Redeeming an 3-month XBOX GOLD LIVE code while using XBOX Ultimate Game Pass

If you redeemed a 3-month Xbox Live Gold code while you still had an active subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, your 3-month Xbox Live Gold would be converted into your existing Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription at a ratio based on the ERP (estimated
retail price) of the code.

Example: 3 months Xbox Live Gold = 50 days Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

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.

It is probably because you previously activated your game pass ultimate subscription. If you redeem a prepaid gold or game pass code while you have active the game pass ultimate subscription, the code will extend the time of the game pass ultimate subscription
but considering a conversion. A 12-month code of Xbox Live Gold extends a 4-month equivalent of a Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

Here is a link that contains information on equivalences.

Navigate the FAQ to "After I join Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, can I still redeem Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass codes?" section, you can find the table with conversion values.

Did he gift you ultimate game pass or 1 year of gold? Since there is a 1:1 conversion ratio for a normal gold or game pass to Ultimate game pass. For example if you were to redeem a 3 month game pass code while you have ultimate it would convert to a little
over a month in ultimate.
