Must use VPN to activate. Can convert to GPU.
No
Never had an issues with them with a few purchases
Depends on your definition of scam.
Safe, yes.
Authorised seller, no.
Nothing you buy profits the maker/supplier of the product you buy. It's grey market with keys from unknown sources.
So they sell pirated goods and ozbargain mods don't care. But getting pirated stuff for free is a big no no right?
Pirated goods? How do you pirate goods?
@belongsinforums: I never heard of pirated goods. Only pirated software. The keys these stores sell activate without issues on Steam or Xbox, so I don't get how they can be pirated.
What's the conversion rate to Ultimate at the moment?
around 3:2
3:2 isnt it?
3 years of Gold to 2 years of Ultimate
It's 1:3 now. Just got off a call to Xbox and they've confirmed it's been dropped down.
Is that 1:3 rate for current GPU subscribers who want to extend, or also for new subscribers?
On the xbox website it still says
conversion is final and non-refundable, and ratios are subject to change
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

@Scarecrow2012: I did mention to the rep that it's still listed at 3:2 everywhere and that was brushed off. All he would say was the new conversion rates were put into effect last month.
He said that was for current ultimate subscribers. People who redeem gold then convert it will get the higher conversion. So as stated in what you posted, any remaining time will be converted at 2:3, not any added time.
@d1s34s3d: My xbox sub lapsed a few months ago. I just added 3 years of gold, upgraded to GPU using a 1 month sub and my GPU end date is now Oct 2025 so still seems to be 3:2 for new subscribers.
I can confirm the ratio is now 3:1, I purchased 3 x 1yr Xbox Live cards from cdkeys turkey and converted them to 1yr Gamepass Ultimate. Still works out about $7 a month cheaper than a month by month subscription direct through MS.
Conversion rate table (with 12 months of gold in bold):
| Code type | What you get via conversion | Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| 1 month of Gold | 20 days of Ultimate | 3:2 (66.67%) |
| 3 months of Gold | 50 days of Ultimate (1+ month) | 9:5 (55.56%) |
| 6 months of Gold | 81 days of Ultimate (2+ months) | ~9:4 (45%) |
| 12 months of Gold | 4 months of Ultimate | 3:1 (33.33%) |
| 24 months of Gold | 6 months of Ultimate | 4:1 (25%) |
| 1 month of Xbox Game Pass for Console | 22 days of Ultimate | 73.3% |
| 3 months of Xbox Game Pass for Console | 68 days of Ultimate (2+ months) | 75.56% |
| 6 months of Xbox Game Pass for Console | 135 days of Ultimate (4+ months) | 75% |
| 12 months of Xbox Game Pass for Console | 9 months of Ultimate | 75% |
| 24 months of Xbox Game Pass for Console | 18 months of Ultimate | 75% |
| 1 month of PC Game Pass Games | 20 days of Ultimate | 3:2 (66.67%) |
| 1 month of EA Play | 10 days of Ultimate | 33.33% |
| 6 months of EA Play | 40 days of Ultimate | 22.22% |
| 12 months of EA Play | 2 months of Ultimate | 16.4% |
It's no longer static ratios for XBox Live Gold and Game Pass to Game Pass Ultimate conversion. Micro$oft knows you get discounts on some of those so double dips no longer allowed.
Also, I tried last week for a friend and it wouldn't let me redeem more than 1 12 month code. Just fyi.
it wouldn't let me redeem more than 1 12 month code
The Xbox/MS wouldn't?
I did two 12 month codes without issue just last week.
No idea why, it said you can't redeem more than 12 months at this time… Thought they'd caught onto it maybe.
I already had GPU can I still add this?
Yes this still works even if u have a GPU sub, but it will convert the Gold Sub to an GPUltimate Sub at a 3:2 ratio ie… 30 days to 20 days. Still cheaper than buying it through MS for Ultimate. Rather than using VPN option just buy a global version from CDKEYS/Kinguin or the likes at around the similar cost.
Yes. You'll get 8 months GPU in exchange for your 12 months of Gold.
Seems like im only getting around 4 months.
Your existing Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription ends on 5/25/2024
After this code is redeemed, your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription will end on 9/23/2024
Same. I'm onto Xbox support to see what the go is.
@d1s34s3d: This is on hotdeals.uk
It also depends on what this code is, if its a 12 month code it will only give 4 months for subbed people.
If its 4x3 month codes it will give 50-52 days per code which is obviously better.
Let us kow what thery say. I was on earlier but wait time too long as I have to go out now.
@Scarecrow2012: Confirmed by Xbox, latest conversion rate is only 1:3. 12 months goes down to 4 months of ultimate. New conversion rate came into effect a month ago according to rep.
Something to do with the Xbox gold being discontinued on the 19th September.
Mine only changed to 4 months too. Still cheaper than buying direct, but barely.
Can someone give me a dummy version of how to convert to GPU.
If you have GPU already, it will instantly convert when you redeem the code. Just need to purchase the code, use VPN to correct region on your phone, tablet or pc. Go to the Microsoft redeem site. Login and redeem the code. Turn VPN off and all is done.
Any good sites/deals for turkish PSN?
Do you have your PSN set up originally through Turkey? If not, it's not region free. Need to purchase for your specific region. Best way for cheaper is to get discounted PSN wallet cards and purchase during the sales they do.
Yeah, I already have it setup through Turkey.
I haven't had to look for PSN plus from overseas before, but eneba he's generally been cheapest for most of my console related purchases. Also could try searching things up on allkeyshop. They will also let you know of discount codes that can be used on various sites. Sorry I couldn't be more exact for you.
This is by far the easiest turkish VPN GPU deal.
Make sure you are currently on GPU. if not, just upgrade it. It doesnt matter if you only have a day or a month left. just make sure you are currently on GPU.
Buy a turkish key. Dont buy it from CDKEYS, as @d1s34s3d found, its cheaper on INSTANT-GAMING. Link: https://www.instant-gaming.com/en/13034-buy-xbox-live-gold-1…
Fly your choppers to Instanbul.
Follow this link to redeem: https://redeem.microsoft.com/
login to your Microsoft Account
Enter your code. Continue.
Double check the conversion dates, make sure you are getting 8 months of GPU.
Profit.
Only order 1 card. I tried redeeming a second 12 month card, and it lets you, however, it will only convert to FOUR MONTHS, not EIGHT.
They require proof of identity even after you've given payment details?
who instant-gaming? I've no idea if anything has changed, ive had an account with them for a very long time. Just bought 2 x keys with no issue whatsoever, delivered instantly. If you're having issues stick to cdkeys i guess.
Yeah IG requested proof of identity when I entered my cc details.
@Impulsebuyaddict: Not only the identity, they asked me why I was buying multiples of the same product, I ended up cancelling the order
Just checking my understanding:
netsurfer's table above says "12 months of Gold converts into 4 months of Ultimate"
$41.91 for 12 months of Turkish XLG would then convert into 4 months of XGP Ultimate.
This is still a better deal than 3-months of XGP Ultimate $47.95 from EB Games:
https://www.ebgames.com.au/product/pc/268871-xbox-game-pass-…
I'm comparing the same product/service, right?
Yeah it's still better than EB Games.
The ratio used to be 1:1 though. 12 months XBLG used to be 12 months GPU. I managed to get 3 years of GPU initially when these workarounds were first discovered & the most it costed was under $130.
For comparison, if I had subscribed to GPU for 3 years without the method at today's pricing it would have been $574.20.
Only four months for me too, my GPU didn't expire until 4/2025, maybe because I still have plenty left it only gave me four months.
Fly your choppers to Instanbul
.. I have to go to Istanbul?
Just tried this.
Doesn't work. Still give me 4 months only.
1:3 conversion is weak. 😞
My guess is there is a limit to the 12-8 conversion at which point it changes to 12-4.
It's only 4 months conversion for me
I bought 1 code and only got a 4 month extension on my current Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
Do I need a Xbox to redeem?
Ever been to a Turkish prison?
I found Eneba to be easier and cheaper for a years sub. https://www.eneba.com/xbox-xbox-live-gold-3-month-xbox-live-…
I'm on reddit and people in America are still getting 3:2 on existing GPU when they add a 12mth gold.
I wonder if it's a region thing?
Do people think this kind of deal is going to stop, now that Xbox Live Gold is being replaced with Game Pass Core?
isn't this a scam website?
