Hi! Did you do the game pass ultimate conversion? Earlier I changed my Microsoft profile's country to South Africa and was able to redeem Xbox Live Gold 12 months subscription. Then I changed the country back to the US. Now, when I am trying to get game pass ultimate and do the conversion it is giving an error asking to change the Microsoft store region. Did you face a similar issue? How did you resolve it?

We currently have an active Ultimate subscription that will renew on 12/8. We got the original 3 year deal 3 years ago - it's just now ending. I need some guidance please...

1) If I buy the keys from CDKeys today, how long can I hold onto it before using? I assume I should wait until at least 12/9 if I want the full deal.

2) Can you actually stack 3 of these deals? If it's 12 months + 1 the first time, wouldn't adding 2 more push you to 37 months? Does it throw an error, or do you just lost the extra 1 month?

I am in this same predicament and mine expires on 12/9 lol HELP!!!!

OK, so I did this:

- Used Eneba instead of CDKeys and bought QTY 3 from Turkey at a grand total of $98.XX ($5 service fee). The reason why I went that route is that the Euro is less than the dollar and it comes out cheaper than a projected $108 ($36x3)
- Set my VPN to Turkey and redeemed the keys as normal
- Disconnected, closed the browser, reopened, and confirmed I was good until 2025.
- Bought the 1 month Game Pass from OP's link as I've already done the dollar conversion. As that was a US code I didn't need to hop back on my VPN.

After redeeming, confirming I was converted to Game Pass Ultimate until 2025, and closing tabs...I spent a total of $102.xx.

$102 vs $112 (If all through CD Keys) vs $150-160 (US based Xbox live cost x 3 years) vs a whopping $540 ($15 x 12m x 3 years) is well worth about 10 mins of VPN usage and using Eneba/CD Keys.

Of course, everyone's miles will vary and it's super fine if you just spend the extra $50 to avoid the VPN ordeal, which is honestly very easy if you're using something like Private Internet Access or the many other VPNs. So sorry for those who had to go through chat. My only fear is that in 2025 this option won't exist, but I got 3 more years of playing Game Pass at honestly dirt cheap rates to the point where I am numb to the costs.


If you have about 15-20 minutes I highly recommend going the route I did. Now, I can only imagine how this conversion is going to work when they introduce the Family plans...
Worked for me. While on VPN, created a new Xbox account with Turkey as geo location. Bought the one month Ultimate on Eneba as well. Loaded the 3-12 month gold member, did not log out, loaded the Ultimate one month at last, everything is converted to 3-year Ultimate.

You'd just replicate my steps that I posted, waiting until the 9th, and turning off any auto-renewal. Hopefully eneba is cheaper as others is reporting. I'd stay far away from the cdkeys for the 12m gold...

This worked for me just now.

I bought 3 years of Xbox Live Gold (Turkey) on Eneba for a grand total of $96.68 and had no trouble redeeming the codes to my Microsoft account and then converting them into 3 years of Game Pass Ultimate by signing up for the 1-month trial for $1 on my new Xbox that just arrived today.

I used Private Internet Access to VPN from Turkey while redeeming the codes. I didn't bother changing my Microsoft account from USA to Turkey, but Microsoft didn't seem to care.

It ended up being a good bit cheaper than the deal in the OP, so thanks and take my rep

I'm getting a new Xbox this week, and this is new to me.

Could you help me if I understood this right?
1. Buy Turkey gold code from eneba
2. Have a new or existing Microsoft account with US region
3. Use Turkey VPN and login to Microsoft redemption and redeem the code
4. Log off the vpn
5. Using US Xbox profile on the same Microsoft account, sign up for ultimate trial

I couldn't get this to work. I applied the first Turkey key from Eneba, but when I tried to apply the second one, the Microsoft site said "This purchase conflicts with one or more of your current subscriptions."

Apparently they don't actually stack, and now I have to see if I can get my money back from Eneba.

EDIT: Eneba support said the codes should stack, they didn't see any issues. I tried the codes again the next day, they all stacked successfully, did the $1 Game Pass Ultimate conversion, got my 3 years of Ultimate for about $105!

It seems the codes are not stackable. Didn't know 1-Year non-stackable/trial memberships exist.

Wow this actually worked for me. I had the VPN on my phone turned on while purchasing on the computer without VPN. I was worried because while I was redeeming it showed "Live -United States" but proceeded anyways as I had confirmed I was using a SA VPN. I redeemed two codes.

I then proceeded to activate the Game Pass Ultimate (banner was showing $1 but the charge was showing $14.99) so bought the key for $3.99. Redeemed that one on my computer and it automatically applied the two codes without any prompt.

There was no option to disable auto renew, but I found that under Subscription Settings and now I'm good until Dec 24.

I should've done 3 years, but it's not worth the risk at this point.

Awesome! Just purchased 3 12 month keys from eneba for $32.74 each and did the conversion for $1... $98.22 + $1.07 = $99.29. Amazing deal for this! I've been paying $16 per month for my son's account for over a year now. I just bought a Series X and a Legion 5 gaming laptop for myself and was planning on joining GPU myself. This couldn't have come at a better time. Thanks OP!

If you're trying from your phone, make sure wifi is turned off. Use network data

How did you switch the region. I'm having nothing but problems with turkey keys. Redeemed ok but don't convert. Even bought a turkey one month GPU and it acts like it's going to work ( conversion message and shows new date of expiration 3 years out.....
I used a burner card for a month then paused it (privacy dot com)

I recently got a series S console and am on my $1 trial period of Gamepass Ultimate. What do I need to do to get the deal? First let the GPU completely expire?

Well, that was a waste of time and money. I'm almost convinced that the key I received is from some region other than South Africa. I tried multiple VPNS and changed the region.

EDIT: I literally did nothing new but it worked in the morning. I left my region set to South Africa over night, connected to my South Africa VPN, opened an icognito window and redeemed the code without issues. I tried all of those things yesterday.

I feel like maybe the code or my account got temporarily flagged because because I first tried to redeem the code without changing the region. Or it can take time for the region change to fully go into affect.

If anyone can provide some guidance - would really appreciate it !! I'm not even sure if I signed up for auto renewal when I signed for the $1 trial of GPU.

Worked for me today. My GPU expired today. I was on the same deal from 3 years ago. Bought 3 years of Live from CD Keys. Logged into South Africa from my Private Internet Access. Opened up a private window in Firefox, confirmed I was in South Africa (what is my ip). Redeemed/stacked all 3 years. Closed the browser. Disconnected from VPN/South Africa. Logged back in to a private window and tried to join GPU on the $1 promo but it was trying to charge me $14.99. Bought the linked GPU deal from CD Keys for $4.19. Redeemed the code to upgrade my existing 3 year Live subscription to GPU for all 3 years. GPU expiring on Dec 1 2025.
