Quick game pass question

BigBearG · Sep 10, 2020

Hi, just a quick question revolving around game pass;

I have a 5 dollar gift voucher and for me Game pass is about 1 dollar. Will i be able to get it from my gift card? And also when i get the game pass is it true i get Xbox live gold? Since Xbox game pass is not compatible with the xbox 360, will the Xbox
live gold from the Xbox game pass work on the 360 system?

So basically:

1. Will i be able to redeem it from a gift card?

2. Will the Xbox live gold supplied from the game pass work on my xbox 360?

...Thanks in advance

:)

You can purchase the subscription with the funds from the gift card if you also have a credit card or Paypal on file. Since it starts a recurring subscription, the system has to make sure you are able to male the following payment even if you plan on turning
off auto-renewal.

Gold is included only if you're buying Game Pass Ultimate. Regular Game Pass does not include Gold. Gold will work on the 360 whether you buy it on its own or through Game Pass Ultimate.

I know I talked about this last night but I wanted to ask another person just to be safe. I refunded the same game in the past 3 times. If it comes on game pass in the future and if I play it through the game pass subscription. Will I be getting banned or no? I’m just curious and worried. I’m not gonna buy the game again just play it through the game pass.

Hello, EnergyxLloyd. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

Yes, it is probably because of your Gold membership. If you have a Live Gold subscription, when you subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate all your Gold will be converted to Ultimate. And if you are subscribed to Game Pass Ultimate and add a Live Gold subscription, the Gold will be converted to Ultimate as:

1 month of Gold - 20 days of Ultimate

3 months of Gold - 50 days of Ultimate

6 months of Gold - 79 days of Ultimate

12 months of Gold - 4 months of Ultimate

24 months of Gold - 8 months of Ultimate

So if your Game Pass Ultimate would expire in May, adding 12 months of Live Gold to your account would make it convert to 4 months of Ultimate, which then would make your Ultimate expire only on September.
