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 dilbert2154 :
Keep in mind if you have done the Xbox ultimate deal for a month of service for $1 you can't convert your gold account again for $1. You would have to create a new account if you wanted to take advantage of this deal. But if you were paying for gold and paying for gamepass separately you are still eligible to upgrade your gold subscription to ultimate for $1. I had not taken advantage of the ultimate upgrade for $1 deal but had always paid for gold yearly. Last year I got gamepass gift card for a year of service. It eventually expired a few months ago and I bought more yearly cards to max out my gold subscription and then converted it to ultimate for $1 a few weeks ago.

Another thing to keep in mind, if you have any time left on your gold service you can only add up to 3 years exactly so do not do what I did and buy 3 3 year cards. I had 3 months left on my account and couldn't add my 3rd card I purchased due to it putting me over the 3 year mark but when I was applying my yearly subscription cards they offered me one additional month free each time I added a card if I selected automatic renewal when my subscription ended so I did end up with 3 additional months after I opted in to auto renewal when I added my 2 1 year cards and the conversion to ultimate
If you have done the Ultimate $1 deal, you can still convert to 3 years of Ultimate for $14.99. $14 more, but still a great deal.

I don't really care, was just correcting someone that was acting confident and condescending while actually only being ignorant
I don't care that you don't care, you didn't "correct" me, you also didn't provide proof, and even if there was a deal I obviously didn't get in on it because I don't need to. I stand by the facts, 12/24 month Gold is going away, period. $25 deals (which have also often been 1 time per account use only) are also going to go the way of the dodo once they are phased out, so anyone that needs to stack Gold better get on it, or whine about it later.

That's literally $0.92 per month difference for a chance of missing it altogether. And this deal is live NOW.
I agree...doing the math is literally.03 cents a day... Which is... Pennies

I've only gotten through the first page of comments, but just in case it hasn't been answered:
This will only work if you don't have any game pass ultimate time left.
If you only have gold, when you buy gold you get exactly what you purchase… if you have ultimate and you buy gold your gold gets converted to LESS ultimate. (If you buy 12 months gold you get 4 months ultimate instead as an example, 3-1 ratio for gold down to ultimate)

Also, this will work even if you had ultimate before and you used your "$1 ultimate trial, or any kind of ultimate, just as long as you don't have ultimate when you start stacking your gold. Wait till you are maxed on gold, then buy ultimate for 1 month as cheaply as you can.

Lastly, I was afraid of buying the Brazil code because the language for the Brazil region is different than other regions, but I've been assured that it works the same as (for example) a Middle East / Africa region. And Brazil codes are definitely the cheapest.

Help I'm confused! I had ultimate for a month back in December. My Xbox live expired 2 days ago. I had a 12month code that I purchased a few months ago and redeemed it yesterday. So now I have 12 months of gold. If I get this will I get 12 months of game pass also?
12 months of gold gets converted to 4 months of ultimate

Quote from aayo3 :
So i have my current gold membership set to expire on 9/30/2020. I bought 3 12 month gold packages and redeemed 2 of the 3. I tried to redeem the last one and it told me that I hit the limit on the maximum subscription length (3 years.)

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?
So it has definitely been around a while. However Xbox cloud is releasing on the 15th which seems to be a pretty big upgrade.

So there is definitely the possibility that this loophole goes always between now and when your gold runs out.

With all that being said, I am cheap, and like to press my luck, so I personally would wait… however if you wait and you miss out you will be more frustrated and disappointed than tony romo.

Also there are "under review" questions…
If you buy 3 years in one purchase you will be fine…

If you were like me and wanted to make sure you could pull off the vpn part and only bought one year, then cdkeys will flag your card for review on your second (or third) purchase

You can chat with support and get it approved.

Just get Game Pass for free with Microsoft Points. It aint that hard.
seems like a lot of points in the conversion - 35k points for 3 months of Ultimate.

I was able to convert for $1 more than once on my account. I used it once when the deal first popped up, then my gold ran out and the deal showed up on my dash again. I was disappointed I only got about 2 months out of the conversion initially, but when it came back about a week after the expiration I loaded up 3 years and converted again. Now I'm good until April 2023.

already used up the $1 deal but paying $14.99 to extend it out to 2023 is still helluva deal

If your sub is lapsed you can re-stack Gold and re-convert.

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.
Thanks for the heads up. Can't wait to play Mario with an Xbox controller.

I only read the first few pages but a deal like this was posted a month back and everyone was saying not to buy gamepass past the end of this year because microshaft was going to restructure their online gaming system (some were saying that it's going to be free but I doubt that). What's changed?

Definitely recommend grabbing this if you're on the fence. Game pass is worth every penny.
