Game Pass Link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/p/xbox-game-pass/cfq7ttc0k6l…

From 8/20/2018 – 8/31/2018, new members buying Xbox Live Gold 1 Month (and Game Pass) for $2 will get a second month automatically added to their account at no extra charge.

Don't Forget Cashrewards which gives back $2 for 1 month of Gold.

Reminder that Xbox Game Pass works on Windows PC's too and Forza Horizon 4 will be coming to game pass in early October. Both deals should also work for people who have had Gold/Game Pass before but don't currently have an active subscription.

    Can confirm (at least) the Game Pass works for non-active subs. Thanks OP.

    • garage sale on 21/08/2018 - 16:15

      cool, our game pass expired, would have been nice timed with school holidays but for this price rainy weekend and some cheap dominos will keep the kids busy.

    • camelfarmer on 22/08/2018 - 10:58

      Can confirm Xbox Live @ $2 for 2 months also works for an non-active account also. (My Xbox Live subscribtion renewal was canceled only last month) Thank You OP.

    Still on 360 and Windows 10, is it worth to try?

    • guidedlight on 21/08/2018 - 14:19

      It won’t work on the Xbox 360. But it will work for Windows 10.

      • superforever on 21/08/2018 - 14:24

        But the Gold will work for free games?

        • guidedlight on 21/08/2018 - 14:27

          Yes, the gold will work for the free games on the Xbox 360.

      • superforever on 21/08/2018 - 17:13

        Isn't game pass also for Xbox 360?

        • Agarwal on 21/08/2018 - 18:05

          Nope, but there are some 360 games on it that you can play on the One

        • superforever on 21/08/2018 - 18:37

          @joelab:

          OK, except Forza Horizon 4 coming, any good game on PC with game pass? Or otherwise will wait until 31Aug to buy.

  • pennypincher98 on 21/08/2018 - 14:09

    If I get the 2 month game pass, do I activate it or the trial first? Does it matter?

    • guidedlight on 21/08/2018 - 14:17

      You can do the trial first, but you’ll need to activate this deal before it expires.

    • Yuri Lowell on 21/08/2018 - 14:19

      The free trial will make the $2 game pass ineligible until the trial ends which would be too late.

    • NeggerOfDeals on 21/08/2018 - 14:51

      Unsure if it's still running, but my Game Pass 1 Month Trial came with a free second month if I subbed (just cancel before the third month).

      • pennypincher98 on 21/08/2018 - 15:34

        I'll definitely have a look at this, thanks!

    • garage sale on 21/08/2018 - 16:26

      link seems to be for gold, not game pass ?

      • superforever on 21/08/2018 - 16:39

        2 Months of Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass for $2 for New Members @ Microsoft

        Another link for game pass.

    Non active people always get the good deals

    • Yuri Lowell on 21/08/2018 - 14:25

      That's why I always let mine expire and wait a bit. They seem to be doing $1 Game Pass every other month nowadays.

      • superforever on 21/08/2018 - 14:34

        I will only go GOLD with the $1 deal for free games.

  • nzcoops on 21/08/2018 - 14:35

    Newbie question, but what does 'New Members' mean in this context? Someone who has never activated xbox gold on their email address by any means?

    • Getsuga on 21/08/2018 - 14:39
      +4

      Anyone that doesn't have an active subscription. If you've had gold/game pass in the past, but the subscription is no longer active, you can use this deal.

  • BookerDeWitt on 21/08/2018 - 14:36

    As a non-Gold member, it's just $2 for ONE month for me. I've cleared cookies / cache, used different browsers etc but it's still just $2 for one month of XBL which is twice the price it is normally for people who don't give a damn about playing multiplayer FPS game against foul mouthed 13 year old girls and sometimes boys.

    • Getsuga on 21/08/2018 - 14:41

      From the description: new members buying Xbox Live Gold 1 Month for $2 will get a second month automatically added to their account at no extra charge.

    • PattyDaPanda on 21/08/2018 - 14:46

      Gave me an extra month after i checked my subscriptions. Expires october 22!

    • BookerDeWitt on 21/08/2018 - 14:55

      You guys are right! It charges $2 for one month but sets the expiry date to October instead of September. The Microsoft online store is utterly jank. :/

        Has anyone had any success with this?

        • UFO on 21/08/2018 - 17:20

          There are two people directly above your post that had success, so my guess would be yes :).

          Name does not check out ;).

    Thanks got the game pass for $2 for 2 months

  • superforever on 21/08/2018 - 15:13

    Thanks bought, can I disable auto-renewal now?

    EDIT:
    Turned off auto-renew

    • Nucky on 21/08/2018 - 15:21

      Can you tell me how you did it?

      • superforever on 21/08/2018 - 15:24

        Go to view Microsoft account, Services & subscriptions, recurring billing

    FH4 for a month for $2 is a steal. Thanks

    • PTG Benny on 21/08/2018 - 15:20

      Correct me if I am wrong but the deal would have expired by the time FH4 is released?

      • superforever on 21/08/2018 - 15:22

        Reminder that Xbox Game Pass works on Windows PC's too and Forza Horizon 4 will be coming to game pass in early October. Both deals should also work for people who have had Gold/Game Pass before but don't currently have an active subscription.

        OP said this.

        • PTG Benny on 21/08/2018 - 15:25

          Awesome thank you :)

          @PTG Benny:

          It will expire on 22 Oct but the game will release early October so may be 1-2 weeks to play.

        • hanofee on 21/08/2018 - 17:19

          @superforever: this offer expired 31/8, so u can wait until last day for additional week of playing :)

        • superforever on 21/08/2018 - 17:23

          @hanofee:

          OK, wait until 31Aug to join game pass even I don't have XBox One.

  • Kenna on 21/08/2018 - 15:37

    Can someone please help me with the cashrewards.. how do I get the $2? My first time signing up for cashrewards

    • Yuri Lowell on 21/08/2018 - 15:42

      Sign up to Cashrewards, disable adblocker (until you've made the purchase), type Xbox in the search bar on CR, click through, purchase Gold as you normally would (don't change tabs or go back). Cashback should be tracked in a couple of days.

    PSA: purchasing these turns on recurring billing automatically! Need to go to microsoft account settings to turn it off.

  • superforever on 21/08/2018 - 16:40

    So the game pass is only for XBox not PC?

  • amazonaddict on 21/08/2018 - 16:55

    Any good games there?

    I have already played GOWs, Halo, Limbo, Guacamelee and Rise of the Tomb Raider.
    Borderland, Dead Rising 3, DOOM, MGS V, Bio-shocks and Sunset Overdrive gather dust in my rack.

    So, Sea of thieves may be? If those Bio Shock games are remastered ones then thats a possibility too!

  • kudoz on 21/08/2018 - 18:57

    Just an FYI for anyone doing this who also bought some of the recent discounted Amazon US 6 month Game Pass codes; if you redeem a code it will offer you an extra month if you enable recurring billing… then disable it before you redeem each consecutive code and it seems to offer you a free month with every code redeemed :)

  • mt2000 on 21/08/2018 - 19:23

    Thanks OP

  • garage sale on 21/08/2018 - 20:52

    so what is the link for games pass ?

    this link is for gold only

  • LV-426 on 22/08/2018 - 16:53

    Thanks so much! perfect inexpensive solution for the 360 i have hooked up [that admittedly gets used more by nephews than me] as with the jb deal on top will keep them plenty happy (and yes probably me too ;) for awhile to come!

  • ElectrkJonesy777 on 23/08/2018 - 17:38

    We ordered our 2 daughters X1S' for their birthdays which comes with a 3 month Game Pass trial. Does anyone know if those codes would still be redeemable after taking advantage of the $2/mth deal here?

  • rooon on 01/09/2018 - 09:44

    Still says 4 days remaining on this deal.

    • yummycoot on 03/09/2018 - 00:44

      just signed up today. still shows 2 days left.

      • cheapsk8 on 03/09/2018 - 02:19

        Did that include the extra month (2 months for $2)?

        • yummycoot on 03/09/2018 - 11:41

          yes it did, mine will expire on november

  • superforever on 02/10/2018 - 10:56

    Downloading Forza Horizon 4 standard on my PC now, $2 for a month to play. Not sure whether it will support my 360 wheels on PC.
