GamePass Deals (for People Who Have Already Done The Xbox Live Upgrade Trick)

A couple of years ago, I followed a cheeky ozbargain guide.
I bought a bunch of prepaid xbox live cards, and upgraded to GamePass Ultimate for $1.

GamePass is great, but $19 a month is a little steep. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for getting GamePass deals for those of us who have already used the xbox live credit trick.

    Been living under a rock, eh?

    I stacked 36 months worth of GPU for $61. Subbed until June 2026.

    • They changed their exchange ratio though?

      • Still by far the best possible deal you can get your hands on. Less than 100 bucks for 3 years..

        • I guess I'm unlucky, I paid a lot more than that last time. What's going to happen once they remove Gold and move to Gamepass Core?

    • Wow - thank you.

      Will I still be able to sign up for it, even though I'd previously done this trick?

    • Turkey CC deal seems a risk and a lot of ppl having issues…potential money loss going that route

    From what I understand, you can no longer stack 3 years of gold.
    A friend tried it. They would only allow 1 year of Gold.
    The “game is over”. Unfortunately.

    • yep it hurts….

  • Yep can confirm can’t stack more than 12 months now and when you convert xbox live gold to ultimate they do it at 3:2 ratio.

    Still $46 for 6.5 months aint too bad.

    That’s buying 12mths xbox live gold via eneba to 12/08/23, vpn activate turkey, upgrade AU account $1 to ultimate new date 24/04/24

    As someone who shouldn’t waste too much time gaming this is ok for a dabble every now and again

    • Are you sure? According to reddit xbox subs, you can still stack 3 month codes as of the 9/8?

      Mine is about to expire so I want to confirm before buying…

      • I was able to stack 36 months. Didn't manage to get turkey codes but just used CDKeys so got 2yrs GPU for $150

        • Ok Cool - going to call microsoft to get them to cancel my gamepass sub immediately tomorrow then and do that before the September 1st deadline

        • So basically add the 3 month cards from CDKeys upto 33 months, disabling auto renew each time and then add an Ultimate subscription?

  • Assuming the best way is to load up on discounted gamepass gift cards then use them to sub? Assuming this works like an Apple credit balance??
