People are saying on Reddit that Xbox is already rejecting the $19.99 GamePass Ultimate codes from cards, so YMMV on these working.

Paying the COD tax. I burned up as many Rewards points as I could yesterday before they pulled Ultimate codes as an option to redeem, I maxed out my sub, but in 3 years from now I'm not sure what kind of shape the entire Xbox brand is going to be in, might be the last hurrah.
Pffff yeah Playstation is so cool

Wait they pulled those out from the pool?
Yup, there was a warning on the dashboard yesterday that they were making the change today (so literally gave us a 1 day warning) - they also pulled the 3 month Ultimate codes about 3 weeks ago.

On the upside, the Xbox app gives us (slightly) more points now, certainly not enough to make up the difference, of course.

Thats confirmed NOT true. But you cant stack them on an existing sub. They are meant for new accounts or accounts that have become dormant/expired

Not suggesting they're any better, I'm not a PS+ subscriber and the PS5 has no exclusives I'm interested in.

Satya Na...Nad...Nada gonna get my money any more!

As a parent who bought the Series S for my son who just wanted to try a bunch of things out, I'm really disappointed.

This is like 10 years of Netflix price hikes overnight.

My bet is they'll back down, but we all have to be willing to voice our beef and let subscriptions lapse.

Edit: I decided to downgrade a notch, but the MS servers appear to be overwhelmed for some strange reason. Hmmm.

Actually, you can use these cards to extend an existing account, or you used to be able to. I don't see why people would pay $19.99 for their first month, when Microsoft was always giving away the first month for $1, and also packed in free month codes for GamePass Ultimate into the Xbox boxes of new consoles.

edit: thread is getting downvoted even though I'm just hoping it saves gamers $$ :\
Because any 2 sec google search shows cheaper options
If from a reputable seller, then please share and I'll add it to the thread Smilie

Microsoft (and other HyperClouds) are spending so much money on AI and its infrastructure they are either increasing pricing on things or eliminating head count to continue to fund it. So this is a pass the buck scenario or maybe even an AI tariff.

This isn't a very good price it's the same exact price you can buy it for on the Xbox or from Microsoft it cost $19.99 on the Microsoft Xbox store right from your console don't even have to leave the house.
Microsoft announced the price is going up to $29.99 - that's already the price online. [xbox.com]

I do post good deals. In the last month I've had 82 deals hit the Frontpage and that was with me taking almost two weeks off deal hunting Smilie I do appreciate the feedback though.

It used to be EA Play, which was a 3:1 conversion but I just checked xbox.com and now it's 6:1...

I dunno why some people are being so cranky with you, Eragorn. I appreciate what you're trying to do in this thread.
