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.

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.

It should be able to be added to extend the subscription.

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.

I have a one month GPU that I have yet to redeem, if I redeem that, and then get this deal it would extend my GPU til Feb 2025?

You have to let any current subscription expire first. Then redeem this core first, then the one month GPU on top of that.
