Please keep in mind that pricing will vary depending on how much you currently have in your account/how much you're willing to extend your account too. However, the pricing for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is $1/month for new subscribers and you will be charge $14.99 every month after your subscription ends (ex; your account has 36 active months in 2019, you will then be charge $14.99 in 2022).

Microsoft is allowing those who upgrade to the new Ultimate Game Pass membership for $1 to convert all of their Xbox Live Gold or Game Pass time (up to 36 months) to the Ultimate membership at a 1:1 conversion rate. (see photo) This will not be the case AFTER you upgrade to Ultimate. You can see post upgrade conversion rates here: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass#faq [xbox.com]
Ultimate Game Pass combines PC Game Pass, Console Game Pass, and XBOX Live Gold. If you are not a PC gamer, this will still come out to be cheaper than not upgrading to Ultimate.
Disclaimer. Microsoft has not announced when they will stop doing this so I would take advantage of it ASAP.
Your exact numbers will vary. It depends on what you were paying and how many months you had prior to the upgrade and what you pay to extend your XBOX Live Gold. But here is what I ended up with. I received 34mos of Ultimate Game Pass for $4.42/mo. I had 2 months that converted, purchased 30 months for $135.77 from discount sites, received 1 month for enabling auto renew, and got the 1 that came with the upgrade for $1. I probably could have squeezed an additonal free month out of the upgrade but I think I forgot to disable auto renew after I submitted my Xbox Live Gold cards
Anyway, that is ~70% savings off the Ultimate membership, and ~48% off of what I was paying for Live Gold and Game Pass memberships separately using discount sites. For me, those together averaged $9.16/mo. My $4.42/mo cost also includes a couple months I lost from the Game Pass since only Live Gold or Game Pass is used for the conversion, not both.

- Start at your main Microsoft account page [microsoft.com].
- Go to the "Services and Subscriptions" tab at the top of the page — this will show which subscriptions you currently have on your account. If you're current subscriptions are on auto renew, turn auto renew off before you proceed.
- Before applying the "one month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $1" deal to your account, extend your Xbox Live Gold subscription by buying additional months. You can top up at sites like cdkeys.com for a discount or if you have a Costco membership (This is where I got my 24mo card).
- Now, once you've extended your Xbox Live Gold subscription to the desired length, it's finally time to add the "one month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $1" deal.
- Once that deal is applied to your account, your Xbox Live Gold subscription will be converted to Game Pass Ultimate — and Game Pass Ultimate will be available for the length of your Live Gold subscription.
- If you are prompted to enable auto renew, do it, you will be given another additional month for free each time you do this. Just be sure to turn it off after each case.

From the sounds of it no. That was the same before, too. I know a lot of dofuses who clicked their free month to ultimate and lost out 😆 lol
The dollar buy in was visible. The conversion was in the fine print.
You mean you upgraded *to* Gold for a dollar? Then yes, because it sounds like you still have two separate subs.
