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.

GriftCannon said earlier to buy a 1 month GPU from Enema and when you redeem that code., it should convert the CORE to 2 years of GPU.
And the 1 month

Very helpful post. If I had a GPUlt sub that expired in Feb and I just bought 3 years of this. Do I activate GPCore for the 3 years then convert to GPUlt or do I join for the $1 deal then add the GPCore codes?

Just followed this exactly with a key from Royal CD Keys. It worked perfectly. Thanks for the detailed walk-through!

Redeem the three years first, then convert to GPUlt. I had to buy a non-recurring code from a third party site and redeem that after redeeming the three core codes.

I bought the 3 years of Core from Newegg and redeemed them, then did the $1 for 2 weeks GPU on my new series x. then went into my M$ account and disabled recurring billing because that deal enables it and will bill $16.99/month if you forget.

I was hoping the cheaper Target deal would come back again but it hasn't so I jumped on this one. Got the code email in a few minutes and redeemed in a web browser on my phone so I could easily copy/paste.

Thanks OP.

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?
i see 1mo GPU for $5. it was only $2 when i bought a bunch of keys a couple of months back
