For anyone wondering how this deal works out if you have an existing GPU account - you end up paying about $24 a month for 10.5 months (if you have to buy the Sam's Club membership which is $25 minimum).
If you have a Sam's Club membership already, this goes down to around $22 a month. This whole price hike just blows.

It looks like MS just reduced the conversion rates again. It used to be 3:2 (or 66.67%), then was 2:1 (or 50%) and is now just 40%. BOOOOOOOOO!

Yea, even that is worse now. It used to be if you added a GP Core code to your existing GPU sub you got 12 months Core converted to 114 days of GPU. Now it is only 90.

The sad part is that as bad as these conversion rates are, they are still better than paying month to month.

OP mentioned stack core to 42 months before converting but from what I'm reading you can only do 36 months. So with no current subscription the best deal seems to be to stack 36 months of core as cheaply as possible and then pay $30 for a 1 month of ultimate that will convert everything over ? If so im guessing it's not worth using the even worse conversion rate post convert to stack ult maxed out to 36 months?

do you have to have expired or no game pass ultimate first to do this or can you have existing game pass ultimate and just add in the codes here?

Not sure if there is a better option right now for Ultimate. If Game Pass Premium works for you instead of Ultimate that's also pretty good although limited to 13 months instead of 36. Converts at 3:2 so you could get a year for $7.41 a month.

FYI you CAN purchase more than 2 12 month codes with your membership. I bought two 12 month codes wednesday for a friend and bought a third code for him today. Comes out to $11.50 per month for 14 months. Also you cannot stack more than 12 months of core from cheap countries like Turkey, Mexico, Argentina, etc. You CAN stack up to 3yrs of ultimate using GPU codes from those countries but MS seems to be cracking down on VPN codes. I bought a game a couple weeks ago with no issue. Last week I bought a game and used a VPN and MS said I was not in the correct region. I then switched to a "streaming" VPN and was able to redeem. So YMMV

What a great time to find a new hobby.

Gaming sucks now anyways. Games take forever to come out and when they finally do they're still buggy. Not to mention forcing the message for "modern audiences"

I am sorry but what is a "Streaming" VPN? Who did you use?

~33% now. Best option for existing is still 3 months core at eneba at $15 for 32 days. I suspect that won't last much longer though.
