Deal Details
UPDATED 12/6 - Contrary to what it says, this deal is NOT dead!!!

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes PC and console games and includes Xbox Live Gold + you get EA Play for FREE starting in November! More Info 1 [microsoft.com] - More Info 2 [xbox.com]

For new users who don't have Game Pass Ultimate already only! Some comments say it may still work even if you had GP previously, but it will be a one-time $15 cost instead of $1, but who cares at this price! Check comments for more info if needed.

The idea here is to just buy Xbox Live Gold as cheap as you can, then convert it to a Game Pass Ultimate account.
1. Buy up to (can't be more) 3 years XBOX Live Gold from one of these options::
A) Eneba [eneba.com] (save $3 with code AKS)
B) Costco [costco.com], but can only do 2yrs this way.
FOR ANY OF THE ABOVE YOU CAN SKIP DOWN TO BOLD STEP 2!

C) CDKeys [cdkeys.com] <-This way requires a VPN per notes below.
NOTE: if it asks to verify your CC it seems to cancel it. If your order status changes from 'Pending' to 'On Hold ', your order is likely canceled. Using a different CC like a Visa debit will likely fix it
1. Download Tunnel Bear and install: https://www.tunnelbear.com/download (or use your own VPN) and select Brazil and turn on the VPN.
2. Open a Chrome Incognito window and go to the XBOX Brazil site (not the US site): https://www.xbox.com/pt-BR (menus will be in Portuguese and say Jogos>Resgatar código (image https://i.imgur.com/nTp8MnN.jpg)
3. Redeem the codes one by one. DO NOT ENABLE AUTO RENEWAL (press off)
4. Once redeemed, turn off VPN and close the Incognito window.

2. Go to the XBOX US site xbox.com [xbox.com] and login to your Microsoft account. Redeem the codes one by one but DO NOT ENABLE AUTO RENEWAL (press off)
3. Click on the 'Get your first month of Ultimate for $1 JOIN XBOX GAME PASS' link. Then choose the Ultimate for $1 link (grey one). and you will get a prompt about converting your Xbox Live Gold to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
4. Go to your 'My Microsoft account' to verify the pass expiration date, should be 2023 if you did all 3 years.

Enjoy!

I have 15 days left on xbox game pass pc. Will I be able to fully convert 3 years of live or would I have to wait 15 days first? Edit: Also I haven't had xbox live on this account for 5 years probably.

I was here when that deal was posted. But I didn't buy it then, because I was (kinda still am) worried about having to use VPN etc and the uncertainty whether it will work or not, or if MS will ban my account for doing it etc.

But next time it goes down to that level again, I'm willing to take the chance.

Double-check me, but I'd wait the 15 days because Xbox Live subscriptions will only stack up to 3 years, so I'd guess you'd get an error telling you this when trying to redeem the third code. You could do two years now though without issue for sure.

So if I'm a month to month user. Do I need to not have Xbox live gold at all when I do the 3 years?

The Brazil codes are coming up more often lately, so I want to re-post this comment as a warning for anyone who may be unaware:

Purchasing a region-locked code and using a VPN to bypass the region is generally considered to be against the TOS, and Microsoft would be within their rights to take some kind of retaliatory action. They don't appear to be enforcing any consequences for now, but that could change at any time.

If you have a significant digital library or account history it's not worth the risk, IMO. I have a large digital games library and long account history so the Brazil deals are not worth it for me. If I were buying for someone who has no digital games and wouldn't care too much if they needed to create a new account / gamertag, then I'd be much more likely to take advantage of these inexpensive VPN deals. Caveat emptor!

I did it myself back in July and it worked flawlessly. You shouldn't have any issues. There's postings on Reddit since 2017 of this working successfully.

Thanks I figured that would be the case. I might just create a new xbox live account to take advantage of this now since who knows what will happen in 15 days since they are changing the pricing this Thursday.

I've done this a few times for different things and haven't experienced any issues. Also, installing and using the vpn to apply the code takes minutes.

Good deal if you want to go through all the hoops. If you don't, I just bought 2 years of Gold from Costco for $95 and did the $1 conversion to Ultimate. Good enough deal for me but this is better if you have the time

If i remember correctly. If you have the ultimate pass this would get converted to 4 months. Is this correct?

CDKeys is always such a crap shoot for me. First order went through fine (paypal). Next one is "under review". And no credit card I try works. All says transaction failed. So now I have one year of gold that I can't use until I get two more :/


How long is the $1 convert supposed to be around?
