For people who really get a lot of use from gamepass these are still solid deals. But, just as a reminder, XBL Gold won't be required soon to play FTP games so if this is just fueling a Fortnite/Apex/RL multiplayer box there's not much need for these.
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.
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.

It worked. Wow. Thank you.

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.
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.
