    Resubscribing to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Conversion of Live Gold


    Just before Xmas 2019 I received an offer of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for £1. I had ran out of my gold subscription and I thought this was a good deal and decided to accept it.

    I cancelled it just after it came to an end as I didn't want to pay £10.99 per month. Later on I realised that if I had stacked my account with Xbox Live Gold up to a maximum of 36 months I would have had all my gold time converted to ultimate. I was kicking
    myself.

    I then recieved an email today from Xbox asking if I would like to get ultimate for £1 again. I click the link and then it only offers it for £10.99. No matter what I do I cannot get ultimate for £1 again even though I have an email to say otherwise. I am
    guessing it's because I had it before.

    My questions are these:

    1) Is there a way to stack my account again to take advantage of getting ultimate at the lowest cost? i.e. If I stack my account with live and then buy a 6 month ultimate card?

    2) If I do the above will it convert at a 1:1 ratio or will I lose live months during the conversion?

    3) Is there another way to get the most months of ultimate at the lowest cost I have not thought of? Why would Xbox send out the promotion if it isn't valid?

    Any help on this would be appreciated.

    :)

    A doubt about Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

    Yes, you can cancel Xbox Live Ultimate whenever and revert to only Xbox Live Gold.
    So, when it says "Purchase of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate automatically upgrades your existing Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass membership(s) to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at a conversion ratio each based on days remaining. Future
    code redemptions are also subject to a conversion ratio. Conversion ratio subject to change. All conversions to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate are final: Once converted, you cannot re-convert your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership back to a previous membership.
    ",
    it means if you activate Xbox Live Gold subscription when your subscription of Ultimate is still active. ¿Am I right?

    I think after activating ultimate, if you redeem a Xbox live Gold, it will extend your ultimate subscription.

    Promoción de Game Pass Ultimate -[Translation - Game Pass Ultimate Promotion]

    Hello AlberTOR_2013,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are interested in learning how Xbox Live Gold is affected if you cancel your subscription after the initial conversion to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

    The conversion table
    that you mention refers to the conversion of Xbox Live Gold after you do your initial conversion to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. If you are converting your Xbox Live Gold subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for the first time, you get
    all of your Xbox Live Gold time up to 36 months. As Smwutches mentioned, you also add the month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate that you purchase.

    The recurring charges for your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription do not begin until after your converted time has expired. If you try redeeming a prepaid code for 12 months of Xbox Live Gold while you have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription,
    the conversion table applies and you get 4 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate time added to your subscription. If you cancel Xbox Game Pass Ultimate after converting from Xbox Live Gold, you will lose access to all the subscriptions that are included with Xbox
    Game Pass Ultimate. This includes Xbox Live Gold. We hope this information helps
    AlberTOR_2013!

    can't play FIFA 21 with Xbox live gold

    Did you install and play these games while having a Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate subscription? If you did, have you resubscribed to a Game Pass subscription or did you just subscribe to Xbox Live Gold?

    Gold to Ultimate

    There's a conversion rate when you swap from XBL Gold or Game Pass to Game Pass Ultimate, there used to be a limited time deal where it would convert it at a 1:1 ratio when Game Pass Ultimate first launched but I don't think that applies anymore. Before
    you confirm the conversion to Game Pass Ultimate, it usually tells you how many months your current Xbox Live Gold subscription will convert to.

    If you already have Game Pass Ultimate and want to use an Xbox Live Gold code then I think 1 month of Gold or Game Pass gives you 20 days of Game Pass Ultimate.

    There's an FAQ at the following link, if you click on the question that says "After I join Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, can I still redeem Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass codes?" there will be a full conversion table: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/gold/upgrade
