Hi，Jenee Tyson

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

According to your description, you recently purchased an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate code. However, there was a problem when redeeming it, "Something went wrong. Error 0x80131500.



You have tried to redeem it on the Xbox website and console, but it still cannot be redeemed normally. If possible, can you tell us where you bought this redemption code from?



Check the region of your account to see if it is the same as the region of your redemption code.

And have you subscribed to a game pass subscription before? Check if you have any outstanding balance for your previous subscription:

In addition to the above, it is also only able to be redeemed in certain regions. This is the whole FAQ on that error:

"Q: I see a "Check the Instructions that came with your code. You might need to redeem it on a different web page" error when I try to apply my code!

A: If you are seeing this error, that means you do not meet the eligibility requirements to redeem the code!

Do you have Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate? Because the error speak about "conversion", maybe you are trying to redeem an Xbox Live code of a different region and conversion to Game Pass Ultimate don't work in this way. As additional information the codes
are always region assigned.

If you are already a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber, then any Gold codes you redeem will be converted to Game Pass Ultimate. If you are not an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Subscriber, then no, the Gold codes should not convert to Game Pass Ultimate.

Have you had Game Pass on that account in the past? That would be the reason if you have as it's for new Game Pass subscribers only.
