Deal expires at the end of today, March 13, 2024. Limit 3 per customer. Requires use of the promo code SSDQAA48 in order to get the $11 discount per code.

This isn't as good as some of the past sales on gray-market sites like Eneba and CDKeys, but these codes are firsthand and therefore much safer to stockpile and hold onto. Note that Newegg does not charge sales tax on these codes.

Redeeming a GamePass Core code when you already have an active GamePass Ultimate subscription will convert the time on the card into GPU at a rate of 3:1, meaning that a one-year Core code will turn into an extra four months of Ultimate. Redeeming a GamePass Core code without an active GamePass Ultimate subscription, then converting to GamePass Ultimate will give you a better conversion rate of 3:2, meaning that you'll get eight months of Ultimate.

You can have up to 36 months of GamePass Core, or three one-year codes, banked at a time. The browser page to join GamePass Ultimate can be found here [xbox.com]. If this is your first time converting to GPU, the conversion cost is $1, although some returning customers have reported getting the $1 rate as well.

The standard monthly cost of Ultimate is $16.99 plus tax; buying three Core codes from this deal and then converting to Ultimate will give you two years for $147.97, which is a minimum discount of $259.79 or 63% from the monthly rate.
1. Make sure you don't have any game pass ultimate time on your account (either it is expired, or you have never had game pass ultimate before)
2. Buy the (3) 12-month Game Pass Core codes from Newegg
3. Redeem all three codes (you will now have Game Pass Core until 2027)
4. Buy a non-stackable 1-month Game Pass Ultimate code (I used Eneba and it was around $2.50)
5. Redeem the 1-month code and it will convert your 3 years Game Pass Core to 2 years (+ 1 month for the Ultimate code) Game Pass Ultimate
Just to be clear. Do not do this if you already have Ultimate. I misunderstood. I just ended up paying $49 for 4 months of Ultimate (after the conversion), so $12.25/mo, which was a terrible deal for me.

I've tried looking it up, but haven't found any good info - I have PC game pass, what would buying this get me in terms of continuing PC game pass? Is the conversion 1:1, or do I lose any time? I have no interest in Ultimate

Thank you!

Not to my knowledge, Eneba was just cheaper when I looked. And just make sure it is for your region (US)
Eneba offers 1 month non-stackable GPU code. it's a hassle to renew it every month. but yes, it's cheaper than $6ish for OP's method.

i just buy GPU on Eneba for way less money.
3 month GPU(US) on Eneba is $28.11.
For 2yrs, that's 8 x $28.11= $224.88
How is that cheaper than GriftCannon way with this deal?

Thanks
Just got a Xbox Series X and on my $1 2 week trial of GPU.
So I need to wait till that expires.
Then redeem the 3 codes I got from Newegg.
Then buy/activate a 1 month GPU from Enema or CDKeys?
Also, does it matter if I activate the GPU code on console or MS site?

Buy a single month non-stackable code for ~2.50 each month (current lowest price is less).
For 2yrs, that's 24 x $2.50 = $60.

Isnt this just the same as adding Ultimate for $15, and getting it put on the next 3 years?

Obviously $15 vs $3 upgrade. Just making sure it all works the same if I cant find that 1 month Ultimate in June when mine expires

Gotcha.
Is there a downside to doing that on my current games etc that I have from GPU?

So i just bought core for 57 from cd keys,
if i buy this core can it be added ( stacked ) without doing any kind of conversion?
ultimate seems real good - but i have horrible internet speeds so there is no point
in every going that route - but i do like to play the games i already own online.
( it took me 3 days just to download an update to call of duty disk i bought)
Sure, as long as you don't go over 36 months worth of Core

Do you have to use only a 1-month game pass ultimate code? Or can you use any number of months ultimate code to convert them over?

No, just the annoyance of waiting for your current subscription to expire and then buying and entering a new code each month.

Correct, just a bit of savings for those that can't get the $1 ultimate trial from Microsoft directly.

I redeemed my core code, but how do I convert it to GPU? I don't see any options, and was not given any when I redeemed the code...
