Deal Details
For people who already have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and are looking to extend their subscription, this deal works out to about $4/month. But it requires using an India VPN.

Details:
- Buy Xbox Game Pass Core 6 Months India. It's currently $11.10 after fees from Eneba (scroll down on page for cheapest prices). You do not need to use VPN for this step.
- Then turn on your India VPN. One free and easy option is using Urban VPN.
- With your VPN on, get the code that was emailed to you, and enter it at redeem.microsoft.com.
- Microsoft will tell you that it's converting the 6 months of Core to 81 days of Ultimate. That's a pretty terrible conversion, but given the prices, this works out to 14 cents per day or ~$4 per month, which is a great deal for existing Ultimate members. If you don't currently have Ultimate, there are better deals with better conversion rates.
- Can buy multiple codes, which each redeem for 81 days of Ultimate. Microsoft will let you stack these until it reaches 3 years.

I have Gamepass Ultimate expiring from almost 3 years ago with the Brazil method. Does this trick still allow you to pay $15 to convert it to ultimate from core?

What does this come out to per month?
around $3.40-3.50 per month for the 2 years then around $4 per month for the remaining 1 year using the steps in OP after getting GPU if you decide to top off to 3 years.

last year I did the 1:1 conversion before it changed in July 2023 and I was able to get it a little under $3 per month. So $0.50 per month doesn't sound like a lot, but it adds up since you are doing 24-36 months.

Sorry, that sucks! Nord has free trial that you could just cancel.
Yeah I may have to try that. I used a different computer and got Urban VPN to work, but it won't connect to redeem.microsoft.com. The rest of MS works; I can get to the "buy Xbox Game Pass" page, etc., but I can't get to my XBL Profile or anything involving codes.

Apparently the VPN sets a weird user agent, or at least one MS doesn't like, which is weird.

But this is a bit of a nightmare. I'd rather pay full price than battle with a slow internet connection!

EDIT: If anyone else runs into this problem, just go to redeem.microsoft.com without the VPN, and then turn it on before you enter the code and click submit. Then it'll work.

Sheesh!

Repost. There's already a lengthy thread from the last days that is still current for the same deal with the India vpn trick.

They ripped me off. It only gave me 4 months instead of the 6 they are advertising!

The conversion makes no sense. It's not really 6 months, it's really whatever the hell they want to give you.

Go to "With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, can I still redeem codes for Xbox Live Gold..." It will show the conversion rate for each card to GPU.

I was able to redeem, but it didn't convert to GPU. Any idea why? It's stuck with Game Pass Core

repped.

edit: figured it out. I wasn't subscribe to GPU lol
I had the same issue. Prior to buying the eneba code I had a month of Game Pass Ultimate. Now it shows only Game Pass Core. How did you "subscribe to GPU"
Thanks!

I bought one too many and hit the, "you cant use this key yet because you hit the max extension time" message. Can't refund since I saw the key, was gonna wait 80 days and try and use the last one but do you think I'm utterly screwed here by waiting?
I do not - i had a similar issue the last time i reupped, bought one extra. It was for fewer days. Just put a calendar reminder to try and do it as soon as you are eligible again. When I did it (i think it wasn't for as many days, like i was 20 days too early), it still totally worked. if you have an issue, try reaching out to Eneba, hopefully

If you were already a game pass ultimate member, than it will convert from normal game pass to gpa to a 2/3 ratio, meaning 4 months. So let's say you bought 5 codes (6 months per code), that would equal out to 24 months of game pass ultimate.

Urban VPN isn't working. Windscribe is asking for a subscription for India. Do you have any other suggestions?

Now I'm getting this error after connecting to India with NORDVPN - Check the instructions that came with your code. You might need to redeem it on a different web page or device, or you may be ineligible to redeem this code.

Alright so I bought 6 of these for a total of 3 years core.

Now all I have to do is buy one month (stackable or non stackable?) of Game Pass Ultimate and it will convert my 3 years core into 2 years ultimate, is that correct?
