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.

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.
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

Man i missed this deal. Smh
I started with an account with an expired subscription. (No current subscription to game pass ultimate)
I downloaded (on my phone) express vpn app and signed up for the one week free trial. I changed my location to India VPN.
I went to G2A website and purchased 3 x 12 month Xbox game pass core (India) codes, totaling $89
I logged into my Microsoft account on redeem.microsoft.com while on the India VPN and redeemed all codes for 3 years of game pass core. I now had a game pass core subscription with an expiration date of May 12 2027.
I then switched off VPN and refreshed my Microsoft account. It said my game pass ultimate subscription was expired and that I could get a 14 day trial for $1. I got the 14 day trial after which it said my current core subscription will be converted to ultimate with an expiration date of May 30 2026. Click ok. Boom I had game pass ultimate expiring May 30 2026. I then went and turned off recurring billing.
Don't forget to cancel the express vpn subscription also.
Thanks for all the tips. Hope this helps. If you don't have the 1 week trial for $1 offer, then just buy a month of game pass ultimate directly from Xbox store or buy a 1 month code from G2A or Eneba or wherever you like and redeem it, which shall convert your core to ultimate with a 3:2 ratio automatically.

Yes, worth the wait. The 3:2 conversion rate isn't going anywhere. The only thing you might see is that the India 12 month core might go up in price although I doubt it will
