35 Months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $80.72 (New Users) / $95.67 (Lapsed Users) @ Eneba

2260

For anyone who still hasn't bit the bullet on the previous Game Pass Deals, this comes out a bit cheaper than the last few deals.

As pointed out by https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/12210947/redir that the max stacking allowed is 36 months, use the following steps to get 35 months of Game Pass Ultimate:

  1. Purchase 8 codes
  2. Redeem code on http://redeem.microsoft.com/ or your xbox
  3. Enroll for auto renewal to get one extra month
  4. Turn off auto renew
  5. Repeat 7 more times
  6. Purchase Game Pass for $1 or $15.95(whichever is applicable to you) from https://www.xbox.com/en-AU/xbox-game-pass

Some maths for anyone who is interested (includes the $5.4 fee charged by Eneba)
New User:
(8 x 9.29)+ 5.4 +1= 74.32+5.4+1= $80.72 ($ 2.3 per month)

Lapsed User:
(8 x 9.29)+ 5.4+15.95= 74.32+5.4+15.95= $95.67 ($2.73 per month)

  • Took a little while but worked for me.

    Note: Microsoft seems to be doing a $0 charge on your credit card when you enabled renewal.
    Doing this multiple times flagged my credit card for fraud.

  • Thx op for this. Can anyone out more detailed steps for someone who has existing auto renewal subscription? My kid uses Xbox with 15$ a month. So I should stop auto renewal and wait it to lapse and then start this process?

  • Do I do step 6 last after redeeming the 8 codes? (Purchase Game Pass for $1 or $15.95)

  • -1

    Or you can just do Game Pass and Microsoft Rewards quests and pay nothing. I haven't paid a cent for Gold/Ultimate since late 2019

    • +2

      Approx how much time do you spend per week doing Game Pass/Rewards quests to have enough points to pay for GPU each month?

      • Honestly not that much at all. The Bing searches & Daily Quizzes on Rewards alone will get you around 200-250 per day for about 5-10 minutes work. Doing the Game Pass daily quest is a simple as opening a game pass game and that's another 10 points. Weekly quests are usually easy and don't take very long either. I can usually get the required 6800 points (I'm level 2) in around 3 weeks. This gets you one month Gold which converts to 20 days Ultimate, so i'm always able to get enough points to keep ahead of the auto renew. If you keep up your daily/weekly streaks and do the Monthly Quests there's more points again.

  • Thank you OP.
    If anyone is wondering, this works if you have an active PC Game Pass subscription (I was on the $1/3 month deal)

    • Cheers. Came to ask that very question. Will give it a crack.

      EDIT shouldn't have bothered. See below. =[

      • Didn't work? I can't see the post your referring to "see below".

        • Really? I've written a 3-part novel down below.

          In short: you can load up Xbox Gold Live subs with an active PC Game Pass. But I cancelled it "effective immediately" (MS even refunded me the $1) before converting XBL to Ultimate.

          Don't buy codes from PayForKey on Eneba, use VA Games. Proper global keys with the bonus month. Good luck!

  • Still trying to get my head around the maths here.
    I got 7x 3 month codes, plus a free month for doing the recurring dance, that should be 28 months of Gold.
    But when I converted to GPU, I ended up with 31.5 months.
    How?

    Worked it out. I also paid them $15.95 as part of the GPU upgrade.

    So in total, $92 for 31 months.

    • HI dvydra, you mention you were an active PC GPS. Did you cancell the subscription before you redeem all the pass then upgrade back to GPU? I am on the same boat but don't understand what should I do after review all other comments. So how did you do to make it work?

  • It must treat you as a new user when you haven't been subbed for (x) amount of time. I remember trying gamepass for $1 when it first launched in beta back in 2019. Haven't used it since. Just did this method and it let me take advantage of the $1 for the first 3 months.

    Anyway, thanks OP! Worked like a charm.

  • Thanks OP!
    All good till May 2025 :)

  • Just tried to buy. Did the confirm email and phone number thing.
    Then Eneba is telli g me something went wrong and their team is on to it.

    • Codes recieved eventually.

  • So, just cancel month to month Ultimate that I am on currently and then rejoin as a lapsed user?

    • Yep. Probably need to wait for your month to expire though.

  • Has anyone else had issues getting Microsoft to accept their credit card to pay for the month of ultimate after turning off and enabling auto renew so many times?

    • Waited a couple days and tried again and the Microsoft store accepted my card - maybe just needed the $0 pre auth's to fall off.

  • Worked perfectly, well except i bought one too many 3month passes due to already having a live membership but will just save that for another day
    Thank you

    • Just confirming - you had Xbox live gold prior to activating these codes and it still worked to get game pass ultimate? I have Xbox live gold until April 2023 but still wanted to do this deal.
      Thanks!

  • Done! 35 months at $82.74 (28 Degrees) + $1 for a brand new subscription.

    Could someone please confirm if recurring subscription can be cancelled after step 6 (Purchase Game Pass for $1)? The Microsoft 'Turn off recurring billing' screen is slightly different than it was when I was cancelling 8 * Live Golds. It is now saying that if I turn off recurring billing I will lose all the benefits of Ultimate Pass. Or at least this is the way I read it.

    • Yes, same concept. Just turn off recurring billing, there's another confirmation screen before you confirm and this will tell you the details.

  • Avoid seller PayForKey on Eneba. Just bought 8 "global" keys, supposedly "Can be activated in Australia" and they all failed to redeem.

    "This code can't be redeemed. It was purchased in a different region from your account.

    GeoRestricted"

    Now have to wait for Eneba to refund/replace. ffffffuuuuuuuuuu……

    • +1

      Out of curiosity, and because average length of time to resolve support tickets on Eneba is 96hours(!!!), I tried the Turkey VPN thing used in previous deals and this allowed me to redeem the codes. Albeit stupidly slowly.

      However the extra month for enabling recurring billing each time never worked. I turned it off and on every time. After the fifth or sixth attempt MS claimed that my bank wouldn't verify my CC.

      And one of the codes activated but didn't extend my actual subscription. I tested all 8 codes again and all said they had been redeemed, but my Order History only shows 7 $0 redemption transactions and they don't list the specific codes used. So in the end I've only got 21 months of Gold Live for $79. And I assume I'll have to pay another $16 when I do the Ultimate conversion, so fingers crossed that works.

      If I try to contact MS I fear they'll notice all the VPN GeoRestricted stuff and just can my whole account.

      • +1

        Figured I won't be getting a refund for anything from Eneba and it'll still be cheaper to try and max out the 36 months before Ultimate conversion. So I bought 3 more 3 month codes off the VA Games seller mentioned above. These worked without a VPN and I was prompted to turn on recurring for the bonus month after hitting NEXT on the redeem page.

        The crappy NOTGlobal-Turkish codes from PayForKey did not have this prompt and are not valid for the bonus month. I was manually enabling/disabling recurring from the main subscriptions page each time to no effect.

        So my 35 months ended up costing a bit less than $120 (lapsed user) all up. Obviously as an OzBargainer I will lose sleep over this for many nights until the next good bargain gives me that dopamine hit.

        tl;dr avoid PayForKey on Eneba.

        • ive been backing and forthing with Eneba and they want me to go to Microsoft to sort it out. i logged in again to my account for microsoft today to double check some things and my subscription period was extended to Jan 2025, then when i did the upgrade to Ultimate for $1 for one month with an extra 2 free months, my account now says June 2025 is when my subscription ends.

      • Argh, this exact thing happened to me with the 8 codes and only 7 showing in my MS account and only getting 28 months though. but when i tested all my codes again, they all say redeemed. i raised tickets with Eneba for the two codes that i think let me down saying that they didnt give me the 4 months that they should have, ill wait to hear from them, and if they dont issue me new codes, ill then go bother microsoft.

  • So if I'm an existing member I just turn off auto renewal and then follow the OP steps once my current month expires?

  • I'm already subscribed but stacking months. I redeemed code and it converted from gold to GPU but not getting the option for a free month if I Turn on recurring billing. Anyone else had this?

    • +2

      You have to redeem the codes while your GPU has lapsed, otherwise it won't work

  • Good deal. Paid around $82 to get XGPU til May 2025, which is even lower than the full price of one hard copy game

  • Excellent deal, paid slightly more last night (about $101 as a lapsed user) but still incredible value. Renewed through March 2025!

    Instructions clear as day.

  • Getting this message as i have an active telstra subscription - its been cancelled now - but do I have to wait out the month before redeeming? should i buy these codes and sit on them until the 27 July when my subscription ends and redeem then???

    "Redeeming your Prepaid Xbox Live Gold 3 Month code will automatically convert to a shorter duration of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and will be added to your current Xbox Game Pass Ultimate account. See conversion information. By redeeming this code, you agree to this conversion. All membership conversions are final and conversion ratios are subject to change for future code conversions. If you choose not to redeem at this time, you can keep your code and redeem it prior to its expiration date, if any.

    Your existing Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription ends on 7/27/2022

    After this code is redeemed, your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription will end on 9/17/2022

    • Yeah, you need your Game Pass to be expired before the process works. Buy now while cheap and save them for a few weeks.

      I'd also fight tooth and nail to disconnect your account from Telstra. Any funny buggery on their side (e.g. moving to Optus) and they can and will overreach to cancel your Game Pass - even though you are now paying separately for it. Happened to a few people from what I recall reading.

      • Yeah I cancelled through chat. But it’s already logged in my Microsoft account so it has to laps. Paying $15 for game pass doesn’t concern me, there’s 3 or 4 games I play over each year that I get the value, but this is too good to pass up.

  • Do any of the steps require logging to Turkey via VPN as with previous Eneba deals or its just the 1 - 6 steps outlined in this post?
    Can a person buy 1 test it and then buy the remained 7 to add them later the following days to avoid the CCard being repetetively checked by Micrsosoft and potentialy denied?

    • +1

      Depends which seller you buy from on Eneba. It's sorted by cheapest by default. I got keys that claimed to be GLOBAL but only worked through Turkey VPN and didn't qualify for the bonus month. See above. Use VA Games if possible.

      You can buy single codes, test them, then buy more if you want to be cautious and avoid the CC issue. You only convert the Xbox Live Gold to Ultimate as the last step.

      • yup makes sense now, good to know

        Re: It's sorted by cheapest by default. and See above. Use VA Games if possible.
        Guessing one can search on ENEBA and pick and choose e.g. "VA"

  • Thanks just did it. Was quite a process with 8 codes

  • Worked thanks, pretty sure I forgot to disable reoccurring billing one time but it still applied additional month. Could not verify as I did not forget again.

  • +1

    AUD$83.19 total including $1 for 3 months
    Got 3 years, well worth it, thanks guys 👍👍👍👍🎉🎊

    NB: get global xbox live, no vpn or turkey required 😜😝😆

  • will i be able to this when i have an active subscription?

  • July 2025 for $81. You Ripper! Thanks OP.

    PS. Longo Digital was the reseller and codes delivered instantly

  • +1

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

    • +1

      stuck in the same problem, how did you go?

      • No good. If I change the store region I get further in the process but then my payment method fails

        • +1

          request a callback from support, they will fix it,
          don't know why lost 2 months, but still good.

  • did anyone else have some codes that didnt increase the subscription period and even though auto renewal was selected during the redemption process, when you log in to the account to cancel auto renewal, it says auto renewal is already off?

    currently my subscription says it expires October 2024 (without having done the 3 month extra for Ultimate upgrade yet.)

  • Hi All,
    I just got the 3 months for $1 deal before I saw this post. My GPU expire on 1 Sep. Is another one can tell me should I wait for the expries day to redeem this method OR cancel my current subscription now to get this method to work? I am appreciate if anyone can guide me what should I do.

      Maybe you should actually read the article, which has nothing to do with stacking Gold and converting it to GP Ultimate.

      • “Xbox has identified a fraudulent group of resellers who were stacking multiple instances of the PC introductory offer and converting it to Game Pass Ultimate.”

        So is “PC introductory offer” different to what is being purchased in this deal?
        I’m completely new to Xbox so I’m not sure what’s going on but don’t want to get caught up buying something that then gets banned.

    • Go this back from Eneba when i shared the article with them during a support ticket due to some of my codes not work.

      This is a direct copy and paste of their response to the article:

      Well, this article is clearly directed to people who exploited the Microsofts Game Pass Ultimate glitch, where you stack up 3 years of live gold and redeem one month of game pass to convert all your live gold subscription to GPU for the fraction of the cost, so if you were not exploiting the system there is no need for you to be worried about.

      Thank you for your cooperation, and we will be waiting for your reply.

  • 1, all these code are Turkey codes
    2, for unknown reason , they are also " Global" codes.
    3, to convert is legit.
    4 chance to get cancelled is relatively low compare with purchase with stolen ID and credit card.

    Anyone got this to work in the last few hours? Took ages to stack the codes due to the pre-auth flagging at the bank.
    I've got Live Gold until feb 2025 but can't get it to approve the upgrade to GPU :/

    "We're having trouble processing your payment"

    • just did the process 1 hour ago worked for me :-)

  • just did the process now and confirmed worked for me as a lapped user (ran out week ago )

    initially bought one 3 month eneba code to see if it would add 3 months to live as a precaution and code worked fine

    proceeded to buy another 7 and followed the steps didn't get $1 deal but bought the $15.95

    1 x 3 months eneba $10.26
    7 x$3 months eneba 77.65
    1 x xbox ultimate update $15.95

    total $103.86

    xbox ultimate auto renew date is 30/06/2025

    Result: 1102 days
    It is 1102 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date.
    Or 3 years, 6 days excluding the end date.
    Or 36 months, 6 days excluding the end date.

    if i were to purchase that thru Microsoft at $15.95 a month x 36m the cost would be $574.20
    with eneba codes cost me $2.88 a month x 36m for a total of $103.86

    not a bad little saving i say :-)

  • Confirmed still working as of just now. Thanks a lot for this!

  • +1

    Hi just want to share a discount code for purchasing eneba codes: qkl2y6AKS. It will give you 10% off!

    I bought 8 codes from seller XG_Distribution for $8.56 each, $6.85 discount for 8 codes!

    I can confirm they are all global codes working flawlessly. You can try other sellers like melon game, the price is just $8.45!

    So total cost should be:
    New User:
    (8 x 8.56) x 0.9 + 5 + 1= $67.63

    Lapsed User:
    (8 x 8.56) x 0.9 + 5 + 15.95= $82.58

  • Thanks guys. Took me ages to apply the codes. The repeated enabling and disabling recurring billing caused massive banking issues.

    Called the bank. They report no problem at their end but MS won't process any payment. Called MS and they could see the failed auth attempts but blamed the bank.

    Long story short: MS said to try in 24h. Glad it's working for others. Got a series X yesterday purely for game pass and it's currently a paperweight. Hopefully tomorrow will be better 🙏

    • +1

      I suggest using Paypal as subscription payment method with MS to avoid bank auto flag problem. I did this auto renewal then cancel with paypal without any hiccups.

  • Will this work if I still have game pass until July?

    • Nope

    • Just wait until your sub runs out then do this method, otherwise your return on investment (Roi) greatly decreases.

  • Expires thurs

    • what do you mean? the bonus 1 month? the conversion?

      • 3 month deal. dunno about conversion

        • Sorry, which 3 month deal are you referring to?

          Just curious as my Games Pass expires on the 30th of June and I was looking to take advantage of this offer- The Live codes linked in the offer have no expiry.

  • I currently have the $1 for 1 month (plus 2 free months) Game Pass Ultimate promo on my account.

    Can anyone confirm, if I buy and redeem an Xbox Live code then upgrade to Game Pass Ultimate, will I still be offered the $1 for 1 month (plus 2 free months) Game Pass Ultimate promo (so basically stacking the promos)?

  • I made a mistake, i bought three vouchers and after reedeming the first one, i opted in for XBOX ultimate game pass free offer for 1 month. This upgrade my live gold to ultimate game pass but then if i redeem the next code it only gives me 1.5 months of ultimate game pass. any hacks to resolve this?

    • Let your subscription run out and do it again.

      • do we know how long these keys are valid for? Currently my subscription expires in March 2023. I can buy few more and do this later but not sure if the key will still be valid?

  • Thank you very much for this.

  • Having trouble redeeming my codes. First one went through fine now Microsoft gives me this msg
    "Try that again. Something happened on our end. Waiting a bit might help"
    Are they bad codes or am I doing something wrong?

    • I’ve just done the same earlier this morning… hopefully just an issue at MS end and it’ll work later.

      First code went through, revealed 2 more codes which both had same error… haven’t revealed any further codes & have submitted a ticket to eneba.

      Worst case I’ll try a PayPal dispute & try again through cdkeys.

      Keen to know how you get on with yours.

      • I'd say it was probably a Microsoft maintenance thing. Tried again an hour ago and all the codes worked perfectly :)
        I've been sitting on these codes for a few weeks waiting for my account to expire. All good until 2025 now.

        • Ah sweet. I tried a couple times throughout the day with no luck. Will try again when I get home.

  • Is this still working? My GPU finally expired after many years of cheap deals.

    • To answer my question, yes it still works :)

      I ended up buying 9 x 3 months subs so I could get the full 36 months as the 1 month for the price of 3 doesn't seem to be around anymore.

      It ended up costing me $95 as a lapsed member and now my GPU subscription expires on 9 July 2025

      Thanks OP!

      • 3 months for the price of 1 I should say lol

  • Thanks OP! Just bought the Series S through the Amazon Prime Sales, then found this thread. Ended up costing me $72.32 for 33 months for Ultimate. Huge saving. Thanks!

  • Lapsed user here still let me join ultimate for $1

    I think so long as it offers you can do it for the $1, sometimes they just throw it at you if you havent subbed for a month or two

    Awesome deal though!

    • It showed as $1 for me, but then when I clicked, it showed me $15.95. My subscription only lapsed a day before though

  • +1

    New user, worked for me.

    I needed to buy 9 of the 3 month codes, and each time I activated one it offered the extra month in exchange for turning on auto renewal. I went and turned it off, then activated another one.

    The last code threw an error, because the bonus month took my membership past 36 months, so I tried to reactivate the code again, leaving the extra month and auto-renewal off: it activated then and that took me to 36 months.

    Then from the subscriptions page, there was a link to upgrade to Ultimate, offered at $1, no worries.

  • +1

    Beautiful. Thank you.

    33 months added for $94 to existing (expired) account. ($2.84/m)

  • Hi please help.
    I've just purchased my Xbox series X today.
    I purchased 8 of the codes as in the instructions but realised this is Xbox live not Xbox game pass.
    The title says gamepass so I am very confused. I want the subscription that allows me to access the games not the subscription that allows me to play online - hope his makes sense.
    Does anyone know whether this is for gamepass or just playing online?

    Thanks

    • +1

      Correct this is for xbox live, if you follow the instructions op has put after you put the last code in you'll be able to upgrade to game pass for $1 or $15.95.

      • Thank you for replying.

        Excuse the stupidity but if I was to upgrade to game pass would that be to upgrade for the same 33 month period?

  • Thanks. Still works.

    Had to do 9 Codes instead of 9 and didn't claim the extra month on the last code so as not to push the date over 36 months.

  • +1

    Down to $8.12 now for 3 months card.
