GOLD LIVE 1year subscriptions converting to 3month Ultimate

Be wary of inputting a product keycode for a 12 month Gold subscription if you still have time left on your Ultimate subscription. It will automatically convert to only 3 months of Ultimate and you will have wasted $59.99, you cannot return it to the
store and may have to contact support. It does not warn you prior to inputting the code on the console or the physical cards that are still being sold in stores. And support will not pro rate what remained of your current subscription or give back that time.
This is really unfair. If this is the case, the physical cards should be pulled from stores immediately!
