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.

For those comfortable using VPN (I personally use NORD), the 12-month Game Pass Core subscription is a bit less expensive at $35.79 (https://www.cdkeys.com/xbox-live/...bership-tr).

The steps to redeem are super simple:
  1. Buy the code.
  2. Log in to your XBox/Microsoft account.
  3. Launch VPN and connect to Turkey (TR).
  4. Browse to www.xbox.com. [com.] The site will be in Turkish but translate if you need to (not required).
  5. Pop down the XBox menu directly next to the "Game Pass" menu on the XBox site. The last option is the "Redeem Code" option.
  6. Paste the code you purchased.
  7. Disconnect VPN. Or leave it connected and learn Turkish (life skill)!
That's pretty much it. You can add a convert to GPU as described in multiple previous posts. Choose the way that works best for you!

I did it just 2 hours ago.
Edit: I extended the subscription just 12 months. You are correct that adding 3 years would likely not be possible. Good catch.

So you didn't sign up or Ultimate on a VPN (obviously you redeemed the Core on VPN) already? You just converted to Ultimate on the actual xbox (no vpn)?

Correct, after I bought the India core codes I then redeemed them on my VPN at Microsoft. redeem.com. disconnected from my VPN entirely and then on my console I went ahead and tried run something on game pass ultimate and was given the option to convert to 3 years into just two years

Don't buy this if you already have Ultimate and just want to extend your subscription!

The 3 month cards have a better conversion rate for extending Ultimate. I posted more details in the wiki.
i have 1 year until mines expire. (got the 3 year 50 dollar deal back then). Not sure if 90 dollars is a deal for 300 days of extending the game pass. Isnt it better just to let it expire then renew with these deals?

The thread I followed was from the target 30% off offer in slick deals. I was pretty apprehensive overall if it would work but they did explain that you have to have no time left and it has to be expired as 3 years is the maximum. I would just see if it would convert to game pass ultimate for you and then when that runs out do that trick

Yes, better deal to let it expire, stack core, and convert if you aren't too far off from expiring.

Some people do extend with these though. I did end up topping mine off last winter when the 3 month cards went on sale for $7. At that point I still had nearly 2 years of Ultimate left, so I just added a handful of cards to load it back up to 3 years.

Eneba has the Indian version for 10 bucks for 6 months for 10.60 and 12 months for 27. I used them in April to max my GPU til 2027 for the price on one year of Core

Did you buy the 6 months and stacked them for 3 years? Also, which VPN did you use?

Is there a limit to how many you can stack? So no issues doing x8 6 months instead of x4 12 months? Seems cheaper going that route.

Quote from JonK1303 :
Microsoft's conversion rate changes based on how many months the card is for...that's wack!
Because the prices on longer term cards / codes are cheaper.

1 month Core [amazon.com] - $10
3 months Core [amazon.com] - $25
12 months Core [amazon.com] - $60.

The conversion rate is based on price, not months.
