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

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!

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 $25 and even I had trouble getting it to work and I'm a computer engineer.
This "deal" or exploit should maybe be labeled. The "so many hoops" is using a VPN so M$ thinks you are from Brazil since the code is region locked. That's one hoop by my count and not at all complicated. You don't even need a computer, this is easily done with one's phone (everybody has one) The author even recommends Bear tunnel software to simplify using a VPN. I agree this may not be for everyone but they really couldn't have made this simpler to understand. A child could easily do this.

Worked perfectly. Clear and concise directions with images. Excellent work! Just did 2 years as I have 5 months left on my Xbox sub. Still happy.

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.
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.
I hear it's coming in December for Christmas.
I don't really care, I'm stacked until 2023, anyone who missed that deal can jump on another but sooner rather than later 12 and 24 month Gold codes are going the way of the dodo, like it or not.
Should I wait until 10/01/2020 to add the 3rd year and THEN convert for the $1 ultimate game pass? Or should I pull the trigger now and get my 2 years? What are the chances they get rid of the $1 conversion upgrade before then? It's been around for quite a while, hasn't it?
