Thanks for this, I added 1 year (albeit free) a week or so to go and it converted 3:1. I'll be sure to wait for the expiry in April.

Hi guys

Hope someone can help

I just got 500 euro xbox today.

Haven't opened it. I want to get ultimate pass.

What's the best place to go? And any tricks to stack it?

I'm no good for buying from different countries so want to keep it Irish

Hope someone can help

Thanks.

Buy 3 years worth of Xbox live gold (here's a key for €45: https://www.eneba.com/xbox-xbox-xbox-live-gold-12-month-xbox-live-key-global, or you can go direct to microsoft here: https://www.xbox.com/en-ie/live/gold?xr=shellnav).

Once you have stacked the 3 years worth of live gold, sign up for GPU. It should be €1 for 1 month as introductory offer. It will then auto-convert your Xbox Live Gold to GPU for the full length you paid for (i.e. 3 years).

wassie · 08-12-2022 3:20pm

And make sure auto renewal for billing in your microsoft account is switch off.

CastorTroy · 08-12-2022 7:56pm

I'm sure it works but just want to be sure. Does the Turkey offer work if just getting PC Gamepass? Don't have an XBox.

It's still cheaper to stack 3 years of Gold and convert to GPU than to sub to PC GamePass. You can get 3 years GPU for about €140 without going out of region and PC GamePass is €10 a month.

GPU will give you PC GamePass and EA Play on PC.

CastorTroy · 08-12-2022 11:58pm

Yeah, was just wondering if you needed an XBox to use the Turkey codes or could it be done without an XBox. But going by the steps, since it's done on a browser anyway it should work.

sniper_samurai · 09-12-2022 1:37am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119973278#Comment_119973278

Yeah, it can be done via the browser at

http://redeem.microsoft.com

Much easier to use a vpn on a browser and if you try to redeem without one you'll get a region mismatch error.

When I do this the first code works fine but when I enter the second I get this message:

"This purchase conflicts with one or more of your current subscriptions

Please go to your Microsoft account to learn more or to make changes to your current subscription"

DeSelby83 · 10-12-2022 8:43am

Does anyone know if the Xbox live codes expire? If I bought them now but didnt want to use them until my sub expires in a few months. Really hoping Microsoft don't close this loophole soon along with the game price rise

mossie · 10-12-2022 12:02pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119978256#Comment_119978256

It worked fine this morning but the €1 didn't work - cost €12.99 but got there in the end anyway.

mik_da_man · 10-12-2022 12:02pm

Did anyone else get charged 12.99 for the month of GPU?

My GPU ended yesterday, added 3 years of Gold fine, but when I went to the €1 GPU link it's directing me to pay 12.99 (I think)...

I have used the €1 offer before, maybe that's the reason?

mossie · 10-12-2022 12:03pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119978842#Comment_119978842

Yes, same for me. Maybe because I had the €1 offer before?

SuperBowserWorld · 10-12-2022 12:05pm

Yep, you can use it once

mik_da_man · 10-12-2022 1:24pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119978852#Comment_119978852

Ah ok, so do I need to purchase through that link or can a code be used?

SuperBowserWorld · 10-12-2022 1:34pm

All I remember is that i used up the 1 euro deal on my account. But I had no problems later signing up for the multi year deal once I let the 1 month expire.

Nigzcurran · 10-12-2022 4:59pm

I used the €1 offer 3 years ago and again this year no problem

mik_da_man · 10-12-2022 5:42pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119979910#Comment_119979910

I'll try again tomorrow and see if it's any different...

CastorTroy · 10-12-2022 7:50pm

Thanks. Have Ultimate now up until 9th December 2025. Total cost €90.71. The €1 offer worked for me.

marcbrophy · 11-12-2022 5:17pm

€102.70 all in for 3 years GPU.

It wouldn't let me get a trial for €1

But still, that's about the price of 1 gold edition Ubisoft game, for 3 years more Ultimate :D

Danick · 12-12-2022 6:31pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119949420#Comment_119949420

Thanks for the tip - mine is up on the 26th should I buy now or is it okay to wait until the 26th - would the offer still be there do you think? Thanks

sniper_samurai · 12-12-2022 6:37pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119988260#Comment_119988260

Wait, the offer will still be there.

TitianGerm · 12-12-2022 10:43pm

Myself and a few friends are looking at setting up a F&F GPU and I'm just wondering is it worth stacking three years Live and converting to GPU and then upgrading to F&F plan?

Looking at CD Keys I can get 36 months of Live for €141 which will convert to approximately 21 months of GPU F&F? Does this seem right?

Buying direct it's €22 per month so would be much more expensive.

mik_da_man · 12-12-2022 10:53pm

Couldn't get the €1 deal to work, so paid the 12.99, still a fantastic deal in fairness

Larcoon · 13-12-2022 2:20pm

I signed up to "Xbox Game Pass Ultimate – 3 Month Subscription (Xbox One/ Windows 10) Xbox Live Key TURKEY

" through Eneba

I registered through xbox with that code but i don't know how to sign up for longer

Was i supposed to get the xbox live for 1 yr from eneba (VPN}

Then sign on for the Game Pass Ultimate (No VPN)

Does the extend it to 3 yrs.

Sorry i don't understand.

Please help me

sniper_samurai · 13-12-2022 2:48pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119991180#Comment_119991180

You need to get 3x 1 year Xbox Gold subscription codes and then buy 1 month of GPU to get the full 3 years.

You will need to wait for your current GPU subscription to expire or those 3 1 year Gold subs will convert to 9 months of GPU.

holly_johnson · 14-12-2022 9:14am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119949420#Comment_119949420

Thanks SO much for these super clear instructions. Got 3 yrs Live on Eneba for €93.92 incl service charge. Couldn't get the 1 month for €1, so €12.99.

All in total of €106.91 for another 3 years of Ultimate. Not to be sneezed at!

Merry Christmas to me :)

Heuston14 · 17-12-2022 7:52pm

Hi,

Just want to double check that the Xbox Live Gold memebrships on CDKeys (currently €43.99)which say are for Xbox 360 will work on the Series S? Want to get the deal for my son and am clueless......Thanks in advance for the help :)

sniper_samurai · 17-12-2022 8:47pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120008148#Comment_120008148

It will. It might be marked as for the 360, but will work on all Xbox consoles.

Heuston14 · 17-12-2022 9:11pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120008305#Comment_120008305

Thanks so much. Very much appreciated :)

EoinMcLovin · 22-12-2022 3:35pm

just bought 3 years Gold in Turkey from Eneba. have VPN on and getting This code can't be redeemed. It was purchased in a different region from your account. error when trying to redeem. Any ideas?

EoinMcLovin · 22-12-2022 3:49pm

False alarm. Got it working using Urban VPN browser extension was using Nord VPN when got the issue. couldn't get the 1 euro deal for Game pass Upgrade so just paid the 12.99

Total cost was 105.23

DeSelby83 · 22-12-2022 4:20pm

Does anyone know how long these gold codes last when you buy them from the likes of eneba and other sites?

robfowler78 · 23-12-2022 2:22am

Hey was able to subscribe to Xbox live using VPN and a code from Turkey but when I go t upgrade to ultimate getting a error saying I’m in aa different region. Anybody have any idea how to fix this.

thanks

-=al=- · 23-12-2022 11:47am

Try it on your phone. I had region issues the last and only 2 times I’ve done this. For me at least it’s never as easy as most folks seems to manage it here. Have region issues every time.

In my experience after adding live codes, trying the game pass upgrade on laptops, the Xbox console, pc, different browsers, vpn etc, and by chance just tried to log in to my Microsoft account on my phone to get the game pass upgrade for 12.99, and it went through in the phone. Presume the mobile page is slightly different and lighter than the desktop version or not as restrictive as on the xbox.

Check back in if it works. I’ll have the same issue when I try to renew in Jan and curious if it will still work that way

robfowler78 · 23-12-2022 12:11pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120028314#Comment_120028314

Actually tried it on a number of things phone, iPad, laptop and xbox one same issue each time. Rang Microsoft today they got me to change the location on my xbox one and on my account on pc one was Ireland one was uk🤷 both changed to Uk and it worked. I’m not sure if they did anything in the background but all worked out and they were super helpful.

-=al=- · 23-12-2022 1:09pm

I must check if my regions match. I know my region is Ireland on my Microsoft online Xbox account, but the Xbox itself may be the UK region. I’ll have to double check later. I presumed they would automatically be matched up

robfowler78 · 23-12-2022 1:35pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120028557#Comment_120028557

Yeah so did I I noticed now the email receipt for the update to gamepass is in sterling must check the rest of the store later. Don’t think I used to buy in sterling but I only use the Xbox for gamepass don’t really buy games from its store. But it works now so I’m not complaining 😀

ozmo · 23-12-2022 10:18pm

Just to confirm its still working - but cheapest I could find was Brazil

1 year = 37.09 = 111.27 https://www.cdkeys.com/12-month-xbox-live-gold-membership-xbox-one-360-brazil

but I had awful hassle with Brazil last time - had to use the brazil xbox site, google translate and swopping urls etc. - worked in the end but this time went with EU... less stress.

1 year @ €43.99 (131.97 total for 3 years and no VPN etc. needed)

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120030126#Comment_120030126

Good shout. That’s quite reasonable without any of the jiggery pokery! Might do that in Jan since I seem to have region issues every time anyway and also went through the Brazilian page translators and vpn stuff last time

wassie · 24-12-2022 12:22am

Also worth trying to clear out cookies and settings from browsers if having region issues. Close down and restart a browser after clearing these out.

reubenreuben · 25-12-2022 9:59am

Good morning and merry christmas.

I have added 2 x 6 month gold live codes from G2A. They have worked fine. I also purchased 1 month ultimate. But when adding that code it states it is already redeemed? All codes are for europe

Is the code incorrect or am I doing something wrong?

feargantae · 26-12-2022 5:00pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120032872#Comment_120032872

That's a problem with the code you were given. Contact G2A and get them to reissue another.

Danick · 27-12-2022 9:35am

Bought the Turkish Codes a few weeks ago from tip on here - redeemed today and all good - 3 years Gamepass - thanks so much to you guys!

DanGerMus · 29-12-2022 2:17am

Has anyone tried this with Ultimate friends and family? I've already done for normal ultimate will it convert to f and f without extra cost? Maybe just the one month?

wassie · 29-12-2022 3:49am

I got 3 years GPU last month - my expiry date is 30/11/2025.

Just tried to upgrade my subscription to F&F out of interest and got the following notification (I cancelled at this stage).

Upgrading your membership

Joining Xbox Game Pass Friends & Family will upgrade your remaining Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass or EA Play membership(s) into Xbox Game Pass Friends & Family at the current conversion ratio, up to 36 months (any time over 36 months will be lost). Note that all conversions are final, and the conversion ratio is subject to change.

Your new Xbox Game Pass Friends & Family renewal date will be: 03/11/2024

I've assumed this is UK/Irish date format based on my regional settings, i.e. 03 Nov 2024, not 11 Mar 2024 (US date format)

So effectively losing about 1 year. Note that the conversion is based on days remaining, so calculated from todays date 29/12/22 until 30/11/25.

The T&Cs on the game pass subscription website state

Conversion – Primary Account Holder: Purchasing this product automatically upgrades the primary account holder’s Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass (Ultimate, PC or Console), and/or EA Play membership(s) to Xbox Game Pass Friends & Family at a conversion ratio each based on days remaining, up to a maximum of 36 months. For instance, 30 days of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is converted to 18 days of Xbox Game Pass Friends & Family.

Based on this example, a conversion ratio from GPU to F&F is 0.6
