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.

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.

Does this work for the PC version of game pass?
I have been researching this, and trying to find the best bargain for pc Gamepass only. My ultimate sub runs out two weeks before the price hikes kick in, hoping to score three years worth of pc only. Here's a comment I found in another thread regarding this exact slickdeal above:

There is no bulk discount for PC Game Pass like there is for Core.

You can only convert thw lower tiers of game pass to Ultimate, since ultimate contains all the lower tiers. PC Game Pass is for PC, and game pass core is for Xbox. So one can't be converted to to the other. Since Ultimate includes PC Game Pass, Ii is still a lower cost per month to convert Core to ultimate, then paying monthly for PC Game Pass

Would this deal at Eneba enable the same for slightly less $ or is Cdkeys the better choice?

I purchased 3 12 mo of cores from Eneba for $110 (8%) off code found online. Logged into Microsoft redeem. Used Hala VPN for Argentina in browser and refreshed the page (your redemption will still say USA but think you are in Argentina (cheapest at time of redemption.) and redeemed 3x (do not accept the auto pay bonus of a month and make sure it is turned off.)
After that turn off VPN and upgrade to Ultimate. I had $1 new subscriber offer otherwise it is $20.
2 years for ~$130

This only works for expired Gamepass Ultimate or new accounts as 3 years is the max you can add to your account before 3:2 conversion

What does this convert to for ultimate?
This is converting to only 4 months with an active ultimate account, the links provided are dead or unhelpful and when xbox suggests a page for conversion rates they simply aren't mentioned...

EDIT: Must have been my vpn or something I got the link to load and found the section.

I'm very glad I only bought 1 code because ~$10 a month isn't bad but not something I'd stock up on.

Yes confirmed. 12 months core converts to 4 months ultimate.

So ideal scenario for everyone here is cap at 36 months by the end of August at the cheapest price/per month you can find.

Rather than have an ongoing subscription, I have found it best to get a month of ultimate and play the new content I'm interested in. Let that expire and repeat 3-6 months later.

Bought this earlier today and a 1 month ultimate for $11, ended up getting 10 months of ultimate (1 month for turning on auto-renew) for $53.

My current game pass ultimate expires in summer 2025. Could I stick this on top or better to wait till my current one expires?
You get a bad conversion rate for active subscribers. Better to check the other popular deal with VPN

Thanks for this; repped.

Mine expires in less than a week so I'm hoping to extend again for 3 years again.

Should I buy the 12mo core for or the 3mo core? Should I get them now or wait until my sub expires in 7 days? Thanks in advance

I bought the 12 month core but I get an error "something went wrong" when claiming it. My ultimate expires on 9/5/24

The 6 mth core from eneba is a better deal. I redeemed 11 x $9 to convert to 3 years of Xbox ultimate. Search for eneba to see the thread on here. Use India VPN as described in the thread for redemption only.
