Update:
17/7: 12m gold is now cheaper at ~A$46 from CdKeys, plus the $1 deal is back to activate Ultimate cheaper. Current conversion for new/expired ultimate users is 3:2 (i.e. 3 years Gold gives you 2 years Ultimate). You end up with 25m Ultimate with the additional month, so still not a bad deal at around $5.56/m for 25m (assuming you get the $1 ultimate deal).

6/7: As suspected MS have nixed 1:1 gold conversion together with their price changes.

Good deal, similar to this expired 6m deal

Notes:

  • Will need Turkey VPN to redeem on Microsoft Account
  • Change currency to GBP to get at £25.99 (approx A$49.49 on a no fee forex card) instead of A$54 on AUD
  • If you have active XGPU the conversion ratio for 12m Gold is 4 months of Ultimate

Best value is to add 3 of these on expired XGPU accounts (turn off auto-renew if prompted to avoid getting a free month), stack up the max 36month period, then do the Gold -> Ultimate conversion trick i.e. purchase 1m or redeem cheap Ultimate code to get 1:1 conversion for the 36m Gold0> Ultimate.

Thanks to @Sammy Boi for this link: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/750589

MTCGame have it for around ~$44 after fees
Eneba around ~$48
Changing currencies might get it even cheaper.

cheers

    I want to grab 3 of these but my previous 3 years hack don't expire until March 24. Thinking it may be too risky to purchase and do the 3 year Gold to Ultimate trick?

    • scar4ace on 24/06/2023 - 19:29

      yea not recommended to hold for that long. The 3rd part codes seem to expire after some time based on others comments. Also the conversion ratio trick could be pulled, best to purchase closer to your expiry.

      I have to wait ~10 days for mine to expire but im still not comfortable holding on.

    • scar4ace on 24/06/2023 - 20:28

      update - i just got MS to cancel mine effective immediately. Didnt want to wait and reckon I should verify a deal ive posted here anyway :) . All good to 24/6/2026 for me now.

      • Tekuza on 24/06/2023 - 20:33

        How long did you have in your subscription though, I think doesn't make sense to cancel 8 months of a subscription? I wish they were like PlayStation and able to stack it for years. 😢

        • scar4ace on 24/06/2023 - 20:34

          yea only 10 days for me. worth it. Wouldnt be for 8m though

          • drinkin-beer on 25/06/2023 - 06:41

            @scar4ace: Mine expires on 28th August. Do you think it's worth it to cancel now or wait a bit?

            • scar4ace on 25/06/2023 - 09:31
              +1

              @drinkin-beer: It looks like there's a fair few sellers selling 12m XLG codes around the same price $45-$50m. So they won't just all up and vanish in 2m.
              The real question is if and when ultimate 1:1 conversion is canned. Which only MS knows. They did recently get rid of the $1 for Ultimate first month. With Game Pass price hikes coming in July I didnt want to take my chances. But I only lost 10 days. Also depends on your current monthly cost too.

  • Timmmy76 on 24/06/2023 - 19:50

    Done everything you said it keeps coming up with please disable VPN and try again, tried a few times and says the same thing.

    • scar4ace on 24/06/2023 - 20:18

      what VPN ? MS may be blocking some. NordVPN worked for me.
      then go to: redeem.microsoft.com and enter code.

    • Pav42o on 27/06/2023 - 17:46

      Try from a private window or a different browser. Surfshark worked for me

  • ce5himm on 24/06/2023 - 19:52

    Do I need to change account region to turkey? Or it only needs VPN? Considering ms is increasing the price, maybe better stock some of these.

  • conza on 24/06/2023 - 19:59

      • Geoff-bargain on 26/06/2023 - 14:00

        Just tried using MTC bought 1 year to make sure it was ok then when buying years 2-3 they want to do identity check. I'm using virtual card from wise.com so dont know what they will say when photo doesn't have picture of card in it.

  • theguyrules on 24/06/2023 - 20:22

    Mine expires in 6 days. Hope this lasts.

    • scar4ace on 24/06/2023 - 20:26

      Mine was 10 days, I got on to MS support and got them to cancel it effective immediately.
      Redeemed the codes and did the upgrade and now mine expires 24/6/2026.

      Sammy has linked another deal with similar prices so you should be OK I reckon. (if you wish to purchase on or after expiry )

    • Sammy Boi on 24/06/2023 - 20:27

      Cancel your current subscription via my subscriptions on the console I would never sit on third-party codes from these sites

      I've also done what OP suggested and directly contacted support in the past it works fine as well

      • theguyrules on 24/06/2023 - 21:06

        I won't buy them yet.
        Does cancelling using the interface work immediately?

        • Sammy Boi on 24/06/2023 - 21:07

          I haven't tried that way yet. back in 2021 I did this and just contacted live chat

  • Rukiata on 24/06/2023 - 20:30

    so you have to pay for three of these? and how much years do you get after?
    how much is it all up??

    • scar4ace on 24/06/2023 - 20:39
      +1

      yea 3 if you want to max out the subscription. Given prices are going up from July and MS may discontinue the 1:1 conversion for gold to ultimate its would be advisable to max it out.

      3y XLG Turkey was £78 (A$148) + 1m XGPU directly for $15.95 = A$164 for 3 years XGPU

        what is 1m XGPU directly
        ???
        also my laptop i just got has 1 month i think i could use that instead or just buy it

        • scar4ace on 24/06/2023 - 20:42

          Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

          After redeeming the xbox live gold codes to your Microsoft account, you need to purchase the GPU sub, to convert the 3y of xbox live gold to ultimate.

        • scar4ace on 24/06/2023 - 20:45

          yes if you have a GPU code you should be able to use that instead AFTER you have redeemed the 3Y of XLG. As long as you activate XGPU after it will convert your remaining XLG subs (3Y) to GPU subs.

  • Timmmy76 on 24/06/2023 - 20:59

    So would it be wise to purchase a few codes and use them in a few months, or is that a bit risky?

      Nah, risky

  • postform on 24/06/2023 - 21:17

    I'm confused.

    So I got a old Microsoft account with no active subscription.

    Is this eligible to use?

      Yes, as long as no active subs

  • LoserScott on 24/06/2023 - 21:30

    Me and my partner after doing this deal 2 years ago on Oz bargains made a horrible mistake and ended up with a turkey account, our credit was in lira.

    After the subscription ended.

    Our monthly plan in Turkey is 3.40$ a month for ultimate, it's a dummy account but we can access everything still with the mistake account, now it's the best decision no more silly hold migration crap.

    Right now Lebanese pound is cheaper 0.90 cents a month for ultimate.

    Im not putting this up to help you, I don't care what you do, but it works for us.

    • scar4ace on 24/06/2023 - 21:34

      I always use my prepaid CC (has its own account in my online banking) for these shenanigan websites/tricks. I only put in the prepaid account what I need to spend, if they try to over charge or come back for more funds later then it fails on them.

    I can confirm this works, I just did this:

    Bought 3x codes as per instruction (changed to GBP, no VPN, and used ING no fee card) = $148.90

    Enabled Istanbul VPN using Windscribe and redeemed 3x Gold codes.

    Disconnected VPN, clicked the "upgrade to game pass ultimate" in https://account.microsoft.com/services = $15.95

    Total $164.85, expires 24/06/2026.

  • Mike0707 on 26/06/2023 - 09:34

    Why do you recommend the 3 month code initially? why not just redeem all the gold all at once and then do the ultimate 1 month conversion

    • scar4ace on 26/06/2023 - 16:32

      Yea 3 x12m codes is the way

  • Geoff-bargain on 26/06/2023 - 17:33

    Highly recommend not using MTCGame - they want you to send your passport to verify ID which I definitely don't trust them to store securely.

    • Pav42o on 03/07/2023 - 19:17

      Did you get a refund?

  • thekow on 15/07/2023 - 09:08

    Just confirming this still works as of now?
    Need some ultimates!

    • scar4ace on 15/07/2023 - 11:48

      You can still get the 12m XLG codes and stack up to 3y but the conversion rate for new/expired users is now 3:2 meaning you only end up with 2 years xbox ultimate.

      On the flip side, it's cheaper now at ~A$45 for each 12m gold, plus the $1 GPU deal is back so that's another $15 saving so might still be worth your while.

      You can compare with ISPs Turkey deal if you can set all that up might work out cheaper

      • thekow on 15/07/2023 - 14:40

        Hi is it possible to buy one 12 months then test it then buy another one or do you need to convert it all at once? I'll be trying it later today.

      • scar4ace on 15/07/2023 - 15:15

        You could but once your GPU is active the remaining codes are converted in a lesser ratio believe it's 3:1 i.e. 4m ultimate for 12m gold.
        Max benefit is converting gold first time as inactive ultimate user .

        • thekow on 15/07/2023 - 16:17

          Ok thanks for the help!

  • Obake on 18/07/2023 - 11:33

    Now that XLG is getting changed to Game Pass Core (GPC), I'm assuming this is a good time to stock up and convert our XLG to Ultimate?

    • scar4ace on 18/07/2023 - 12:20

      Yes/No/Maybe…only MS knows

      Looks like XLG will translate directly to GPC. On upgrading from Core to Ultimate existing conversion rates may (likely) will still work, or may not.

      • Obake on 18/07/2023 - 12:56

        I didn't think about that. So if we wait till XLG gets converted to GPC 1:1 then convert GPC to GPU?

        So we should still stack up on XLG while we can?

        • scar4ace on 18/07/2023 - 13:04

          Yea I would tbh if planning on get ultimate. Going by the recent change, MS will only make things more exxy/difficult …

          • Obake on 18/07/2023 - 14:31

            @scar4ace: So for those new to this (I've been trying to avoid this and stick with XLG) here are the current conversion rates:
            https://support.xbox.com/en-AU/help/subscriptions-billing/ma…

            Xbox Live Gold and PC Game Pass conversion ratio: Any remaining time will convert to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate time at a ratio of 3:2 and be rounded up to the next full day. For example, 90 days remaining of Xbox Live Gold or PC Game Pass will convert to 60 days of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate time.

            Xbox Game Pass for Console conversion ratio: Any remaining time will convert to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate time at a ratio of 4:3 and be rounded up to the next full day. For example, 90 days remaining of Xbox Game Pass for Console will convert to 68 days of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate time.

            No idea what converting GPC to Ultimate will be, but since it's only a $1 difference between GPC and XGP it should be similar 4:3 ratio?

            I just tested my XLG which expires 5/7/26, converting it to Ultimate gave new a renewal date of 14/8/25. So ~$150 worth of XLG for almost 25 months of Ultimate (~$470 worth ($18.95/month))

            And cdkeys have 12month Ultimate for $210, or $150 from other key sites

            I might just bite the bullet and convert it now and not wait.

  • Bigj1er on 18/07/2023 - 19:45

    If I already have GPU that's going to expire next month, am I best off just buying these and doing the 3:2 conversion to atleast save some coin?

    Or can I not add gold to an account that already has GPU active?

    • scar4ace on 18/07/2023 - 19:57
      +1

      If you add gold now it auto converts to ultimate at a worse rate of 3:1.

      Best wait for expiry then stack 3x12m gold and convert to Ultimate (buy or redeem an Ultimate code) to get the 3:2 conversion.

      • Bigj1er on 18/07/2023 - 20:25

        Do you know if I can sign up on an account that doesn't have Ultimate/ one of my alt accounts? Or will it register that I have a GPU account already on the console?

        • scar4ace on 18/07/2023 - 20:28

          You can have multiple accounts with GPU signed in on console. MS just want your money.

          Gold is being removed from mid Sep so you should have time to wait…

          • Bigj1er on 18/07/2023 - 20:42

            @scar4ace: Won't offer me the free 1$ Ultimate On the account I let expire though will it? Maybe I should wait until August 10th and let it run out..

            • scar4ace on 18/07/2023 - 21:13

              @Bigj1er: Ah I see what you mean. The $1 offer doesn't seem like everyone's getting it anyway guess that's just a bonus.
