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!

Quote from EdS6693 :
No, as long as you have never had Ultimate you would want to purchase as close to 2 years 11 months as possible (since you are on your current month) and when converted to Ultimate you'll have ~3 years of it. If you don't want to purchase the 3 month or 6 month options to get closer to 3 years then wait for your current sub to expire and purchase the 3 years for convenience. Or create a new account and do the 3 years right now.
Thank you! I will check how close I am to expiring and if it's not soon I'll get as close as I can.

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.
You do not HAVE to you can purchase enough to get closest to 3 years (M$ does not allow more) or creating a fresh account would be the easiest way. The time you have not had Live is irrelevant, only that your account has not had Ultimate.

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 decided to create a new account just to take advantage of the deal alone, nothing says you must play on that account or that you must do the upgrade to Ultimate on your 'main' account.

Quote from bagarwa :
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.
Can confirm this works without any issues if done correctly. VPN only tricks the M$ website into thinking you are from Brazil. Not sure why you'd be worried... cdkeys refund policy states 7 days for unredeemed codes, if it doesn't work then the code would be considered unredeemed. I haven't received a bogus code from them personally, not aware of others. Minimal risk IMO. If you're worried about M$ banning then use a new account. I'm not aware of anyone receiving a ban who has done this. It's one of the best deals I've taken advantage of here when it was originally posted. For anyone who has reservations, you'll be kicking yourself in the ass for not taking advantage.

Yes I had one left over from when the first starting making the Gold conversion into ultimate. I bought like 3 years worth last year but I already had some on my account so wasn't able to use them all seeing this deal I'm like why not see about adding it onto mine now and yep 4 months instead of 12. Not doing it, not sure what I'm going to do with it but I'm not getting ripped off 8 months
Normal price for 4 months of ultimate is $60, which is identical to the price for 12 months of Live. Not sure how this could be considered a rip off. The conversion rate is based on cost not time.

Quote from JodouKast :
A whole lot of nonsense to save a few extra $$$. . .
Don't like it? Don't do it then.
The normal price for ultimate for 3 years would be $540. Assuming these yearly codes are $37 (they fluctuate in price) that is $111 for 3 years. If $429 to you is a few extra dollars I am questioning why you bother looking up deals in the first place. Don't see what you are acomplishing by complaining about the deal because you don't know how or where to click buttons even when it's been laid out in front of you. This type of bitching/complaining reminds me of folks I've seen who are given free clothing or food and bitch that it isn't good enough for them.... I'd tell them ask for a refund then.

Respect for all that share the deals here, it's not a requirement for them so I'm always grateful.

Make sense. My digital copy of Marvel v Capcom on Xbox 360 is too invaluable to sacrifice for this deal. That game got delisted back in early 2010's! I'm very thankful that my 360 is still running strong!!

Doesn't hurt if new people figure out about it, it's a deal to them.

Fyi this worked for me during the last sale (it does go down to $25), but my perks have stopped working

edit; it's now at $37, you should consider the Costco rouge for $40-45/year

Does this convert to GPU so it would include PC as well?

This goes down closer to $25 often. Just keep an eye on it.
Not likely, 12/24 month Gold codes are being phased out. I guess you missed that memo: https://www.thesixthaxis.com/2020...wn-ending/

If anything, deals (or "deals") like this are getting to be the last hurrah for cheap 12 month Gold codes and then converting them to Ultimate.
Quote from porkchop2022 :
Slick - (of an action or thing) done or operating in an impressively smooth, efficient, and apparently effortless way.

There's nothing effortless, apparently or otherwise, with this "deal". It's just too complicated in my opinion. If you have to jump through so many hoops to, hopefully, use it goes against the spirit of a slick deal. It very likely violates Microsoft's TOS. Any "slick deal" that could potentially result in you losing your account isn't a deal, it's an exploit and should be approached as such with caution.

It's less about "don't like it, don't do it" and more about how this is a deal (it's certainly not slick — see above definition) for a very small subset of people who use this site. I took advantage of this deal the last time it went down to $25 and even I had trouble getting it to work and I'm a computer engineer.
You must be new here (or just incredibly lazy), this is hardly lifting a finger of effort compared to many Slickdeals of the past that required you to jump through tons of hoops. I guess you forgot about things such as mail in rebates. Rookie.
