Turn off auto-renew, wait till it expires, then do the whole trick all over again.

I’m sure this has been asked before, but I can’t find an answer - when does this deal/trick expire? My game pass expires on December 19th. Will I be safe to wait until then or would it be smart to cancel my subscription now and follow the steps to get 3 yrs? Thanks!

Nobody knows for sure when it will expire, or even *if* it will expire. It hasn't been confirmed that Live Gold is going anywhere, yet, it's all just speculation. It's probably safe to bet that it'll be good till Nov 10 when the next console launches, but beyond that is anybody's guess. If you want to play it safe, cancelling now and losing 3 months to get 3 years is a pretty reasonable trade off for peace of mind, IMO.

Another silly question... I currently have ultimate and was dumb and did not extend my live to 36 months when I got the $1 deal. it expires on January 7 2021. Is there anything I can do to get it extended to 3 years like i should have done from the beginning? Have read some people saying once you use the $1 upgrade you cant extend it again.

As a new user? You mean as a guest? Or did you create and account and log in? Odds are if you purchased as a guest, they will refund you based on what people have said.

You can't use the $1 upgrade, but that just means you pay $16.99 to upgrade instead of $1.

Having said that - you have to wait till your current one expires before you can extend it with live codes and upgrade again. Otherwise the live codes will convert at 3:1, giving you 4 months for every year (full price for Ultimate). You could cancel your existing sub early and then go through the full 3 year process, but that's really your only option.

You turned off recurring billing for your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription
Your subscription will end on 9/23/2023, but you can subscribe again at any time.

I don't actually own a Xbox, but have pre-ordered the XsX. Can I currently do this trick without console?

Yeah, I don't have an Xbox at all and I did it all this afternoon. You just enter in all this stuff on their website (see original post).

Same, cost was 51.59 from online reseller! PM if you want it at cost. It works, I just didn't realize there was a 36 month limit... aiya

Has anyone figured out why Costco cancels some orders but others go through? I bought one code last week without an issue. Code received within 30 minutes. I tried buying a second card yesterday. It was canceled. I have since emailed Costco.

I have previously redeemed the $1 incentive. When proceeding the first months cost is at full price. Is there any way to get back to the $1? Make a new Microsoft account? Thanks

Where are you guys buying the 12 months and 6 month codes from? I don't have a costco membership so I can't see the price for it.
