Isn't 36 months the limit?my subscription expires today, so tempted to do this again. Although I'm still on Xbox one x and I don't even use it. I only just add the free monthly games
Buy a series S for new games, for $300 it would still be cheaper than if you paid regular ultimate price for 3 years
Does anyone know id these codes will be good in a couple of years? I'm seriously tempted to buy the limit of 5 and just add the limit of 2 years every other year. Anyone tried that?
Might not help you but I bought a bunch of 3 month keys from cdkeys 2 years ago and I added a couple 3 month keys a month ago that were still good for 3 months each.
People said the downside is if the code ends up getting redeemed then you are out of luck but that didnt happen with me.
Codes were still good 2 years later for the same amount.
I bought codes from NewEgg before and tried to use them 3+ months later and they didn't work. I advise not buying them unless you can use them within a month.
I thought digital codes were almost instantaneous, or at least within 15 minutes. Not so sound like a chode but it's been over 30 mins. I actually got my Series S this evening and was hoping to at least get on Live first and see if this deal worked and then add another year and convert two years to GPU. The Newegg site says it could take up to 24-48 hours. That's a bit much.
I have not seen a 40 buck option in about 2 years.. I may have to jump on this as mine is going to expire in October.
Other than the "Brazil VPN trick" I haven't either.

Just keep in mind that if you've already converted to Game Pass Ultimate, then you buy and add Gold code to your subscription, the service will convert the Gold into Ultimate at a certain ratio.
For example, if you have Ultimate right now, and you add a 12 month Gold, the service will convert the 12 Months of Gold into 4 Months of Ultimate, and then add 4 months onto your Ultimate subscription.
So to calculate the value of this if you have Ultimate: $50 / 4 months = $12.50/month
Yup, I'll post the conversion chart again, I'm not sure if the EA Play time has been corrected yet though.

Wouldn't you just let it expire first, then add gold and upgrade gamepass again? Worked for me last year.
I'm kinda over the gamepass games for now though, have to clear backlog and hopefully decent games will show up by then
That's still how it works, but yes Game Pass gives you an instant 1-200 game immediate backlog. I've enjoyed the hell out of it, but I'm also a big time Microsoft Rewards user so Game Pass ties in nicely with that.

36 months is indeed the limit, did you have just Gold or did you do the Ultimate conversion? If you (or anyone else) are planning on doing the Ultimate conversion again, make sure your subscription is totally expired before stacking Gold again or it'll give you 4 months for the 12 month Gold codes.
Greedy Bill Gates, guess no more under 40 a year for gold. Knew I should have stocked up on codes in the past. Had a few extra but not enough, guess I'll have to pay 50.
With Microsoft being overly focused on recurring subscription models, you'd think that one of their geniuses would rollout a $4.99/month Gold subscription. The $30ish and $40ish annual subscriptions have all but dried up; limiting the thrill of the hunt.

Hopefully, the transaction was done on a credit card and you leveraged their "unsatisfactory goods and services" card member clause enabling them to reverse the charge(s).

Of course it's still a deal. If you're smart you stock up on Gold cards when they go on sale.
Then when your GPU expires you add three years of Gold that you have from stockpiling when it's on sale (like now) and convert again.

Bought 3x 12 month codes and tried to upgrade to Ultimate for $14.99, it is giving me an error and saying it cannot be done.
