    A little confused.
    Did it last night and worked a charm thanks again.
    Have 2 xbox s in the house and linked.

    I also have a gaming pc.. so can i now get games on my pc for free? And if so how?


  • Registered Users Posts: 252 ✭✭daheadonu

    I didn't realise I could stack the xbox golds. So I just upgraded to the one euro account. Which sees me good until 2020. Any ideas how I can add ultimate now with another gold pass until 2022?

    A year of gold will only convert to 4 months of ultimate after you've already upgraded I think.

    for the risk of €1, you could try and cancel the upgrade and try it again,

    Do you think this will still be available in the evening? Or is there a way to do this from a PC rather than the console itself?

    Your first charge on the upgraded plan (12.99/month) will kick-in after the 2 years of pre-existing Live expires. Just after going through the same thing 5 mins ago. Setup until Jan 2021 :D


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,585 ✭✭✭✭antodeco


    Thanks OP. Bought 2 x 12 month subs from https://www.instant-gaming.com/en/ for €42.50 each. Remember before adding each to turn off recurring billing and then turn it back on to receive an extra month each time you add a sub.

    I purchased from these guys this morning, and so far I have received 15 mails from random companies (one being Jameson!) for subscribing to their various email lists. Id recommend not using your main email account for signing up!

    Still working today

    Just did it now and worked like a charm. I’m covered until oct 2021 for Gold and game pass for €90. Bargain of the year without a doubt
    The hardest part was getting the 12-month live code I bought on some dodgy website to work. Had to call Microsoft cust support who had to cancel my current live balance, apply the code, then credit back the balance. All to save €4 vs cdkeys! I bought my second code from cdkeys and received in about an hour and worked flawlessly.
    Bought the 1-month free trial for the traditional gamepass on eBay for £1.66 but got 2 months for activating recurring payments
    Then bought game pass ultimate for €1 with the link posted by the OP.
    Great stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,066 ✭✭✭TimHorton


    Logged into Game Pass and could see 222 Games Ready to Download - Logged in an hour later and now only 57 Games Ready to Download
    .. How many should be available ?

    How long did it take after? I got mail with link, clicked and verified via sms but all I see now is “Your purchase is not yet available for download, please come back shortly.“

    Got an email with a link about 50 minutes after the order.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,303 ✭✭✭webpal


    Got it overnight thanks, also was charged €1 for ultimate. Am I right in saying that the next charge of €12.99 will be after my current sub runs out?

    Apologies for the false information, folks, don't know where it came from. Hope I didn't cause anyone any hassle.

    yes you're right. you can check online on the xbox.com website under the "subscriptions" menu, it'll specifically say when you'll be charged next iirc.
    i would cancel the auto-renewal feature. microsoft will send you email reminders anyway and chances are something else will come up in the next year or so to prolong one or the other subscritpion


  • Registered Users Posts: 434 ✭✭Nicetrustedcup


    Just got this today for some reason I got like 17 months with all the different promos I had on my account how bad for 43 euros on cd keys for a code


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,507 ✭✭✭Shred


    I just got this, my gold was up in January and I just extended for 12 extra months and then upgraded to Gamepass Ultimate; I’ll be charged €12.99pm from February 2021, nice!


  • Registered Users Posts: 34 TooSweet


    I just bought xbox 12 month gold for 40 euro off cdkeys.

    Once I upgrade this 12 month gold to ultimate -

    am I still able to cancel ultimate so it won't renew monthly once my 12 month membership is up?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭Nabber


    I bought 12 months of CD Keys also, added to my existing GOLD brought me to FEB 2021, paid the €1 for game pass and it upgraded the lot and added an additional month 22/03/2021 until the next payment.

    Ultimate tho I'm not sure.

    Cheers OP, all set up till June 2022


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 974 ✭✭✭Remouad


    Do you need an xbox to set this up or can you do it all through xbox.com?


  • Registered Users Posts: 124 ✭✭matt360

    Can be done online, did mine on my phone


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,933 ✭✭✭Tippex


    just done today thx OP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,922 ✭✭✭Soarer


    Sorry to bump this.

    The kid is looking for a game that’s in the game pass. The game is €28 on its own.
    I have gold until November 2021, but don’t have game pass.
    The link in the op is sending me to game pass ultimate for €1.

    If I get that, does that mean I have gold and game pass until the end of my gold sub ie. Nov 2021?

    Yeah thats it. You'll actually get til January 2022 if you leave auto renewal on but you'll need to remember to cancel that just before it renews.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,922 ✭✭✭Soarer


    Cheers for that.

    Had my date slightly wrong.
    Current Gold sub valid until 27/02/2021.
    Turned on auto renew.
    Ordered another 12 months Gold sub from cdkeys (~€39 using Revolut).
    Redeemed code.
    Got the free month.
    Ordered Game Pass Ultimate for €1.
    Got another free month (with auto renew I assume).
    Turned off auto-renew.
    Now have Game Pass Ultimate until 30/04/2022!

    Mighty.

    Hi all, going to buy an xbox but just triple checking, if i buy 36 months of xbox gold and then upgrade it for 1 euro then I'll get gold and game pass for 36 months? Seems like a crazy good deal.

    yes , 3 years of ultimate , great deal


  • Registered Users Posts: 67 ✭✭bonzothebuzz


    on the xbox site there's a €1 ultimate or a €2 for 2 months, if i go for the 2 month one does that upgrade everything as well as the €1 offer?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,204 ✭✭✭Roberto_gas

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,014 ✭✭✭✭GBX




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,188 ✭✭✭deadl0ck


    Ah - I've already upgraded until Feb 2020 so I don't think I can top up my gold and extend it, or can I ?

    Under my Gold account it says "Subscription converted to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate"
