I do understand this is a good deal on Ultimate but how is it a better deal than the normal Core to Ultimate Conversion?

From what I understand, Core to Ultimate is a 2:1 Conversion Rate now. Aka, 3 Years of Core is 1.5 Years of Ultimate.

Ultimate Keys (on this deal) cost $27.46 for 3 months. ($27.46 x 4 + 7% Tax) x 3 = ~$117.84 per Year and $353.52 for 3 Years.

Core Keys cost $38-$42 on CDKeys but lets round up to $45 for this example. ($45 + 7% Tax) x 3 = ~$49 per Year and $147 for 3 Years. Add in $10 for a month of Ultimate to convert it and your total for 1.5 years of Ultimate is roughly $157.

Lets say you want to fill in the other 1.5 years with Ultimate (if this is possible). Buy 3 Years of Core & 6 Three Month Ultimate Codes and apply them in that order. ($117.84 x 1.5) + $147 = $323.76.

Unless you're paying retail on Core Codes, I see no scenario where stacking 12 of these is cheaper. What am I missing that makes these a Front Page deal around $28-30 per three months every time someone posts it?

This is a solid deal for Ultimate. Ultimate is usually $15+ a month, so this is over $5+ off a month. I took advantage of this, cheapest around right now for 3 month deal. CDkeys doesnt even have it this cheap

Cool, worked fine for me. The SD link originally took be to the German version of this site for some reason. Once I got that figured out, and the $.58 PayPal fee everything worked smoothly.

Solid deal, literally $9.15 a month for Ultimate so you get full xbox live plus access to 100+ games to play while subscribing. Anytime you can pay $10 or under a month for Ultimate this makes it worth it.

I don't mind adding an extra 3 months from time-to-time. Even with your math, with less hassle, it's only a $30'ish difference over 3 years to go the core upgrade route. I've went the 3 month route a few times from $17-$23.

The conversion isn't exclusive to new accounts. I've done it twice. If by non-new accounts you mean an account that has an active ultimate membership, the ratio is 3:1 when adding Core. That is definitely not worth it.

Lets say you have 6 months of Ultimate left. Using 12 Month Core Keys for $45, you'd have to add 7.5 years or 90 Months worth of Core to hit the 36 Month cap. That would look like ($45 x 7.5) + 7% = $361.12. Basically, it breaks down to $12/month compared to this deal being around $9.82/month and the normal Core conversion being around $8.70/month

TL;DR
3x Year Core + 1 Month Ultimate = $8.70/month
12x Three Month Ultimate Only = $9.82/month
6 Month Ultimate + 7.5 Year Core = $12.03/month
