The three-month codes are a slightly better deal than the 1-month codes, as they come out to $11.66 a month for savings of about 30¢ over the discounted 1-month codes. Target also does not collect sales tax on these codes.

Note that if you do not currently have GamePass Ultimate, the GamePass Core to GamePass Ultimate conversion trick (step-by-step instructions here, with some additional context here) will still beat this pricing even with 12-month Core codes purchased at full price, as the trick will get you 24 months of GamePass Ultimate for $179.97, or about $7.50 a month.

Also note that the usual trick of using a VPN to redeem cheaper international GamePass codes is significantly less lucrative now, per this article from Eurogamer. [eurogamer.net]

My 3 year sub is running out on two of my accounts. I was curious if I could let it run out, wait a month, and then jump back on the 12-36 month trick?

If not, then I might have to bulk load another 12 months via these codes.


Note: I just followed your link and the last person mentioned that you can start over after your sub expired. Nice.

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

Ok Since you asked here is my play by play because I just did this 7 days ago on one of my xbox accounts that had no gamepass days left.


IMPORTANT: First of all you CANNOT have any game pass Core/ultimate time left on your account to get year 3 i.e all fully expired.

Step 1 purchase the 3x 12 Month India Game Pass Codes from Eneba.
I'm not trying to plug any seller on Eneba, but simply go to Eneba.com and search "12 months india game pass" as of writing this it is now @27.50 (I bought Best-Pick just saying what I bought not a plug.)
During Purchase it warns you that it is not for US Region and only India Region, it will also give you this warning when you go to view the code. I accepted the risk.

Step 2. I was on my PC (NOT MY XBOX), I changed my VPN to an India Region. Very important to verify you are actually on an India VPN. I always go to whatismyip website and confirm it says india.
I've had many situations where the VPN will say I'm connected to a particular country and yet WhatsMyIP says different. So I would disconnect VPN and reconnect until confirmed I'm on an indian server.

Step 3. Now that I'm on India VPN connection. Simply goto redeem.microsoft.com on your browser. Login into your xbox account. You will likely get a security challenge as you're now logging in from another country. I had to confirm an email link that microsoft emailed me, if you login twice it will force you to add your us phone number where it will text you (happened to me on my second login attempt).

Step 4: Paste in the 25-character India Gamepass code. There is 3 year limit so if you have even 1 day left on your xbox live/gamepass it won't let you redeem the 3rd year as that will take you over 3 years. Hence the warning at the top.

Step 5: Once you have redeemed all 3 years of Gamepass core. You don't need to buy another month or anything. All you have to do is switch back to the US connection (NO VPN) go back on your PC/Xbox and try to access an Ultimate Game i.e ROBLOX and you will told that you need ULTIMATE and there will be a link to upgrade to ULTIMATE. Once you click to upgrade to ULTIMATE you will get the 2 for 3 conversion warning. Accept and you are now on ULTIMATE for 2 years.

I didn't want to post this on FP, well because we all know the SD-Effect (Some newbie will call XBOX support and try to ask them how to redeem India codes and well you know the rest...Confused)

So your method gives you two years of ultimate for $97.41.
The other method ($49x3 at Newegg + $2.50 @ eneba) is around $150 for two years.
I think the savings of $52 and change with your deal is pretty cool BUT needs a play by play rundown for how to accomplish it to get that $97 two year ultimate 🤜🤛 (because once you went vpn to India I was pretty much done and spending the extra $52 😆).

I get trying to push this as a slick deal but knocking international Gamepass codes while also telling us to buy eneba codes is baffling.

This is not a Slick deal. $105 for 1 year Gamepass Ultimate a joke.
Considering I just bought and stacked 3 x 12month india Gamepass core codes for (3× $32.47). Total $97.41.
Connected to a VPN in india and redeemed all 3 years codes.
Immediately getting 3 years Gamepass core.
Went back on xbox usa and converted it to 2 years of Gamepass Ultimate.

For anyone to pay $105 for 1 year of Gamepass Ultimate and call it a slick deal is hilarious. This site can't seriously be calling that a FP deal?

Just get international codes on Eneba, use a vpn and stack you account. Then convert.
Seems like maybe you didn't read the article? No one was knocking using international codes. MS nerfed them in most of the countries that people used to do these deals on, like Brazil and Turkey (India was not on the list). I am guessing India and any other similar countries could be added at any time.

I read the article, but it still doesn't change what I said initially that this is not a slick deal.
I can get 2 years for $83 vs for $210 this deal. I can't see how that FP?.

Sure, MS placed 13 month limits for certain countries, but even those are still way cheaper than this deal. Even if you extend 13 months for those limited countries and convert and get 9months. It is still cheaper than this.

Maybe Microsoft will add more countries to the limit list at some point, but for me that will be an issue in May 2026. I'll be glad to report back another country that wasn't on the list at that time.

Thank you for this. I did all of this, but can't get the Ultimate conversion to trigger. I guess I'll just keep using what I have until it decides I need to "upgrade" and do that when it yells at me. Thanks!

Can you still just use 1-month code at a time and turn on automatic billing to get another free month, then turn off auto billing.. wait for expiration, add a new one month code and repeat? Essentially getting 2 months for every 1 month code redeemed?

You can get monthly game pass ultimate codes on eBay for about $8

..

You are talking apples and oranges. What you described only works for expired or new accounts. Yet, the price you talk about will work for non-expired, current accounts.


You can't have it both ways.

I don't mind paying $18-$24 more a year not to have to deal with Eneba. Their checkout with all the unclicking of extra fees just makes the whole place icky.

I only use my xbox account on the PC / Rog Ally - can I use the stacking process or do I need to buy the PC Gamepass? As that seems to be a lot more expensive.

My 3 year sub is running out on two of my accounts. I was curious if I could let it run out, wait a month, and then jump back on the 12-36 month trick?

If not, then I might have to bulk load another 12 months via these codes.


Note: I just followed your link and the last person mentioned that you can start over after your sub expired. Nice.

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
I consoled linked with a friend, I used to get access to online without having to pay for it but one day I decided on the ultimate for the PC side of it. Now I need it but I'm worried that this won't see me as I don't have it because my friend does that I link with. Seems like a real gamble unfortunately, The $1 offer shows on the Xbox for the month but for instance I can't get that

My post from a week ago:

I was able to get 25 months (2 years plus one month) of Xbox game pass ultimate for $91 total.

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.
