Redeem a pre-paid 12 months Live Gold code with Game Pass Ultimate signed

If you currently have Game Pass Ultimate and attempt to redeem a 12 month Xbox Live Gold code, it will convert to a 3 or 4 month Ultimate subscription. If you want to continue with just Gold for 12 months and not Ultimate, you would have to wait for the
Ultimate to expire before redeeming the regular Gold code.

If you don't currently have Ultimate, then you should have no problem redeeming the 12 months of Gold.

If you don't have an active Ultimate subscription, regardless of whether you've had one in the past, when you pay for a month of Ultimate, it will convert your existing subscriptions over at the following rates: -

Xbox Live Gold = 1:1

Game Pass = 1:1

EA Play = 3:1

You can stack up up to 36 months of any single subscription, so, the cheapest way to get Game Pass Ultimate is to buy some pre-paid Gold codes from sites like Amazon or NewEgg, redeem them, then pay for 1 month of Ultimate to convert the Gold to Ultimate.

An example: -

You're starting with nothing.

You buy and redeem 2 x 12 month Gold codes for $60 each from Amazon. You now have 24 months of Gold.

You pay for 1 month of Ultimate, which costs $15. Your 24 months of Gold gets converted to 24 months of Ultimate, plus you paid for 1 month, so you now have 25 months of Ultimate for $135.

Hello welcome to the forums!

Yes in this case you will need to cancel your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to use your Xbox Live Gold pre paid card.

Because if you use the code right now i will change the 12 months for 4 or les le Game Pass Ultimate.

Regards!

Yes the auto renewal is off already. I have the Game pass ultimate until May 25. I already bought a new 12 month xbox live gold card but when I try to redeem the code it says my 12 month
gold will be automatically convert to a 4 months xbox game pass ultimate which I don't want. I want the 12 month of xbox live without the game pass. Do I really have to wait until my xbox game pass expired before I can redeem a new xbox live gold (without
the game pass ultimate)?
