If you are extending an existing Ultimate subscription, do not buy 12 month cards! Instead buy the 3 month cards.
If you are stacking these to convert to Ultimate afterwards then you don't have to worry about this. The conversion rate is a static 3:2 (66%) no matter how much time you are converting.
However, if you already have ultimate and wish to use this to extend your subscription then DO NOT BUY 12 MONTH CARDS!
You need to be aware that the conversion rate for extending Ultimate with Core cards provides different conversion rates based on how many months the card is for, and 12 month cards convert at almost half the rate as 3 month cards.
According to Microsoft's FAQ's, [xbox.com] a 3 month core subscription card will convert into 50 days of Ultimate, so a rate of about 55%. Meanwhile, a 12 month core subscription card converts into only 120 days of Ultimate, a conversion rate of 33%.
BOTTOM LINE: With this deal you will spend $43.20 for 120 days, or about $0.36/day.
If you buy three 3 month core cards from this same website for $45.57, you will get 150 days of ultimate at a cost of $0.30/day.
(You could also shop around and get better deals than this, ex: Eneba currently has the 3 month cards for a couple bucks less.)

For those wondering I've had my xbox for less than a year and am relatively new to console gaming. GPU is absolutely the way to go for a casual like me.
Since I heard about the conversion rate I've been waiting for a deal to buy three years of core and convert to GPU. The newegg deal reminded me and my GPU had finally expired. Newegg was oos so I went with cdkeys.
First of all I bought and redeemed them one by one and had no problems. Finally I bought one month of GPU and it converted 3:2. So 36 months of core converted to 24 months of GPU. Plus one month for the GPU I used now I have 25 months of GPU which came out to $5.70 a month. Definitely a slickdeal.
Again you have to have your GPU sub lapse to receive the 3:2 conversion. Otherwise it converts at the 3:1 rate.

I used the VPN and conversion trick and ended up with 25 months of Ultimate for $81.
Use code GGDjdx7oc for an additional 8% off.
Edit: Oh... I think you can only redeem 3 years of core in your account, not 4. So I don't think we can actually convert and get 3 years of Ultimate anymore. I hope someone can correct me and tell me I'm wrong.

I was a little bit nervous going through the process but thanks for the post and the previous comments which helped me take the plunge to go this. This would cost $408 if purchased directly through Microsoft... Our subscription expired a few months ago and I was waiting for the kids summer holidays to sign up again.
Total for 2 years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate was $138
Now expires on June 27th 2026
Like the people said previously-
Purchase 3 years of Xbox Game Pass Core Membership codes from the link at CDKeys and redeem them here-
https://redeem.microsof
Note: Make sure you are logged into the Microsoft account you want your Xbox subscription linked to
Then redeem 1 month of Xbox game Ultimate in the same link above and you're done
I purchased this one month pass but probably could have purchased a cheaper one

Microsoft will do a conversion so after you do this you will no longer see the Game Pass Core membership in your account and you will see a conversion rate of 3:2, so now I have 2 years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate :-)

Per earlier comment, I went with Eneba to renew my existing Game Pass Ultimate. After Eneba fee and Paypal conversion, for every 6 months of conversion (~Rs. 1085/6 months during checkout) I got about 83 days, ~24c/day. Good deal OP and thanks for the reminder. Did 3X to get close to 3 yrs of subscription. Here is the Eneba link: https://www.eneba.com/xbox-xbox-g...-key-india
P.S. I used India VPN through Private Internet Access for all the transactions.
