Before proceeding ensure your Game Pass subscription is fully expired, auto-recurring payments disabled, and Microsoft account set to your current country of residence

A great deal for those new or with a fully expired subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and want to try Xbox Cloud Gaming which has just been released today.

If you have never used the $1 first month offer, this will cost in total $125.09 for 3 years. If you have a fully expired subscription, but have used the $1 first month offer previously, it will cost $146.70 total for 3 years.

Edit: As suggested by chorong, Gamivo has 5% off with code COOLIFE

Turkey MTCGame
Brazil MTCGame

Normally Ultimate sub would cost $15.95/mth x 36 months = $574.20, or $80/yr if purchasing cards from JB HiFi and following this same process without the need of VPN.

Please note:
  • This method is verified as working, as I've just completed it myself.
  • This only works if your current subscription has FULLY EXPIRED. New users will work fine and will get the deal $14 cheaper. If you have an existing subscription THIS WILL NOT WORK, and you will have to wait until your current sub finishes.
  • You will need a Microsoft account. Ensure auto renew/recurring payments are cancelled, and account details (especially Country) are set correctly before proceeding.
  • 36 months is the maximum that can be subscribed at once, though you can subscribe less if you wish.
  • If you wish to subscribe for 36months, and you are offered extra free months at all during this process, decline them as you can not exceed this limit and will be unable to enter your third 12 month code.
  • You will need a VPN (Comments have said that Windscribe for Chrome extension works). Although MTCGame listing says the codes are Brazil, mine were actually Turkey codes. Ensure your VPN has access to both countries, just in case.
  • Some have said MTCGame asked them to do a rigorous ID verification process to purchase their keys, there are some other options listed by f4te in comments for purchasing 12 month codes.
  • If you get RiskPolicyRejected error while redeeming codes, you need to keep trying. Try this method or this method from the comments.
Please read above and all steps below carefully before proceeding:

1. Go to MTCGame or Gamivo Edit: As suggested by chorong, Gamivo has 5% off with code COOLIFE
or CDkeys following dowey's instructions
(some other options listed by f4te in comments) and make sure country is set to Australia and currency to $AUD at the top of the page, purchase up to 3x12month Xbox Live Gold cards for $48 AUD each. Gamivo and other options prices will vary slightly.

2. You may need to verify phone number. It took roughly 45-50mins for the code to be received in my email, so don't stress too much. You will receive images of the codes all in one email. Type out all the codes into Notepad (they're in format: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX with a mixture of letters and numbers). Note that my codes were labelled "Xbox 12 Aylık Gold Üyelik (Türkiye)", and I had to use Turkey VPN to redeem.

3. Connect to your VPN (Comments have said that Windscribe for Chrome extension works), go to https://redeem.microsoft.com/?wa=wsignin1.0, login to your account (you will probably need to verify email address via security code sent to your email) and add each code. If you get an error about the wrong country, try changing to Brazil/Turkey VPN, or using an Incognito/Private window.

Edit: If you get RiskPolicyRejected error while redeeming codes, you need to keep trying. Try this method or this method from the comments.

4. Once all codes are added, go to https://account.microsoft.com/services/ and verify that you have up to the maximum of 36months. Mine said Subscription expires "September 29. 2024". It is IMPORTANT you verify all your Xbox Live Gold codes are redeemed successfully before proceeding.

5. Disconnect VPN, we will no longer need it.

6. Now that we have 36 months of Xbox Live Gold, we need to upgrade them to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. On the same page https://account.microsoft.com/services/ click on "Upgrade to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate" as seen on this picture

7. You will be taken to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate page to join. This should be the link in case you need it. First time users will see $1.00 price, expired users will see $15.95 price. Click join.

8. You will see the following dialog that you will be upgrading your membership, don't stress about current conversion ratio, etc. As long as your new renewal date matches you're good to go. Mine said "Your new Xbox Game Pass Ultimate renewal date will be: 30/09/2024"

9. Pay the $1 for new users, $15.95 for expired users via Credit Card or Paypal. Once done refresh the Services page to verify you've been successfully upgraded to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. You will also see next charge "9/30/2024, AU$15.95" or similar, pictured here.

10. Once all has been verified, you can click "Manage" on the top-right and Turn off recurring billing, in case you forget later. Its this page if you can't find it. Once your subscription lapses in 3 years, hopefully you'll still be able to repeat this process.

What can I do with my subscription?

Happy gaming :)

Credit to previous deal for the inspiration, and /r/XboxGamePass wiki for verifying the steps.

Edit: Some are reporting issues needing to verify details before being able to purchase from MTCGame. Please know that you can buy your codes from anywhere, and use this same process, MTCGame was just the cheapest that I could find.

Here are some other suggestions from f4te

If anyone has other suggestions for cheap 12 month codes please feel free to post them :)

  • irrits on 11/12/2021 - 22:11

    Also did this tonight using Eneba for about $47 per year plus the $15.95 for the extra month. I got 25 months for $111 and I'm super stoked. Thanks OP!
    PS - Eneba was awesome - only needed a mobile number for verification and all codes came through straight away.

    Don't even bother with MTCGames. Purchased 2x 12 Months Gold cards, was charged via stripe. 4 hours later, still nothing. Order still pending, contacted support and said try another payment method. Even though in their own system my transactions say completed and my credit card has been charged. Reckon they have refunded but wont provided any proof. Doubt it'll show up.

    • itsme56 on 12/12/2021 - 20:31

      Edit: Do not use AMEX in Stripe. Doesnt trigger 3DSecure and MTC will cancel your order. Communication is horrible but eventually worked out. Use an Aussie Bank issued Visa/Mastercard in Stripe. In the end ($39.36*3)+$15.95= $134 for 3 years.

        It sounds like you were successful in acquiring this deal, glad you were able to eventually get it sorted :)
        It seems your main issue was with the payment provider Stripe (though you say horrible communication with MTCGame, however your issue seems to have been sorted within about 5hrs looking at post times).
        The idea of this post isn't to advertise MTCGame (they're just the cheapest mostly), but the deal advertises quite a few stores where you can purchase these cards quite cheap.
        The idea of the post is to give detailed instructions on how to acquire this deal, as well as try and provide some troubleshooting for people who may have encountered issues, so I appreciate your post so people can search if they have a similar issue.
        I know you had an issue, but now that you've used the post to get such a great deal on Game Pass, would you mind removing your negative vote?
        Happy gaming mate, I think Game Pass is only going to get better and better! :)

        • itsme56 on 13/12/2021 - 17:33

          Sure. But your post advertises and links directly to MTCGame and such a post is therefore subject to scrutiny. Maybe consider another site to default to. MTCGame still refuse to communicate anything to me regarding the cancelled Amex transactions being refunded. Which have now dropped off as pending and have posted today. So I'm going to have to go through a dispute with Amex to attempt getting my money back.

          Point still stands re: MTCGame's communication being garbage - so stay away. Their payment system of choice allows Amex. But they themselves consider you a scammer if you use Amex. Nice business practice. Neggers must work for MTCGame if they appreciate being taken for a ride.

    Thanks, sub finally expired yesterday and did this all this morning without any hiccups. Instant codes from Eneba and my connection through Torguard was fine. I just used a different browser than usual in case there was anything in my cache which could affect things.

    Had paypal and cc payment issues through eneba and cdkeys "this card can't be used for this transaction" error. VPN related issue I guess. Tried with both windscribe and surfshark. Bit bewildered why most had no issue with paypal?

    Noticed mtcgame had Gpay option so used that instead (bonus via Gpay = no service fee!). Worked perfectly with exactly the same credit card.
    Took a couple minutes to get email asking for verification via mobile number, did that and waited another couple of minutes, got an email with the 3 keys.

    Completed the process with all the brilliant and detailed instructions above and now have ultimate for 36+1month for $117.28+$1 .

    Thank you OP! You're the best bro!

    Thanks, it worked with a small hiccup. I got 36 months from MTCGame for $117.28 + 1€.

    Sadly, I was not able to upgrade it as described. I got the following error:

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

    My account region is set to Australia, but I guess somewhere in it is still my old address from Europe. Luckily, I managed to upgrade to ultimate by switching the storefront to my old region and activating the trial there using a different currency which upgraded my account.

            • chartparker on 02/04/2022 - 07:56

              @Mistredo: You, my friend, are my hero!

              For anyone else who runs into issues with “accidentally” applying Xbox Gold to your account in the USA region, buy a 1 month Xbox Ultimate gift card from CDKeys (I tried G2A first and the code didn’t work), change your region back to USA (under “Your Profile” in your MS account) and try redeeming the gift card code.

              It even added an extra month so I ended up with my Game Pass expiring 1/5/2025. Thanks Mistredo!!

    I've been off xbox live for some time…wanted to have a look at new Halo and San Andreas over the holidays.

    Saw this post and despite sketchy reviews I went with MTCGame coz I'm cheap and don't mind a a punt.

    I tripled down and went with 3 years of Turkish 12 month codes coz their Lira's on the slide and they were only like $39AUD.

    After 48 hours, nothing…

    No code, no response from emailing them, no online chat because it is borked "for maintenance."

    Fearing I had done my dough and would have to mess about with chargebacks, I was not willing to take selfies with my passport stapled to my forehead or any of the other ridiculousness I have read in this thread.

    So I went through the 'forgot my password' process, despite not having an account.

    Was sent a link and all of a sudden my account that I did not create was there.

    Hidden under 'My Orders' were the codes.

    All's well that ends well

    Great stuff OP cheers

  • nomisg on 28/12/2021 - 10:09

    Howdy

    I'm getting errors when trying to add the codes.
    Keys bought through Gamivo
    Connected to Brazil VPN using PIA.

    It'll be added to "email" (Australia)
    "This code can't be redeemed. It was purchased in a different region from your account."

    So went in a changed the region in my Microsoft account to Brazil. But still getting the same errors.

    It'll be added to "email" (Brasil)
    "This code can't be redeemed. It was purchased in a different region from your account."

    Connected to Brazil VPN using PIA.

    So Gamivo have said not every key can be activated via the VPN method. They have offered me a refund, but a convoluted one.

    "As long as you have not redeemed the key, you may return it.

    In order to accept a return and further refund your purchase, we would like to resell it again on our platform.

    We will put the key up for sale again, and once another customer purchases it and confirms the key is unused, we will be able to offer you a refund for your purchase. Alternatively, you may gift the key to a friend or a family member."

I previously had good experience with Eneba and Turgame and chose to take that safer option for few dollars dearer. Came to A$152 on my card that has no overseas transaction fee or currency conversion fee. Installed windscribe extension on chrome and followed the steps to the letter. GPU now expires in 2025. So, A$152 plus the A$15.95 GPU 1st month fee = 3 years of GPU goodness. Kid's happy and my wallet thanks you OP!

    So I redeemed a conversion from XBL Gold to Game Pass Ultimate about 30 months ago, and I remember at the time it was said that this is a one-time opportunity to make that conversion. My GPU subscription lapsed in Nov 2021, and I'm wondering if anyone can confirm that it's possible to do the conversion again via this method after having already done it once?

    Seems unlikely that MS will remember that I've already made the conversion (and I understand I won't be getting the first month for $1), but can I dip back into the well of XBL Gold conversion again, or was it indeed a one-time thing?

    Another success story with Gamivo and PIA Turkey. Had been paying for PC Game Pass, just received my Xbox so I wanted to jump to Ultimate.

    Protip: PC Game Pass was due to expire in 6 days but I didn't want to wait for it to expire to use this workaround. I upgraded to Ultimate, it charged me $15.95, then I cancelled for an immediate $15.95 refund and the subscription lapsed immediately (rather than in 6 days as it would have). I then got to use the $1 upgrade as PC Game Pass didn't count as previous use!

      If you try and redeem Xbox Live Gold while Game Pass Ultimate is active it will convert to Ultimate months at the retail price which in this instance would only be about 15months of Ultimate.
      Unfortunately you will need to wait until your Game Pass subscription is fully expired.

      • Strixin on 05/05/2022 - 21:06

        Awesome, thank you for your response. I'll wait the 10 days for my sub to expire! Cheers!

    Just wanted to thank op. This still works and very quick/easy following the steps above. Took 10 min max. I used Eneba and the chrome VPN plugin.

      So glad it was easy for you mate 👍

  • dkNigs on 30/05/2022 - 17:28

    Does this still work? I've never had ultimate before, have 2 years of Gold loaded, and Microsoft are trying to charge me $15.95 per month conversion rate.

    • iambRad on 30/05/2022 - 22:13

      It should be, $15.95 per month is the standard rate so that doesn't sound right for a conversion price anyway. Can you provide a screenshot?

      Maybe try here: https://www.xbox.com/en-au/games/store/xbox-game-pass-ultima…

      • dkNigs on 31/05/2022 - 09:27

        That link says $1 until I log in, and then switches to $15.95 per month. I've never had ultimate before, had a big break from gaming, but have 24 months of XBL Gold loaded. Looks like I can't buy ultimate for 2 years unless I want to flush that 24 months.

        https://imgur.com/a/3TGXEsz - $1 to $15 here - concern being it states there is no way to reverse the conversion in the terms and conditions, and if it's only $15.95 after any promotional period it's really poorly defined.

        • iambRad on 31/05/2022 - 15:16

          If you have 2 years of Xbox Gold loaded up you should be able to jump into my guide from step 6.

          Do you get the same message when upgrading via https://account.microsoft.com/services/ ?

          • dkNigs on 31/05/2022 - 19:13

            @iambRad: That link is still telling me $15.95/month, the next pop up has the period of conversion in it https://imgur.com/a/0sUdwr4 but nothing seems to tell me there's a one off fee at any point. I'm worried without clarification, if I proceed and it does bill $15.95 per month, I'll be forced to cancel my credit card and lose my xbox account and any funds /gold spent entirely.

            • iambRad on 31/05/2022 - 19:15

              @dkNigs: That screenshot is normal, for the one off fee ($1 or 15.95) you will get Ultimate until 29/06/2024

              It won't be a monthly fee

              • dkNigs on 31/05/2022 - 19:22

                @iambRad: Just clarifying this is normal? It's clearly stating it will bill me $15.95 per month if I proceed. https://imgur.com/a/0sUdwr4

                • iambRad on 31/05/2022 - 19:26

                  @dkNigs: This is the same screenshot as your previous comment? It says that your renewal date is 29/06/2024 so it will charge monthly from that date unless you turn off recurring billing (step 10 in my guide).

                  See step 8 screenshot I had the same dialog when I did mine.

                  • dkNigs on 31/05/2022 - 19:32

                    @iambRad: Sorry wrong copy command for wrong operating system, here's the final I'm seeing: https://imgur.com/a/OnJRwzw

                    • iambRad on 31/05/2022 - 19:44

                      @dkNigs: Is this via the Xbox app?

                      Do you get this same message when going via https://account.microsoft.com/services/ ?

                      I'm still certain it's just setting you up for monthly payments once the renewal date comes up and absolute worst case you will be able to cancel your membership, not have to cancel your card.

                      • dkNigs on 31/05/2022 - 19:55

                        @iambRad: Well worst case I'd lose 24 months of Xbox Live Gold wouldn't I?

                        Whether I go from account services, or from the upgrade link, it does the same thing stating $15.95 per month. It did come up with the $15.95 per month crossed out with $1 in place once, but I had to take a phone call and didn't finish the process.

                        • iambRad on 31/05/2022 - 20:07

                          @dkNigs: That doesn't make sense that you would just lose it though, and the renewal date confirms that.

                          Try and get the $1 again and go for it 👍

                        • Trick619 on 27/08/2022 - 11:20

                          @dkNigs: so did you end up going through this? I'm getting the same $15.95 a month prompt as you

  • EnALup on 12/06/2022 - 16:07

    My GPU expired few days ago. Does this process still work?
    Second question: Is it better to get this deal on the account which had GPU expired or with another xbox account which didnt have gold or ultimate in last 2 years. Second account has $1 offer for GPU.

  • mikeroxoz on 20/08/2022 - 11:03

    Worked well this morning using the CDKeys option. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/11141111/redir

    Thanks OP

    Confirming still working as today, purchased from MTCGame.

    One hiccup, thanks to @pointless martyr above. After purchase, I received an email to verify phone after about 10 mins. Waited an hour no codes, went to bed still no codes this morning. Went to profile, said forgot password and reset it, logged in and the 3 x gold codes where in order history.

    The rest went as per described above.

    Cheers

  • richard86 on 22/10/2022 - 23:06

    Hello Everyone,
    I bought x2 12 month xbox gold turkey from MTC and successfully redeemed using VPN.
    Now turned off VPN and im to converting it to Ultimate pass but it wont allow me. It will say "You currently have a subscription from a different region. If it still doesnt work please contact customer support".
    This is a brand new xbox account.
    Please advise what mistake I made here.
    Much appreciated.

    • bowtiehoon on 23/10/2022 - 00:27

      Your account needs to not have a current subscription, sounds like yours hasn’t expired yet

      • richard86 on 23/10/2022 - 06:13

        I think i found out what's wrong. I forgot to change the region of my account,still new Zealand and now its asking me new zealand card for payment for the ultimate pass. I wonder if ill change the region to Australia now then ill buy one more 12 month xbox gold live then redeem via vpn, will the first too codes will concert to Australia?

        • richard86 on 23/10/2022 - 08:15

          Or could I add a 1 month ultimate game pass code and activate it with new zealand region?

          • reptilescorpio on 24/11/2022 - 17:56

            @richard86: Did you have any luck working this out Richard? I'm in the same boat, for some reason my Xbox account was in the UK region not Australia so now I can't upgrade to GamePass Ultimate!

            Would be nice to add this step in the OP too iambRad.

            EDIT: Was able to fix this by buying a global 1 month GamePass Ultimate code from eneba, keeping my UK address in my account/billing info and then redeeming the code.

            Definitely recommend adding this information to the OP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

              @reptilescorpio: Thank you very much for the information :)
              It worked for me as well, bought 10$ 1 month ultimate turkey from mtcgame,used vpn to redeem and everything got converted.

  • Berick on 02/11/2022 - 14:27

    FYI to anyone checking this thread, I just resubscribed for 36 months (3x12 month Turkish keys for $149 via Gamivo) and only had to pay $1 (not $15.95) to upgrade to ultimate.

    I'm not sure if there's a $1 ultimate upgrade promo going right now for lapsed subs, but it might be worth checking out. The upgrade to ultimate page said "1 month of ultimate for $1" but my account was upgraded up until the end of my sub (2/11/2025). My sub only lapsed yesterday by the way.

  • bogrolls on 06/11/2022 - 07:47

    To anyone wondering, I just completed this again this morning successfully.

    expired 2 weeks ago
    bought 2 * 12 months from eneba
    did the turkey vpn shuffle
    redeemed codes, although i had to have a few goes here because it at first told me it was bought for the wrong region, just waited 10 minutes and it worked
    turned off vpn
    did the upgrade to utlimate, icon said $1 but after clicking through it cost me 15.95
    all worked fine added no issues

    could get it cheaper i guess, i cbf mucking around anymore today.

  • mohito19 on 07/11/2022 - 16:35

    Anyone tried this and got the error "This purchase conflicts with one or more of your current subscriptions"? This is after entering the first key successfully, it's the two subsequent codes where it throws up that error.

    I tried the same suggestions in the RiskPolicyRejected advice with no success.

  • bobthebigbat on 10/11/2022 - 00:44

    Just done mine. 3 x 12 Month Turkey from Gamivo using Windscribe. (3% off code was the best I could find without having to join SMART).
    They wanted $15.95 for the 1 month upgrade so I used 12000 of my Microsoft rewards points for a 1 Month Ultimate code and applied that instead.
    Avoided mtcgame just in case. No issues encountered.

  • alextmb on 18/11/2022 - 19:50

    Thank you. Still working well on 18/11 via Eneba (Turkey). Much appreciated.

  • Whatisthatvelvet on 20/11/2022 - 18:09

    My Ultimate runs out soon. Bookmarked for then.

  • PonyTable on 23/11/2022 - 10:08

    Can confirm still working via MTC Game - 23/11, Using Turkey 12 Month Codes and Windscribe VPN Extension.
