However, if you already have an active Gamepass Ultimate account, the conversion is not 1:1. Don't recall what the conversion rate is at the moment.
If your Gamepass account is currently not active, you can convert however many months of a Gold account to gamepass by purchasing one month of gamepass ultimate. Mine expired in April so I loaded up three years worth of Gold again and then bought one month of ultimate. I got a good deal at the time, but this is the best deal I have seen without messing with VPNs.
It's crazy to me that 1:1 conversion is still going. I don't know why anyone would straight up sup to gamepass and pay $15 per month when you can get the full 3 years for under $100.

New to xbox,,,can you explain what to buy and how to convert, so I can get 3 years of GPU?
thank you!
If you have not already activated a Gamepass Ultimate account, buy this deal. Buy as many of these codes as you wish (max is three years so possibly as few as 9 of these subscription codes will max out account). See below:
1. Buy these 3 month GOLD codes and activate just one.
2. When ask to enable reoccurring billing, say YES. You will need a valid credit card on file. This will possibly gift you another month for free. This is not guaranteed.
3. Either way, disable reoccurring billing afterwards.
4. Activate another code, repeat steps 2 and 3. Keep doing this until you max out or reach your desired subscription length
5. Once all that is done to active GOLD, buy one month of Xbox Gamepass Ultimate (usually $15)
6. Activate that code and accept the offer to convert your GOLD subscription account to Gamepass Ultimate.
AGAIN, this process only works if you are not already using an active Gamepass account. If so, you will need to wait till it expires.

I bought 12 of these (had to do two orders since there was a max quantity of 10) with code GoldDeal, redeemed 11 of them (the last would not redeem since it was going to put me over the max), subscribed to Game Pass Ultimate, converted the gold which pushed the renewal date out to 4/7/26. Then I redeemed the last code for partial credit, pushing my renewal out to something like 5/28/26. Close enough.
During redeeming of the codes I don't believe I turned on the automatic renewal for the free month, but maybe I did by accident causing the last code not to redeem before I subscribed to GPU.
I'm not getting the option to enable recurring billing to add an extra month. It's not currently turned on. I'm doing it on PC (Firefox). Do I need to do it on console to get the extra month free?
EDIT: Just tried on my Series S and still no prompt to enable recurring billing. WTH
Upon further research it seems to be YMMV on getting the free month. I'm sure I had gotten it in the past--maybe that's why it doesn't let me have it now since I used it too much or something...
I redeemed all my codes the same way--on my PC in Firefox. Not sure why the extra month option came up every time but it did, regardless of whether I turned off recurrent billing after submitting the previous code. I was surprised when I checked my subscription status and noticed that each free month was being applied to my account.

If you already did it before, you won't get it again.

Unfortunately the 1 bonus month for recurring billing is YMMV... consider yourself quite lucky.

Damn, I didn't realize you could get a free month with every redemption. Oh, well.
Still a good deal for about $100 for three years.
