Xbox Game Pass: 3 Month Ultimate Membership $25.89

Thanks for the tip. Tried to get a code from Enema, but that didn't really fly because they wanted a phone number. I've done business with CDKeys before, so this will do quite nicely!

 
ElectronicFirst.com also has the 3 month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate selling for $29. (Alternative to check out if the ones from places like cdkeys run out of codes to sell).

I got a few during the BF sale when walmart / amazon had them on sale for $25 last year.

Yikes.

Makes me feel bad for not adding more months when I got it in April 2021 for ~$50 for one year from Eneba. Pretty sure there were also similar discounts on CDKeys/etc. last year as well on a fairly regular basis. Guessing the jump in price is due to studio acquisitions...

I mean, not gonna let the good be the enemy of the perfect.

$104 is better than the $180 you'd pay going month to month.

$50 would obviously be better still, but I'll take the $76 savings and not lament the $54 i didn't save.
 
if you've got to buy gpu 3monthers, then this seems ok. otherwise, just buy 3 cheap, gold 12 month subs, let your gpu expire, add the gold 12 month subs, up to 3 years, then do the gpu conversion at a 1:1 ratio by purchasing one full priced month of GPU. this ends up being about $180 + 15= $195 for 3 years of GPU. this is a much better deal, still, than anything else and it doesn't require jumping through hoops or a VPN or buying $30 Turkish region gold subs.

I mean, the other side of the coin is how far off your GPU expiration is. The 3 years of gold, yeah, is the better deal. But if your expiration isn't imminent, turning down some savings now with the hopes of locking in greater savings in a year or two is a gamble.

I thought that conversion only works once for those who haven't started on GPU for the 1st time. You saying this would work for those who already have a GPU membership before? (when the current GPU membership expires) o_0

the first time you do the conversion, you are able to load up to 35 months of GOLD sub, and buy one month of GPU for a buck. you then have the 35 months converted plus the one. after that, you must allow your GPU to expire, load the 35 months of GOLD sub and buy a full priced ($15) month of GPU. they still convert at a 1:1 ratio (for now), so long as your GPU is expired. also, the weird 36 month cap throws a wrench in there by not allowing you to add three years and then buy a month, technically speaking as you can't load 37 months of either GOLD or GPU to any MS account.

 
Yeah I just did this and it worked. I posted about it in the XBL thread.

That being said I have a 3 month card I’d sell for $25 if anyone is interested. Got it as a gift and obvious don’t need it now since I loaded up for 3 years.
 
Ive been super out of the loop lately, so sorry for asking this. if i already have an xbox ultimate sub that expires 3 months from now... can i use a 12 month gold card to extend the ultimate pass like we used to? (3 months ultimate + 12 months gold = 15 months ultimate?)

I just cashed in an Xbox Live 3 month Gold code to extend my Game Pass Ultimate for 2 more months. Hope that helps.

I figured the old cards extended the ultimate bundle still. I was just weary since they are few and far between now-a-days ( the gold cards)

You’d be better off letting it lapse and redoing the 1:1 exchange gold:GPU

I used Microsoft Rewards points to purchase my Gold code. 12,000 points = 3 months of Gold.

wow, thank you for this, just started using my rewards for ultimate since my initial exchange is getting close to being done, this is way better than paying 35k for 3 months of ultimate.

You need to let it expire first. You might as well stock up on 3 12-month codes if possible because you will be paying $15 for one month of Ultimate when you convert each time after the first.

I’m in mobile so can’t look. Go to my post history. I detailed the steps about 2 months ago. It was still working as of 3/15.
