So I finally decided to jump in.
My Xbox Live Gold was expiring on April 26, 2020.
I bought two one-year Gold memberships from Costco, got delivered via email within 5 minutes. When applying each of them, I agreed to activate automatic renewal, and got an extra month twice, which extended my Gold membership until June 26, 2022.
After that, I activated my Game Pass free 15 day trial - saw a link on my account page.
Then, proceeded to upgrade my membership. Since I'm in Québec, I had to pay 16.99$ + tax. To save just a bit more (RFD effect), I purchased a 15$ Xbox gift card for 13.99$ from Costco (again), and got it delivered within 2 minutes via email. Back on my Microsoft account, when I had to choose my payment method, I chose gift card, and input the code I just got from Costco. The balance of 4.53$ was taken automatically from my Paypal account.
Finally, I didn't forget to deactivate automatic payments.
So now, I have Game Pass Ultimate until July 18, 2022. Full 36 months.

Troubleshooting note:
I hadn't used Gold for a couple of years and have changed my ISP and email address since then. I updated my account by adding by new address but that locks it for 30 days. I could add subscriptions but could not make charges, including the $1 for the upgrade to Game Pass Ultimate.
Online chat suggested I try upgrading the subscription using my Xbox rather than on my PC, and that worked. The charge went through and my subscription is now for Game Pass Ultimate.
Hopefully this helps someone in the same boat as I was.

Hi - could some one please confirm if the deal works for today? The way I understand it, first buy Costco XBL pass and then follow instructions on this thread, right? Thanks.

just tried and I don't see "PC Game Pass for $1 for the first month" neither "Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $1 for the first month"
I guess I have to go ahead and sign "Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $16.99/month" and upgrade everything else. I hope it works

I just did it and it worked. I am good until Dec 2021 - didn't want to go beyond that, since I'm a semi-retired gamer.

Quebec is $16.99 - your consumer protection laws don't allow for "cheap or free at first, then increasing in price later" subscriptions.jlalexandrino wrote: ↑ just tried and I don't see "PC Game Pass for $1 for the first month" neither "Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $1 for the first month"

Worked great, thanks so much.
Honestly, I didn't really understand it. Just turn off your brain and follow the summary under post #1.

I'm in the same boat. It actually hasn't been hooked up since I moved a year ago. I mean I know I'm gonna play gears 5 when it comes out in September for the local co-op, but that's about it. Everything else has been PS4 Pro/Switch.
But this does five me an excuse to play some third party offerings.

Sunset Overdrive and Ori are great. I'd also recommend Forza Horizon 4, Prey, Metro Exodus, Superhot, Gears 4, Undertale, Rise Of The Tomb Raider
That's a lot of great gaming for $1. Enjoy

Is Costco the only store selling at $60, no tax?... Seems like everywhere else is $70 + tax
