For those with existing/active XBOX Game Pass Ultimate accounts that want to know the conversion rates for various codes:

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/he...timate-faq

Click on section "With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, can I still redeem codes for Xbox Live Gold, other Xbox Game Pass plans, or EA Play?"

The cheapest conversion I calculated using the available codes on CDKEYS.com was 3 months of Game Pass Core for $15.59, which turns into 51-52 days. You'll want to make sure you choose the *STACKABLE* version of the code that can be used on existing/active accounts:

https://www.cdkeys.com/xbox-live/...bership-ww

For example, I just redeemed 5x codes and got 257 days added to my existing Game Pass Ultimate account. Some codes turned into 51 days, some turned into 52 days, and I think only one code turned into 50 days. In any event, using a 30 day month, that comes out to $9.10 per month of Game Pass Ultimate.

Using the conversion rates from the Microsoft link above, the best bargain would be using 3/6/12/24 month Game Pass Console codes (assuming that they are stackable codes that can be used on an existing/active account), which I could not find. Any of those codes convert at a 75% rate, or 4:3 ratio (face value/converted value).

So, if you can still find a 3 month Game Pass Console codes at $20.63 or cheaper, then that would be a better deal.

Hope this was helpful. Good luck to all.

For US accounts, the new 13-month stacking limit only applies to "Xbox Game Pass for Console", which is being phased out. Game Pass Ultimate can still be stacked for up to 36 months after September 18th, 2024.

More info under the "Changes to Xbox Game Pass for Console" section here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/he...-july-2024

You don't want to wait until November. They're hiking up the sub price in September and lowering the cap to 13 months. The goal is to cap 3 years before that. The highest tier tier is going up to 19.99/month.

It is typically 3:2 if your previous membership has expired. I accidentally activated on a Microsoft account that was setup while I was in another country and right now going through the error of region mismatch for conversion. I will post once I convert to ultimate!

Can I buy it now and activate in November? Is there a chance that the code will be expired or faked?

Thanks for this. Do they still give you the extra month for turning on auto renew?

You probably mean if your previous membership has NOT expired...

While of course all the conversions etc. can change, and depending on how much time is left in your existing sub, wouldn't the cheapest be to just buy this card and keep it until your current sub expires..?

It's already the new version/tier of game pass core, so it's unlikely it would NOT work later (as the "Gold" ones may but never actually have yet)

I'm new to Gamepass, I redeemed the 2 month free ultimate code thru walmart+ about a month ago so it will expire mid August. Is it better to buy multiple 3 month game pass core for $15.59 at cdkeys for 3:2 ultimate conversion ratio now? Or can I get a better conversion ratio somehow if I let my ultimate expire next month? Thanks for any insight on this.

They haven't offered me the bonus month for turning on auto renew for roughly the last 18-24 months. Not sure if that is just me or if it's a global policy but I doubt they do (or perhaps it's just available up to a few times max per account).

My current game pass ultimate expires in summer 2025. Could I stick this on top or better to wait till my current one expires?

With any of these key sites it's always best to activate and use immediately. Obviously this doesn't apply to official sites. I have lost a code before waiting on another key site. It may be fine, but I personally wouldn't risk it. They don't really expire, but their redemption value when converted may change with time
