This really isn't that complicated, you want to stack your combined service (Gold/Xbox Game Pass) up to a TOTAL of 35-36 months BEFORE UPGRADING. There's plenty of information in this thread, READ IT before you upgrade if you're confused!
There's also a big FAQ here: https://support.xbox.co
Q: When does this promotion end?
A: Unknown, speculative end date is the 17th but not confirmed. Also not confirmed if the current 1:1 conversion ratio will be normal going forward or if it will change. Reddit is suggesting it's running until June 30th: https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/...30th_2019/
This isn't a glitch, from the FAQ:
"As an Insider benefit, when you join Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to give feedback, we will apply any prepaid time you have on Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass or both toward Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, up to a maximum of 36-months.
For example, if you have 3-months of Xbox Live Gold and 3-months of Xbox Game Pass already in your account and join Ultimate as an Insider, you will be charged $1 for your first month. For subsequent months, we will apply 6 months toward your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (up to a maximum of 36-months).
You can cancel your Ultimate membership at any time, and you will continue to have access to your Ultimate benefits until your prepaid time ends, at which point you will not be charged again. The upgrade of any prepaid time cannot be reverted back to Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass."

For those wanting to buy additional months of Xbox Live Gold or Game Pass, as an alternative to buying a 12 month card at a retailer, check your Microsoft Rewards.

You can buy both individual months and a 12 months of both Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass for Points. I bought 12 months of Xbox Live Gold for just under 30,000 points.
If you have the points, you can add a few additional months or a 12 month pass to combine with this deal. I used my rewards for an additional 12 months of live. Combining that with my existing months of Game Pass and Gold, I bought the $1 Ultimate Pass and now it will last until June 2022.
For those wanting to play Xbox Game Pass for PC, download the Xbox Game Pass for PC (beta) for Windows 10 app here: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-g...s/pc-games

Try to find some cheap XBOX Live subs to maximize the deal BEFORE YOU BUY IT. Ultimate combines the amount of months you have left on Live + Game Pass.

Translated to additional: 3 free months of Xbox live and 2 years 3 months free of gamespass for $1
Now that's slick!!!
Bought 2 years of Xbox Live from SCDkey.com for $44.47 after coupon code "sku3" and their PayPal fees. Cheapest I could find right now.
On Microsoft website: Each code redemption gave me 1 free month to turn on recurring billing.
My current subscription went to expire 5/2022 now.
Signed up for Ultimate and changed plan. Turned off recurring billing, still good for 5/2022 on Premium.
Hope this helps someone.
They gave you an extra month... why do you think it should be longer?

shouldve done this. Im so dumb, now i only have this for 1 month
Maybe ill make a new account, feel like this is too good to pass up
EDIT: also did you mean you paid 44 for each year? bc that is all i see
Recurring billing off, expires on 7/3/2021
I had xbox live until 02/2020. I added 6 months ($33 at cdkeys) and did the auto renewal for an extra free month, takes me to 09/2020.
I then did the xbox PC game pass (Click here for that [microsoft.com] for $1, I'm more of a PC player but I have an xbox one X also.
I then did the $1 deal in this thread and now it says my PC subscription was converted to ultimate and I have it through 11/2020.
So this maybe answers the question that the PC and regular game pass are one in the same? No idea..... I hope I didnt lose my "PC", just mainly want halo for PC when it comes out.
