    Did this this morning and worked. Didn't bother with VPNs etc. Just 2 x 12 month and 1x 6 month via cdkeys followed by a month of ultimate.... End result game pass ultimate for about €120 till September 2024.

    My Series X arrived yesterday so I bought 3 x 12 month Turkish subs and converted for €1. Expiry is now 6/12/2024. Relatively easy to do too

    Nice! Did you just set your VPN to Turkey to input the codes? Did you need to change the account regions on MS/XBox?

    I tried this yesterday via Turkey. Pretty straight forward in the end.

    I let me subscription lapse, had recurring billing off. Redeemed 12 Months (EU gold) I got from CD Keys. *** Got sorted this morning **

    My sub expired so I want to stock up for 3 years of gold and do the conversion.


    CDKeys EU codes work here? I have had some mixed experiance with CDKeys and Xbox codes in the past. I think maybe DLC and games are country specific but GOLD is for all of Europe?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,010 ✭✭✭✭GBX


    See my post above, I bought 12 months EU from CD Keys and it worked.



    As per Sniper Samurai:

    Make sure auto renew is off and wait for your subscription to expire, then redeem and re subscribe to GPU to get the full year.

    I was able to do this for my son, really easy helpful steps, he's delighted. Thanks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,834 ✭✭✭Mark Hamill


    Possibly stupid question, but do Xbox live Gold console membership codes (e.g. this one: https://www.cdkeys.com/xbox-live/memberships/12-month-xbox-live-gold-membership-xbox-one-360-eu-cd-key) work with Games Pass for PC?

    I don't have an Xbox, but do have Games Pass for PC and would like to do this deal to get 3 years of Ultimate for cheap, but I want to make sure first if I can use Xbox Live Gold memberships on PC only accounts (seeing as PC and Console Game Pass are listed separately on the Xbox website).



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,026 ✭✭✭sniper_samurai


    Afaik as long as you have a Microsoft account you should be able to stack Gold and convert to GPU.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 181 ✭✭TrivialArguer


    can you tell me where you got Turkish subs and how much were they? Thanks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,300 ✭✭✭✭dulpit




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭Grumpypants


    Stacked up 3 years of gold and converted it for €1. My Gamepass sub lapsed a day or two ago. Set now until 2025.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 197 ✭✭Brozy


    Okay so, I changed my Xbox and Microsoft regions both to Turkey. I bought 3 years work of Turkish gold and activated them through VPN.

    Now I can't upgrade to ultimate because my payment method doesn't match my store region.

    I changed back to my original region and tried to upgrade but it said my subscription region doesn't match my store region.

    Did anybody encounter this?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 197 ✭✭Brozy


    Ahhh got it. I had bought 1 month of ultimate but the code wasn't working when I tried to redeem them the same way I did for the live codes.

    It actually says Xbox one and windows so I presumed I bought the wrong thing.

    I tried a different link and it worked. Got the free month as well. Jesus that was a stressful hour XD

    Thanks for the heads up guys



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,209 ✭✭✭Mervyn Skidmore


    Is this deal still working? Considering it for my Xbox one s.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,850 ✭✭✭skerry


    Can confirm still working. I just stacked up until September 2024 today

    Glad this is still working. Just got 25 months GPU through to end of Feb 2024 for €78. Just over €3/month. Used 2 x 12 month Brazil XBL codes @ €32 each from CDKeys. Should have probably got the extra 6 months on top. Too late now!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,927 ✭✭✭Alkers


    My subs via the original deal are due to expire on 26th March, looking to renew then at €38.99 for three months.

    What's the cheapest way to extend my membership? Do I have to let my current membership lapse first?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,026 ✭✭✭sniper_samurai


    Let it expire, load back up with 3 years of Gold and buy a month of GPU. That will be you good for another 3 years.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,834 ✭✭✭Mark Hamill


    Finally got around to doing this myself (my game pass only ran out yesterday).


    I bought 3x 12 months of Turkish Gold from Eneba for €94. Logged into my Mincrosoft using Tor Browser (which I had forced to use Turkish nodes). When I tried to open the "reedem a code" page it kept trying to open an xbox.com page and giving me an access denied error, so I opened it on my normal browser and copied the link for the redeeming page to Tor and it allowed me to add the codes then. I then opened xbox.com on my normal browser and bought 1 month of game pass ultimate for €1.

    A little stressful, until I figured out to copy the webpage over, but I'm happy with €95 for GPU on my PC (I don't even have an xbox) until 4th March 2025.

    Thanks, used Tor myself there now and it worked a treat.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,927 ✭✭✭Alkers


    HAve just done this now, was €135 for 36 months on CDkeys and I had to fork out €12.99 for the conversion month but sorted now until I'm nearly 40 years old!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,053 ✭✭✭ablelocks


    was all set to renew my gamepass ultimate but thinking now i may wait until the autumn - but is there a danger that this method will be gone by then?



  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 4,674 Mod ✭✭✭✭Hyzepher


    bought some Turkey codes but having issues redeeming them via VPN - can someone help?



  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 4,674 Mod ✭✭✭✭Hyzepher


    ok got the codes to work somehow.

    When I go to buy GPU to convert I get a 12.99 option (no €1 deal) - can I just use PC Pass as that's €1?

    Don't think the PC Gamepass one will work, it has to be GPU I think. Most likely you activated the €1 deal previously, so that's why you're only seeing the €12.99 option.
