    You probably need to highlight more that this is only Gold and it can only be converted to GamePass if you have an expired subscription plus you need to pay a month of GamePass to complete the conversation.

        The title/description still needs some work. This deal is only for INACTIVE subscriptions (i.e. New or Expired).
        You can't get 12 months of Game Pass Ultimate if you are already rocking an active subscription.

        If an existing subscription tries to redeem 12 months of Xbox Live Gold, they will be given 4 months of Game Pass Ultimate (see the conversion rates here)

            +1

            @Budju: No particular amount of time. If you have any gamepass Ultimate time left, it converts the Gold to Ultimate, but it's not 1:1 so you get a lot less time. As long as your subscription has finished, it will add the Gold and you can then convert the Gold to Ultimate at 1:1 conversion rate.

          • wangasm on 11/01/2023 - 19:52

            @Budju: Usually around a day (they have some weird timezone thing going on where it doesn't refresh the sub status immediately)

    • AustriaBargain on 11/01/2023 - 19:53

      And paying a month of gold can push you over the three year stacked limit, right?

  • orderly on 11/01/2023 - 17:06

    Is it safe to keep the codes for a few days? My subscriptions ends in 3 days.

    • Ant234 on 11/01/2023 - 22:35

      Mine ends this Sunday!!

  • man2000 on 11/01/2023 - 17:12

    I'm guessing this will stack to two or three years?

    • snoopydoop on 11/01/2023 - 17:29

      Should stack 3 years, but you need to do 2 years 11 months, so that you can take a month of game pass ultimate for a month as well to convert it all

      • wangasm on 11/01/2023 - 19:43
        +1

        Stacking to 36 months first before upgrading to ultimate works. Just have to make sure not to claim the bonus months from turning on the recurring billing in between codes otherwise it won't work. eg. if you have 25 months, it won't let you add another 12 months because it pushes you over 36.

  • GReeeeN on 11/01/2023 - 17:17

    Anyone else being forced SMART sub on their order?

    • DiscountDevil on 11/01/2023 - 17:46

      Yeah seems that way, maybe the code is SMART specific since it has SMART in the name. I'm trying to figure out how to avoid the sub, anyone used Gamivo before that can comment?

      • manbearpig on 12/01/2023 - 12:13

      It's not too bad, I personally prefer Eneba over Gamivo and particular over the gamivo subscription thing. It would still work with Gold cards from JB though if you're more comfortable doing it that way.

    I recently got burnt with this.

    Our account had lapsed and we followed the instructions perfectly, and then Microsoft converted it onto a one month subscription instead of the four months that it was supposed to be.

    Luckily I only trialled it with 3 months instead of the 36 months that others were going with

    • BlueberryOrangeJuice on 11/01/2023 - 18:28

      Maybe you missed a step? Heaps of other people found success doing it with the method outlined in a previous deal. The kicker is the $1 for a month of ultimate on an expired / inactive account.

      • Shaquille Oatmeal on 11/01/2023 - 18:33

        My account had expired, but it wasn’t showing up at $1 for Ultimate anymore. It was $10.95 for XBox PC, and a couple of bucks more for Ultimate

        • dazzza on 11/01/2023 - 21:14
          +3

          $1 is only for new accounts, it will be $15 or whatever the going rate is existing users with expired sub. So Shaq im not really sure what your issue was? U bought a 1 month or a 3 month? If u bought 3 months gold, it would convert to 3 months Ultimate or 4 months if u got the option for recurring billing…

          • Shaquille Oatmeal on 12/01/2023 - 08:44

            @dazzza: I bought 3 months of the Gold Pass and then I added a month of Xbox PC, and originally it showed me an expiry date of 4 months.. Two weeks later, it all reverted to a 1 month subscription

  • PhatTofu on 11/01/2023 - 18:33

    Worth comparing against this for those talking about 36 months right?

    • dextertheboygenius on 11/01/2023 - 19:20

      This might work out cheaper if you are able to use the code 3 times.

        Like the previous Gamivo deal with the same coupon, this code can only be used for quantity of 1 product. You could probably create multiple accounts though *shrug

    How's this for gaming on an M1 Mac via Xbox Cloud Gaming? Is a controller a must?

    • wangasm on 11/01/2023 - 19:49
      +3

      Should work fine on mac since you just play through the web browser, but cloud gaming only supports controller. There are some mods/extensions to use mouse/kb but I don't really know how well they work.

    • iWan on 12/01/2023 - 14:35

      Cloud gaming for me was very disappointing at this stage. Video compression made it look very poor.

    • dubo1981 on 12/01/2023 - 22:03

      I'm currently using Xbox Cloud Gaming on an M1 Mac, it works great. Video compression no problem for me as per the other user.

      It's the only decent way to play games on Macbook Air's that I've experienced. I also bought the Xbox Wireless Controller with Bluetooth and have paired to the mac perfectly.

      I'm still trying to figure out if this deal means I can let my monthly sub lapse, and then claim this offer.

          The beauty of cloud gaming is the Mac doesn't heat up at all.

  • roxzilla on 11/01/2023 - 19:06

    I have used turkish code and got xbox live gold 12 months. But when i try to upgrade to ultimate using 1 month subscription it says change your microsoft store region :(. You currently have a subscription from a different region.

    • UltraMarineBlues on 11/01/2023 - 19:16

      Every time I see comments like these I instantly get put off trying the deal. I assume you switched the VPN off after redeeming the 12 months as well?

      • roxzilla on 11/01/2023 - 19:30

        VPN was on tried both with VPN on and OFF.

      • roxzilla on 11/01/2023 - 19:29

        I changed it to Australia now. It was previously set to US. But still i get the same error. Do you reckon i should buy a one month turkey ultimate pass and try to upgrade like that?

    • mantra on 12/01/2023 - 04:21

      same happened to me a month ago

      used Turkish VPN on my router then changed to Turkish region in 4 or 5 different places, think there was two places on microsofts website, one on windows pc and one on xbox everything presented the same error

      reading comments below looks like that was my mistake region should be set to australia while claiming the codes

      spent an hour on the phone, watched them remove my 3 years gold and every few minutes a year of gold would be applied, then allowed me to upgrade to ultimate

    • LoserScott on 12/01/2023 - 10:44

      Did you use the codes asap or sit on them, never

      sit on digital codes unless they're:

      Discontinued by the promoter (much harder if a agent codes on it)
      International use cards

      • honest-immortal on 13/01/2023 - 09:05

        Yeah I used them immediately, so they were selling already used cards.

        But yes, also true, I'd never risk waiting to use these cards either.

      • wangasm on 12/01/2023 - 03:31

        It worked fine for me few months ago but seems to be hit and miss for people. Apparently it's a "random" offer now, makes the 3 month codes worse/riskier.

  • Fixmyi on 12/01/2023 - 02:42

    I think it's cheaper via Indian store. Xbox game pass 6 month is roughly 900 rupees x6 = 5400 rs for 36 months which is 100 aud.

    • sharky_k on 12/01/2023 - 03:21

      Can you get the bonus month for turning on recurring billing with each activation? Then you would only need to by 5 x 6 month keys

      If you're scared use a AU new account, and buy online so you can either:

      Get a refund from the respective site(but do not sit on them, just verify them, use codes within 12 hours)
      Get new account add code, if error it has nothing to do with your expired account but gives your old account access to everything.

    • dqtl74 on 12/01/2023 - 13:22

      I did it yesterday. Bought 3 codes and paid $15.95 for game pass upgrade (mine has lapsed). Have GPU until 10/01/2026.

      • LoserScott on 12/01/2023 - 14:55

        If you sign up with a dummy account let's say your main accounts name is joeblows, but your dummy account is sayonaraSucker.

        Add gold to the second dummy account, why well after a year the first account will revert back to the 1$ deal, that's if you wish to play streaming games.

        But overall on the dummy account your main account will have all access to games on pc and console, just not streaming, but to redeem the $1 deal on a old existing account greater then 10 or so years just sign up for dummy account.

        Microsoft will remove the $15.95 on accounts in limbo and apply $1 to it.

        • dqtl74 on 12/01/2023 - 15:42

          I considered doing this but it's a hassle for PC cause you can only have one Microsoft account signed into the Xbox app at a time and I play quite a few PC games with friends.

          Having to switch accounts back and forth is a pain and your saves don't transfer on PC. I would probably have done it if I just used Xbox though because you can set the console as the "Home" console and all accounts on it will have access to gold and game pass.

          I'll just take the hit this time.

    • jolegape on 12/01/2023 - 19:39
