you know, now that i'm actually doing the challenges and stuff.... i'm getting like $20-$30 a month in credit. Suddenly it doesn't seem like such a great idea to let my ultimate lapse and then wait for a sale...

I should have been doing this stuff all along

Now i just have to figure out what to do with these account credits before they expire on me.

I agree with you. I do the challenges and get my money's worth and then some.

Is it still possible to covert 3 years of love to ultimate if you've never done it before?
Yes. Even if you have done it before, just need to make sure gpu is expired first... Good luck with the love though Wink

Was your subscription that ended yesterday a Gold one? If you've had a Game Pass Ultimate subscription and it's expired can you buy the Gold and convert again?
I had previously done the deal where I had bought 2 years of Gold and then for $1 upgraded it to Game Pass Ultimate. That Game Pass Ultimate subscription ended. The day after it ended, I bought 3X of these NewEgg Gold Live yearly codes. I applied the 3 years of Gold to the Xbox account. Then, I paid $15 for one month of Game Pass Ultimate--and it upgraded all 3 years to Game Pass Ultimate. So, the answer is, yes, I had previously had Game Pass Ultimate, let it expire, bought the Gold codes, and was still able to upgrade Gold to Game Pass Ultimate (for $15).

This was the best deal I could find. I got 3X the 1-year Gold. Added to my account. Added 1 month of Game Pass Ultimate, and my 3 years of Gold was upgraded to Game Pass Ultimate. So, for $150 (NewEgg deal) + $15+tax (Game Pass), I was able to get 3 years of Game Pass Ultimate. I had done this 2 years ago with a $1 charge to upgrade to Game Pass. My subscription expired yesterday, so I was glad to do this deal today. If I couldn't get the $50 Gold deal from NewEgg, I was going to purchase from Costco for $55.
newbie here, sorry If this is very basic. But I have not used ultimate before, so there is a promo for new subscribers - 1$ for first month. After adding the gold pass from new egg, if I add ultimate pass subscription for 1 month (paying 1$) and then cancel it right after, will it work ?

Or should it be a 1 month ultimate pass from GameStop or Amazon that I need to add.

Do this: Add up to 3 years of Xbox Live Gold using codes from Newegg or anywhere else. Then, add the Game Pass Ultimate Subscription for $1. DO NOT cancel the subscription right away. Leave it on there. You'll only be charged the $1 for the entire length of your subscription. So, if you add 3 years of Xbox Live Gold today, add the $1 Game Pass Ultimate Subscription, then it will say that it will renew at the regular monthly rate on August 5, 2024. If you want, just set up a reminder in your calendar for early August 2024 to turn off the auto-renew on the GamePass subscription.

So, since these now only convert to 4months per year to ultimate, what are the best deals that have come up so far for ultimate..?

If you grab this deal and get a few codes, how long can you hold onto them before redeeming. I don't think my ultimate expires till Dec or something.

I'm still looking for this answer. My ultimate expires in a year and a half. I did the 3 years last time.

Just for future knowledge, codes don't expire, however you do run the risk that it was a used code or that someone guesses it/steals it before you use it if you wait too long. I personally find that risk to be low.
