Microsoft has recently announced that the price of Xbox Live Gold is going up. The $60 1 year membership will now be $60 for a 6 month membership. If you are subscribed at the current rate they will honor a renew at your old price.
Retailers are now carrying the new $60 6 month cards. You can get ahead by stocking up on the old cards at their original price points being the price hike. This will make the gamepass trick more expensive too at the new price points, so now is the time.
I've provided a few good prices below. Take advantage while you can.
Costco: 2 years for $95.00

ANyone have any experience with ElectronicsFirst.com - they've got a "Worldwide" 12 month Xbox sub for $53.99 (at PayPal checkout price goes up to $55.96, not sure why)

I already placed an order from Newegg but I reached out to them for future reference and my issue was that my CC billing didn't match the membership address. The rep told me that system then auto-cancels all subsequent orders due to the 1 per customer limit, which she said will be reset in 2-4 weeks lol.
I'm a Costco noob so I had no idea that the billing needed to match the membership address. I was just being lazy and never updated my card since I still have access to my previous address.
Also, she said the name needs to match exactly and because my card is a secondary, it has a unique membership number and I was attempting to place the order from our main account, which is under a different family member's first name.
Lesson learned lol it cost me an extra $16 to order from Newegg but now I know that I need to create my own account to order from Costco online and update my billing address to reflect the membership address.
The rep encouraged me to make the necessary changes and replace the order though, so if the product was out of stock somehow, I'm sure she would have mentioned it.

The rep told me that you have to create a separate online costco account for each card you have as the membership number is different for secondary cards on your account.
So if your wife is secondary, she needs to register her costco card online with a different email address to place the order. If she is the primary, then you have to do it from your main account.
Hate to be repetitive on the thread but it cost me $16 more to order from Newegg instead so hopefully you can save the money and do it right the first time lol
Tempted to buy the 2 year at $95 to add to my existing gamepass sub.
Will it only add to my LIVE?
I bought xbox series x and enrolled for $1 for 3 months GPU offer from holiday season. That should run out in March.
H
What is my best option to enroll in 3 year GPU at lowest price? Possible? How?
Less than 3 years fine too. Possible? How?
Someone replied with what I could have done earlier but I need to know what should do now to get best out of current situation.
I have never had game pass or gold before enrolling for $1 for 3 months of GPU offer during holiday season. That's my current situation.
