Charging the 3 month Ultimate

If you already have Core and you upgrade to Ultimate, you will be charged for 1 month of Ultimate immediately whoch is added onto the Core you already have that is being converted. The monthly charge won't start until after all of that time expires. So for example, 3 months of Core converts to 2 months of Ultimate. If you add the 3 months of Core, then buy 1 month of Ultimate, you should end up with a total of 3 months of Ultimate. You won't pay again until those 3 months are up.

Hello, yes you can set it up with that card. It will only take the $1 for that payment. You must make sure you go into your account under subscription and uncheck the auto renewal. This will keep it from renewing after that subscription is up.

Thanks for the reply. It says on the xbox site 3 months of ultimate for £1. I’m still being charged £10.99 for the first month.

You have fo check account.Microsoft.com ir on you console and subscription

The 18 dollar charge sounds like you upgraded to ultimate if monthly

But that would've been after your upgraded time

When adding ultimate it upgrades your time at 3:2 ratio so8 months for every year of gold plus the 1 month of ultimate for 9 months of ultimate

Ok but wont i be charged each month of the active sub $15 extra ? So after the $1 month trial im charged $14.99 a month My kids may not even utilize it but $15 is $15 thats where id wanna cancel ( sorry im so confused mom here)

No. So as stated, the 12 months you just bought will be upgraded plus you'll have the extra time from the Ultimate purchase. I can't remember if the Ultimate offer is for 1 month or 3, but for example, if it's 1 month you'll end up with 13 montha of Ultimate.
You won't be charged again until after that 13th month.
