to take up this deal. Sorry to those it hasn't worked for, presumably it has to do with how recent your last Game Pass subscription/discounted subscription/free trial/Xbox Live Gold was.

Mod: Duplicate Exception - More than 100+ votes at the time of resolving reports, so it won't be considered either way. Updated the title to 'some' lapsed subscribers, due to differing success in comments, take the lapsed subscribers part of the deal as targeted (not the new subscriber part).

    Which offer for new members?

    • Know if this can be cancelled at any time?

      • I just stopped the recurring billing

        • Tezza, where did you do this?

          • @Pred8r: Under My account at microsoft.com or xbox.com.
            I paid the $1 via Paypal so stopped the recurring payment in Paypal too

  • +10

    Doesn't work for me, but I'm good until 14/05/2023

    I probably should sell my account, I don't really use it.

    • I'll buy it off you for $1

      • Come now, that's worth at least $12.

      • I'd make $1 profit, hmmmm. Decisions, decisions.

  • Can I get hundreds of these and use it consecutively on same account

    • +6

      Yeah because someone in grade 2 programmed it all you can do that

      • +1

        yikes I didn't learn programming till i was at uni.
        Please tell me which school you went to so i can take my children to it

        • +5

          I know you're being sarcastic, but it's now in the Australian Curriculum to digital technologies in primary school and quite common for students to do some form of programming.

          • @misteranderson91: I actually thought it was selling those digital passes lol.
            Didn't realise it was directly from xbox site connected to your account

            • @michael9865: Just wait for ANZ Dell alienware to offer free codes again, they seem to do so every 6 months or so, and I know some users get multiple codes and stack them

  • My Ultimate expired a few weeks ago.
    That link works for me, I checked on the dashboard, the offer is there too when I try to join.

    Thank you!

    How exactly do you get this to work for existing members?

    • +1

      It's for new and previous (lapsed) members only, not for currently active members.

      • +1

        i am a previous (lapsed) member doesnt work

  • PC game pass?

    • There is a link in the middle of the page.
      $1 for one month, not 3 for PC it seems.

      • +2

        Ultimate includes both PC and Xbox pass

        • Thanks but keep spinning after clicked on it.

        • +2

          Cool, but my PC sucks for games.

          • @fredk1000: Same - Cloud streaming is supposed to become available 1st half of next year.

            Bought 3 months for $1 now just in case :)

            • @Vorsprungdurchtech: Good.

              I had the chance to get the $1 deal but I thought I would wait a few more days.
              The offer is still invalid for me, had the chance.

              This is the 2nd time I thought I would wait, I never learn it seems.

              I don't have time to play anyway.

  • +3

    Old subscriber here, doesn't work for me.

    • Same, I don't know what the cutoff is

    • Worked for me

  • I have just under 2 weeks remaining and it doesn’t work for me ;(

    I click the $1 deal and it takes me to the $15.95 deal

    • +2

      Needs to be expired.
      It says for me offer expires in 47 days, so try again it two weeks! The offer will be still there.

      • Ok thanks

  • it is showing 15.95$ to me
    Is the deal targeted?

    • Only for people not on expired / elapsed Game Pass Ultimate.
      Not quite sure whether using 1 month voucher for Game Pass (console) would re-activate Game Pass (console). If yes, then there is a chance to back convert up (and potentially take the $1 deal).

      • My Ultimate subscription elapses on on 6/1/2021.

        • +1

          So you have an active subscription… then no, you cannot take this deal.
          But there is a way around it, use account #2, so your primary can still share Game Pass till March 2021.

        • bloody hell. how hard is it to understand the simple requirement that your subscription needs to have expired?

          • @keejoonc:

            [XB1, XSX] 3 Months Game Pass Ultimate $1 (BOTH New and Old subscribers)

            this was the post headed when I commented

            • @umeshktangnu: I don't know about you but when I see "Old subscriber", the first thing that comes to my head is people who subscribed before but not currently subscribed.

  • +2

    OP, unfortunately, it doesn't work for people on elapsed Game Pass Ultimate.

    For people on elapsed Game Pass Ultimate to take this offer, they will need to back convert to Game Pass (standard) or XBox Live Gold and then Microsoft might offer a re-convert for $1.

    • Is your gold expired too?

      I think both needs to be expired, mine expired about 3 weeks ago but works today, not yesterday though.

      • Both gold, game pass expired. Ultimate elapsed a month of two ago. Was using 14 day trial vouchers for gold (and those don't seem to switch the membership). Looking at the Web site, Microsoft is showing I am on Ultimate, but subscription has elapsed. No discount.

        • +1

          Mine says Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
          Expired on 11/12/2020
          and I get the offer.

          How odd yours says that.

          Maybe try again later, offer expires in 47 days.

    • I can confirm that. I had a Game Pass Ultimate $1 offer a while ago in the past which expired and I changed to Game Pass for PC.
      I had 2 months of Game Pass for PC and I was able to take this offer so I now have 5 months of Game Pass Ultimate.

    • It's not, that one specifically says new subs. This one old subs can get it!

      This is actual link to dealbots post in his post.

      • +5

        It is a dupe, because "and Old (Lapsed) subscribers" is not true. I am in that category and it is still $15/month for me.

        • Works for me, mine expired last month.
          So it's true for some it seems. Try again another day 47 days till expiry of offer.

          • @fredk1000: Technically, I have previously done this $1/month conversion / deal twice. So, if Microsoft lets me, this would be the 3rd time.

            I tried using a Game Pass Console 1 month voucher, hoping it would make a difference, but still the same… $15.

            Before Game Pass Ultimate was introduced, it was a lot easier to get Game Pass Console $1 deals.

  • +2

    I haven't had a subscription for probably a year now, but this worked perfectly for me - 3 months of Ultimate for $1! Thanks OP. Kids will be happy over the school holiday period!

  • +1

    Just to clarify, you CANT have an existing subscription and access this deal. I think OP said old subscribers he meant lapsed, it kinda is a bit confusing but basically u cant have game pass now and get this.

    So many great games in there atm too with Haven, Monster Sanctuary and Jedi Fallen Order etc joining recently. I honestly can't keep up.. i get game anxiety cos i gotta play em all

    • +1

      thanks makes sense now

    • my subscription expired a week ago, i don't have any subscription active now., but it does not work for me, is it targeted?

      • hmm.. the deal does say your FIRST 3 months are $1 only; maybe if you used a deal like this before it won't work at all? That would be my guess.

        • maybe, i used the first time 1 month free, probably last year.

      • You maybe need to be off it a longer time

        • Hmmm, mine expired early 2020.
          I waited forever to to see a $1 for a month free offer(or any offer) on the dashboard, that was in October 2020. Joined that.
          That expired in Nov, so a month passed.
          This offer works for me.

          Try again tomorrow I think.

            @fredk1000: Expired $1 Ultimate Pass subscriber here.

            Currently have an active Gold subscription and it allows me to get $1 Ultimate for three months.

  • where is the JB buy 3 mths get 3mths free deal? they didn't do it during Black Friday.

    • No where to be seen

    • I have a feeling we won't see that again :(

  • There is Disney+ 30 day offer too included. (Only if you are 18+ it seems).

    • +1

      Unreasonable neg, worked on mine and others lapsed accounts.

      May be based on if you've used the $1 offers in the past.

      • So, at best, it's targeted. Or just a dupe. Worded differently for no reason.

      • Lol how is it unreasonable, misleading title wasting people's time

  • +2

    Shows $15.95 for me. I have used a $1 conversion in the past

  • Worked for me. I'm an active subscriber for regular Game Pass and a lapsed $1 deal Ultimate deal subscriber from a while back :)

  • +2

    Also Cashrewards has $1.6 cashback on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

  • Confirmed working, thanks! Got 3 months for $1 on my existing account.

  • +3

    Got it but very buggy, trying to play games but leeps saying i need to buy game pass but when i try it says error and when i go to my account it says i have game pass. very weird.

      Same situation for me. Wonder if the xbox network down

      • +2

        Found a work around, had to like search for game on website press join then redirected me to website game as it found I had bought the pass then when I pressed install game it opened windows store and let me install game.

          Thanks, yes confirmed it work throughs MS Store, have to launch games from there and can then play. Xbox app not syncing properly.

        • Thanks for that. Same issue.

  • thx worked on lapsed ultimate

  • Good opportunity to play Call of the Sea!

  • what is the Disney+ Deal?

  • Finally got it working with incognito tab and no current game pass

    Can use this account to login to Disney+? Found it have to claim from xbox app.

  • my Ultimate expired like a month ago.. its showing me 15$ why is it not working?

    • +1

      Sorry for the off topic, but why do you put the dollar sign after the numbers? Is that a foreign thing? I’ve seen it a bit and keep forgetting to ask… doesn’t make sense to me!

      • +2

        Ha Ha Ha..
        i guess i was just being lazy… you are right it doesn't make any sense :p

      • Yeah it's usually a mistake by ESL ppl because when you read it the "dollar" comes after.

  • Sorry to be a pain but can someone who said it didn’t work explain exactly how?
    I’ve logged in (via phone) and I’m seeing the banner and offer for $1, but when clicking through to accept the pop up shows $15.95.
    I’m not sure if that means I’m ineligible and it wants to charge me fifteen bucks straight off the bat, or it’s just warning me after the 3 months it will go up to fifteen
    Thoughts anyone?

    • +1

      same, figure its not working for me. (previous/ultimate/gold that expired about 1 - 2 months ago)

    • +1

      As far as I understand it, it is saying it will charge you the $15.95 straight off the bat.

    • No one really knows why. Some people had only 1 conversion to Ultimate for $1, some people were offered twice. Maybe some people are offered more than twice.

      Basically, if you previously had Game Pass Ultimate through $1 deal, the chance of you getting offered again is much lower. If you currently have no Game Pass Ultimate, one possible workaround is to buy it on a fresh new account.

  • Not working for me. My ultimate expired in October. I see the offer in the browser but when I open it, it just shows the normal price. If I try it in the desktop app I just get an error
