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.)

Your comment cannot be blank.

Warning. This is just Xbox Live rebranded. You don't get the same selection of games as Game Pass Ultimate
I just bought three of these for $44.39 each yesterday 😭

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.
75%. I bought the month of GPU to upgrade and my new expiration date is now 2/22/25.

Thanks for posting this deal - my gamepass had expired and had been waiting on another deal. Just wanting to make sure I do this right.

So I just purchased 3 of these 1 year Game Pass Core subs. I should go redeem them to my account first.

Then I just need to buy a 1 month Game Pass Ultimate and redeem and it will do the conversion correct?

Cheapest I see for 1 month game pass ultimate is eneba at 6.34. It says "non stackable" US. I see a 1 month GPU on CDkeys for $11. Will the eneba code work? Thanks!

You need the stackable code unfortunately

Conversion deals are the best deals on Ultimate. Assuming you've let it expire.

This is still a better deal than the Target offer out there if you currently have Ultimate. $10.80 a month for this deal versus $11.66 for the Target one.

As mentioned in this thread a few times over, if this only redeemed for Gamepass Core for you, I assume you don't have an Ultimate subscription right now. If that's true, if I were you, I'd buy 2 more of these Gamepass Core to extend out 3 years, THEN buy one month of Ultimate and it will convert the 3 years of Core you just redeemed to be 2 years of Ultimate.

So you'd have 25 months at the rate of 3 cards here and 1 month of regular Ultimate.

For anyone as confused as I was, GPU = Game Pass Ultimate

I was sitting here thinking Microsoft came out with a scheme to run graphics workloads on people's xboxes for gaming pass credits...

Correct. You can purchase a 1 month code for ~$10 and it will convert this subscription to GPU at a 75% rate (in this case 9 months).

Note: Your current GPU subscription needs to run out before doing this.
If using this to extend a GPU subscription you will only get 4 months added. I just bought and added to my existing sub of GPU and it only added 4 months.

Quote from KilatoneAmps :
Non-stackable 1-month GPU codes can be used for the conversion after redeeming the Core ones. They will almost always be cheaper than the regular (stackable) 1 months

Can anyone confirm this works with the non-stackable code?

Solid deal. Question on the 3moth card, do you still get +1 for selecting autobilling?
