- Currently gamers can pay just $1 to access hundreds of titles across PC and Xbox via Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass Ultimate service - but don’t activate that one-month trial just yet. If you play your cards right, you can use that same dollar to lock in a steep discount on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for up to three years! In this video Alaina shows you how to do it and outlines some important tips to keep in mind.

Thank you. Still working on April 09/22 here in Canada. Converted 24 months of live gold to 25 months of game pass ultimate for 1 dollar. Saved $280 bucks off the regular subscription price.
@Travis Fresh did it work for you plan to pick up a xbox Friday if it's still working Def want to make the most of it
Do you need codes or you can buy online straight from store?
I just did it (Nov 10 2022) and it worked like a charm. I had 6 months remaining on my Gold Subscription + I purchased two digital 12 months Xbox Live Gold cards at NewEgg (delivered to my mailbox in 3 mins). Once the cards redeemed and $1 upgrade to Ultimate done, I'm now good until 5/20/2025... Thank you so much!!!
I don't understand, the verbiage clearly states a 1 month trial for a dollar then prorated. Why is Microsoft not charging you the prorated charge after the one $1 month?
@@ncharles0333 that's because the prorated price does not apply unless you have it charge you automatically. Turn off autopay, no need to pay the $15 afterwards
@@xKslice928x when I turned off autopay it said my subscription will end in a month. Just like the fine print says.
Do I need a console to do this. I don't have an Xbox. But would like this to eventually play game pass on pc.
Just wanted to say that this still works as of February 16, 2023. I converted 24 months of Gold to Ultimate today, however, I only got 1 additional month for the recurring billing instead of two. Not a big deal, but just wanted to note that for anyone who finds this video. Thanks for the great video!
Hi ...I have a question.what is you only get 1 years subscription does this still works
done doing this 3 year subscription, this video was very easy to understand! thank you!
Still working on April 16, 2022 here in Canada , converted 3 years of live gold to game pass ultimate for $1 just now. The video was great. thank you so much.
Hi, as of 10/18/22 this still works. I managed to lock in full 36months. Thank you for your detailed instruction.
What an excellent guide--clearly spoken, succinct, and a compassionate speaker. I wish you did guides for everything on YT I need help with.
Did it today. Worked like a charm! Thanks for the 3 years!
Worked for me, though I already had done the $1 upgrade in the past, but I let the ultimate expire then did this trick and paid for one month at the normal rate of $15. Still saved almost $400! Great trick still worked as of 8-4-2022.
You are the best PC World and Alaina Yee! I just redeemed 36 months as you instructed. (10/4/22) My Ultimate is now set until 2025. Thanks.
Thank you!
Worked on 2nd Jan 2023 in the UK. Bought 3x12 month passes for £38 each then converted to 3x12 months ultimate for £1
As of today (09/14/2022) the whole thing still works. I secured three years of gamepass ultimate for €145, which would normally have cost me over €320 more
Awesome working on this! My 3 month trial of pc gamepass expires in a week and i needed something to push me to get ultimate.
Just did this on Sunday, April 3, and it worked. Bought 2 one year subscriptions to xbox gold live and it converted to game pass ultimate. Thanks for this info.
I just did this today, 08/02/2022 and it still works! Thank you!
This worked as of 9/18/22, and I got 3 years of gold for a really good rate! and ended up saving $395.67! Thank you!
yay just bought 3 yrs of xbox gold and did the $1 upgrade to ultimate and it worked !!!! 12-18-22 THANKYOU !!!!!
So does that mean that it converts to ultimate at no additional cost besides the $1 or so you have to pay the $5 different between gold and ultimate game pass?
Thanks so much for this clear overview! This still works as of 3/4/23.
Confirmed it worked for me today (in the USA), September 7, 2023 at the 3:2 conversation ratio. I had 36 months of Gold preloaded from Costco codes, and after purchasing/upgrading to Ultimate, I ended up with 25 months (24 after conversion of Gold + 1 month Ultimate purchases at full price). Not as good as 1:1 as before, but still way better than full price. Thanks for the clear guide both here and on the website!
UPDATE: The conversion ratio is now 3:2 instead of 1:1 (as of July 6, 2023). Also, Gold got rebranded to Game Pass Core (as of September 14, 2023). The max you can now get is 24 months of Ultimate for 36 months of Gold/GP Core. Depending on where you buy Gold/GP Core, you'll save at least 50% off Ultimate's standard price, if not more. -Alaina
Do you know until when the $1 Ultimate game pass offer will last?
I bought a 12month gold sub off a retailer to convert to ultimate and saved using a vpn, unfortunately you're right When i converted it only gave me 4 months of ultimate. Still saved money so im not mad, just not as good as it previously was.
Thank You so much! I did this yesterday and it worked.
Thank you for the amazing and detailed explanation! I tried this today and it worked perfectly for me, just leaving this comment here for the community as an update that it's still working! 😊
This is what i was looking for, thx for the update
@@ILE-TalentoHumano have you done it yet?, how did it go
It works as of 3/8/23!!!!!! Just redeemed mine! Thanks so much!
August 17, 2022. Still works. Just did 2 years to be on the safe side. You can buy 12 month subscription for $50 on cd keys. Make sure it says USA when you do. I paid $100 for 2 years of Xbox live gold + game pass ultimate. What a steal. Thank you!!
As of 1/26/2023 I can confirm this still works. Got the 3 years for
Just did it for 36 months and worked a treat....thank you!!
@@davidw2739 I got the same screen that showed one month only but you should see a box before that and shows the total period you have and will be converting. Go ahead and make your payment and you'll see that it just charges the $1 fee but your next payment date will be at the end of the total months so in my case it showed end of 2025. I hope this helps but feel free to reach out to me again if you need more assistance.
Happy Christmas
It still works in the US as of December 24, 2022; I just got the 36-month deal through 2025 for 3 x $59.99 + $1. Thank you for this thorough explanation!
Where did you buy the xbox live gold from?
@@hearvie I bought two 12-month cards from Amazon, and the other from Best Buy. Interestingly, when I tried to buy from Newegg and Walmart they both flagged me for fraud.
Can you do this, using 3x 1 year Xbox live gold gift cards and 1 month gamepass ultimate gift card?
Thank you, Alaina! Worked for me just now.
Thank you so much! I just did 3 years of gold then converted it to ultimate. Works as of December 24/2022
where did you buy your xbox gold live?
Worked like a chart today in Canada!
Thanks!!
Just signed up for three years. Thanks for the help!
Just done it Jan 2023 and still working. Thank you so much❤ London,UK.
Do you think it works in US?
@@jdog7797 sorry I don’t know. Good luck
STILL WORKS AS OF THE DATE JULY 17th 2022,
got 8 months for like 15 dollars which is straight up insane thank you so much
Just boght an Xbox Series X today and did exactly this. I have 3 years locked in. Thank you!~
this works, thanks. just did 3x 12mo cards from amazon without a issue.
No lie?
This works 7/16/22! I took the long road and bought 9 - 3 month game pass cards on Eneba, seller Digital Game Store for $52.73. I subscribed to recurring billing for the extra month and then turned off before entering the new code. The last time I could only activate 3 months since they add a few days here & there and the balance was over 3 years. So that's 35 months total (and 9 days). I subscribed to Ultimate for $15.70 and it says my next bill will be 7/16/25. Total cost $68.43 for 3 years. I was previously spending $188.40/yr. Thanks Alaina!! You added a subscriber!
Worked for 36 months of Gold-to-Ultimate conversion as of this morning. Thanks so much!
@@alainaoxm Do you know if you can do this anyone if all you have available is the 1.00 offer for PC game pass only?
@@dreamomega If you're not currently subscribed to Ultimate, you can convert. But you have to use a $1 Ultimate trial or a regular month of Ultimate for that conversion.
@@alainaoxm ah damn. Okay thank you for the fast response.
Thank you! Still works as of 1st May 2022 in the United States!
Thank you so much! I spent 120$ and now have 2 years of ultimate.
Thank you! Still works in Europe (Netherlands). Just got 24 months game pass ultimate for €81!
Feb 1 st 2023
Conversions still works. You have to make sure everything ends before doing this . I did have to pay a one time fee of $14.99 + tax, since I’ve done the $1 trial before. So glad I found this and good for 3 years!
Great i will be doing this thx for telling that it still works getting mt xbox series s in 3 days
Confirming it still works April 20, 2022
I just did 36 months for $1
Thank you 🙏🏼
Alaina posts a video about gaming on the cheap, I need to watch it. It's that simple.
Works as of 12-27-22. My next charge is 12-27-25. Thank you :)
Still working as of September 23rd, 2022. Thank you so much!
It still works perfectly - I registered today 09/01/2023 (using it with Samsung TV). Thanks to Alaina Lee for good advices.
This is the best guide to use, thanks!! Still working as of 5/26/2022 @3:15a
Which gold pass do we buy? 3 months or the 12? Thank you
@@TomLally i bought a mix of 12mo and 3mo adding up to 3 years
Oct 31 - 2022
- I did it today and it worked!
- at first I had some issues because I mistakingly signed up for the $1/first month subscription of PC Game Pass.
- after realizing my mistake, I cancelled the PC Game Pass subscription and was able to get the $1/first month of Game Pass Ultimate, converting all 36 months of Xbox Live Gold to Game Pass Ultimate!
For Canadians, I recommend buying your Xbox Live Gold 12 month cards from Costco, where they are $10 cheaper than anywhere else you can get them. You have to get them in stores though. If you purchase online they will cancel your order for some reason.
Just did this today 7/19/2022 and it's still working. Purchased three 12 month digital codes from best buy and followed your directions and it worked. I'm good until 7/19/2025 now. So awesome.
Wow, that's nice. I did the conversion back in 2020 so my 3 years ends in 2023. Here's to hoping it's still an option by then, although the odds of that is very slim.
@@TheFirstRealChewy does this 1 dollar offer works only for new accounts?
Just did it, still works. Was the $16 bucks for the conversion due to already having been a member though, but still works out to be cheaper if you get your XLG codes for cheaper than ultimate
Yes i think you have to pay a full month membership if you already have had gamepass. I just converted 36 months and was confused about that as well.
This worked today for me. I converted another 36 months.
I had to pay 1 full month this time probably because 3 years ago I got it for £1
Worked as of 06-08-23 got 36 months from Newegg. On sale right now 49.50 per 12 month membership. I did not qualify for the $1 deal but they don't charge you until your membership expires. In my case 2026. Thank you so much
Can confirm. Still working on 11th April 2022 here in Australia. Just bought my first xbox console since 2009. So keen! Thanks for the amazing advice!!
Which xbox u got
@@nestardaniel1219 I’m bout to get series s
This is awesome, still works as of today in Canada(Oct.1st 2022)
300€ saved, thank you so much.
I did activate the 1€/month offer nearly one month ago, I took down the subscription on the website directly just before it ends and bought two years Gold. It gave me my euro back but even better, the conversion costed me only 1€ again, idk if it is normal, but if you already activated the Ultimate offer, you still can do the trick ! (EU)
Alaina thank you so much for the detailed walkthrough. I just nabbed 3 years of Game Pass Ultimate for $115 using your tips and cheap 3-month Xbox Live Gold codes! 🤯
Just got 3 years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate with the $1 trial, Thank you! 😘
Works 11/28/2022
Bought a series S for $200 on Amazon and found this sweet deal to get 3 years of Game Pass Ultimate for $170 (found some discounted codes). Thank you, guys!
Still works as of April 25th, 2023. Thanks :)
Still working 7/14/22. Wow. Thank you so much.
Tested in the US and worked as of May 2nd. Spent $165 for 3 years of Xbox Live Gold (bought from Amazon), then used the same acct to get the $1 trial for Ultimate Game pass. I confirmed it to be working since my Ultimate Game Pass does not renew until 2025 according to the subscriptions page in my MS account.
Thank you! It works as of 5/29/22 and you are my lord and savior!
Confirmed still working 1st June 2023 happy dayz! Excellent guide, thank you! :)
question . In order to do this you should not have an active subscription right? you should wait for all of them to expire right?
thank you so much for this video. I just got my 2 12 month live gold cards entered the codes and than did my $1 ultimate game pass and it converted me to 3-24-2025. I then turned off my recurring billing.
Thanks it worked. Did everything you mention and got 36 month for 111 EU
Went through cdkeys for $155. Confirmed to still work. Thanks Alaina!!
Just did it. As of 12 /24 /2022 at 7:56 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. My next charge will be December 25th 2025😂 God bless and thank you Ms. YEE for the advice and the extra savings. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and yours.
Worked like a charm. Thanks!!!😄
6:54 at billing information does it need to be a credit card (bank card) or can i pay with a prepaid card (vanilla one, master card etc)
got 12 months today (13th of may 2022) and still works, thanks for sharing such a good tutorial
Do you think this is still good today?
@@youngjoe3389 did u tried?
Did it today on November 29th, 2022. Bought three 12 month gold codes from Best Buy and Target, avoided recurring billing, then bought the trial for 1 dollah. The trial tried to slap recurring billing on me last second, but I turned it off, and now I’m an XGPU player until November 2025. I’m already trying out Insurgency Sandstorm from Game Pass. 😊
Still works January 30, 2023 :-D I also had Ultimate before 2020-2021.
Still works as of 4/20. Just locked in mine.
Thanks for the vid! As of today 8/4/22 it still works 👍. Got the full 3 years ☺️.
This still works in 2022?
@@Eric-mb1do Yup
@@Symbiote9521 So is it redeem 12 month code then turn off recurring billing then add other 12 month and then go to ultimate pass? I just got my Series X today
@@Eric-mb1do Yeah so everytime you redeem a 12 month Xbox live code it'll ask you if you want to turn on reoccurring billing. Just decline every time. Than after you use up 3 of them for a total of 3 years you go to the gamepass page and do the $1 thing and it'll auto covert the 3 years to gamepass ultimate
@@Symbiote9521 appreciate it 🙏. I'm thinking of doing 2 years. Since I heard game pass is worth it
Can you do this if you already have an ongoing yearly subscription of gold and want to convert it to ultimate half way through
What if you already used the $1 trial? Can you still do this conversion thing?
Hi, so my PC came with one month of Xbox ultimate subscription. Should I wait for ultimate subscription to end before buying gold and then upgrading or can I do it right now ? Thanks
Just did it this morning. Still works
My GP ultimate subscription runs out later this month, so I am waiting until then to do this. I have a question though. If I am planning on redeeming 3 X 12-month core cards (36 months) would it still allow me to redeem the additional month of GP ultimate needed to do the conversion? I am afraid that it will tell me I am capped at 36 months of core when I try. Also, I received a 1-month trial code for GP Ultimate when I bought a PC last year. I would imagine that I can use that to kick off the conversion process, right? Thanks
Just did this for the first time today in Canada! I paid $16.99 for the year instead of $1 because I had already done the promo before. I only did 12 months because I was a little apprehensive but I followed the video step by step and it worked seamlessly! Hopefully this is not patched by next year so I can re-up for 3 years! Thank you!
Because my renewal ends on the 8th of this month for the $1.00 promo do I let it expire then add the x3 gold pass 12 month giftcards or add them before?
So if you let your subscription expire you can do it again you just have to buy gold first?
@@idlegalacticminer3663 mine expired so I added 12 months gold then upgraded for 16.99. Not sure if the $1 carries over after already used.
@@YaBoyTimmy exactly everything was expired for me so I got 1 year of gold to try this out and then I paid 16.99 to convert that one year to ultimate for 12 months
@@514Lowe awesome! Thanks for that :-)
Sweeeeeeet! Thanks a bunch!
Still working as of Feb 10th 2023
what if i already used my 1 dolllar offer does it work wih the 15 dollar offer for 11 moth tto convert it?
@@cinitaxI believe so as long as you didn’t have a ultimate subscription active
you can also pay 1 dollar for free trial, turn off reaccuring bills and buy 1 dollar next month after it runs out ( you pay the full 15 usd only if its the second month) worked for me for 6 months already ( 12$ for a year instead of 50$ and with the option to stop )
Still working as of June 8, 2022.
Thanks for the insight!
Got the 3 12month codes on Amazon for 54 usd each.
Did you get an error as you were trying to redeem the second and third codes? The first gold code went through fine, but now I'm getting "Try that again, something happened on our end"
Support figured out my issue. Apparently there was something wrong with the first code I applied. Idk what it was, but anyways I'm all fixed.
@@andybumba4647 i have the same issue. how to fix it?
Whats the difference between xbox live gold and standard game pass? Wouldnt it cost less to upgrade from standard to game pass ultimate than it would be from xbox live gold to game pass ultimate and still get the same benefits?
What if I used the $1.00 already? The fre month expires on the 8th of this month.. do I wait till it expires or just add the x3 giftcards for 12 month (total 3 years) Gold in it now?
07/13/22 it still works. I found it easier to use a web browser to add 3 years of gold, then used my Xbox series X to upgrade for a dollar. Easy peasy
Will the physical card copies work and bascially i have to reddem all the cards first then buy the 1 dollar gamepass thing?
If you already have premium does a gold live card increase the time before it expires?
Hello. I have a question. I've just bought my daughter a refurbished oneX. If I get her game pass, can we only use it on her account or can the family use it on their own user accounts.
Does this work with 4 x 3 month live gold cards?
so for the part where they are asking for the 1 dollar, can you use a gift card or if you already have money in your microsoft account?
What if we have 5 * 6 month live gold.. we can enable recurring payment and get 35 months in total right? Correct me if i wrong.
You are awesome blossom!!! ❤❤❤
got the subscription until Oct 2 2025, best explanation
This worked for me today! Let my previous ultimate subscription expire. Bought 3 years of xbox gold live (CD KEYS - total of $143) turned off reoccurring billing after each code input and upgraded to ultimate for $1
Dang, not in stock.
Just checked out CDKeys and they have a 12 months for 38.59 usd, but its Brazil so you need to use brasil VPN to use it for other regions like USA... don't quote me onnn that though, have not tried yet because im still researching and waiting for the my subscription to GP to expire, which is on 1/21/2023.
I just have a question. I which order do you do the trick ? Do you redeem your Live Gold code first or you buy the 1$ gamepass ultimate first ? I'm in the situtation where I'll buy 3 months per 3 months.
@@pcworld Ok thanks after watching multiple times I got it ! I'm not a native English speaker so it was kinda difficult to understand everything 😅.
If I have 4x3 month gold codes will it let me add them all up? Or do I have to add them every 3 months?
/i signed up for 3 years and converted to ultimate. Do I need to cancel before the end of the month trial for this to stick or will I be charged $14.99 next month.
Thanks for the clear info!
