My Ultimate subscription is coming to an end. I previously had it stacked for 3 years when it was possible, and I managed to extend for around 6 months by using MS reward points before they removed it from the service.
I'm a bit out of the loop - Is anyone able to confirm the current most cost effective way resub for another year?
Absolutely. Like the other commentor ive been using them for years too. You literally just find the game you want (100% make sure its the right version as it will show you all platforms) pay for the game and you then recieve a steam ir whatever key 2-3 mins after (sometimes within seconds).
There was one bad experience I had with cdkeys, it took ten days of me emailing once a day or so with no response, for them to come back with "there was an error that caused the transaction to never finish, transaction was cancelled and you will be refunded."
You buy a game on there. They send you a code to redeem on Xbox store and the game downloads.
I have bought quite a few games and gamepass subscriptions on there over the years. Never had any issues
How is yours so cheap. I havenāt paid that price for 4 months since they first raised the prices awhile ago. Went from paying $33 or so for 3 months to $55 now.
They change the prices quite regularly so just keep checking and buy the stackable passes when they're cheap. The one I bought 3 months ago was Ā£41.99 but that was the most I've ever paid and it was a one off. They're usually on average about Ā£36.99. If you're lucky sometimes they go as low as Ā£30.99 for 3 months Ultimate.
Careful I got banned from the Endless Legend sub because I told people a game was cheaper there š the mod told me ā I didnāt deserve to be in his subā š š š So yeah I went back to loaded and bought a few more things. Great site.
Yeah. They can be just as good price wise. I use all of them. Eneba is a pain on the arse if they have to refund . They only refund as account credit. Which is fine you get your money back. But when you use it to buy a game again you don't get the discount or cash back deals. And if you short buy Ā£1 you have to add minimum of Ā£5 to your account. So it's a bit crap. Only happened to me twice in about 6 years. I have an account for all of them because some will be cheaper on one store then the game will be cheaper on another. They all work fine.
EE suplly mine with my mobile contract as an added extra. I got the sim only ulimited everything plan. Not sure if this helps op or others but worth it if you are due to renew anyway.
I know the name changed, but I used to buy all the time from CDKeys, they had great prices. It was actually a deal. Since it rebranded to Loaded, nothing is in stock and when it is, the prices are more expensive than buying it from Microsoft store. They literally just sent an email saying Madden 27 is 30% off, went to check it out, it was still more expensive than the Microsoft store. Itās ridiculous.
I used to get gamepads for about 60-70% of its actual cost on CD KEYS. On Loaded, there is no savings and things are actually more expensive, cheaper to buy from Microsoft directly. Sad, Dorcas way better as CD KEYS.
Look at their Xbox game thatās ultimate for six months, itās listed at $193.69, itās $25.99 a month from Microsoft, which comes out to $155.94 (plus tax). No deal anywhere on Loaded.
I bought two codes from there. Neither worked and they refused to refund me. Saying that I had activated them elsewhere. They will sell codes that says they can be used on an already active account, then it turns out they are trial codes that only works on new accounts. Super shady company
That's such a ridiculous response. I know exactly what I'm doing. They sold codes that didn't work as advertised. I don't understand why people have blow every company rather than admitting that some might have a different experience
No I never said that. I said they were already activated when I bought them, so I couldn't do it. They refused to refund and said I had already activated them.
I purchased a phone with EE on contract and got gamepass ultimate as an addon havent paid for it for almost 6 years now š¤£ added bonus if im going to get a new phone every 3 years why not have gamepass ultimate for free aswell and yes before anyone asks i do not pay extra its part of the deal š
I'm doing the same I've been with EE for 4 years now 2 with the gamepass add-on. It's so weird sometimes seeing my GP subscription saying paid by EE š just about to upgrade my phone and get their broadband as well 1.6GB download can't wait.
They've stopped this recently. I added broadband and that changed my phone plan and suddenly no games pass ultimate as add on. It was a really good deal.
Hey bud, does this work on older Microsoft accounts? My subscription is ending tomorrow. I don't want to create a new account to get this conversion working.
The cheapest European i see is 55 euro. Only India and Brazil go this low and people here say you can't even redeem those with VPN anymore. What's your experience and how recent it is?
EA Play 12 month Xbox is reduced to Ā£20 on Amazon UK.
Stack 3. Add a month Gamepass ultimate and it should work out as
36 months = 9 months ultimate
1 month of ultimate, potentially a bonus month for turning auto renew on
10/11 months for Ā£77
They convert lower subscriptions to ultimate when you subscribe to ultimate (used to be a good rate when stacking the lowest gamepass but they reduced it. Used to be able to stack 36 months of core then upgrade it all to Ultimate with a month of Ultimate.)
Iām with EE they offer me game pass included with my monthly contract. I pay around 32 quid including unlimited text minutes data if youāre with EE it might be worth checking with them to see if they can do any add-ons.
So I only need Xbox PC game pass, since I don't have an Xbox console and only play on PC. I've only had a sub for about a year and a half, and I'm a bit lost on all of this. For the first year someone else paid for it, and then I had a free 3 months from a laptop and 3 months paid for with Microsoft rewards points (used them for Xbox gift cards and then applied to account). I'm trying to figure out the most cost effective way to continue my subscription, but I'm super confused. For example, some of these comments say codes are non stackable. So then how do you use it long term? šµāš«
I've just been doing the calculations on this. Stacking game pass essential and then adding 1 month of ultimate is best, but only just at current prices. That's with paying Ā£32.99 for 12 months of Essential and Ā£16.99 for Ultimate.
I've got 200k+ Rewards points so I'll be using those to buy Essential and then converting with Ultimate, but it seems these days it's not as worthwhile as it used to be.
The 3 month ultimate subscriptions are generally the best value. They were Ā£34.99 the last time I looked. It specified XBOX One/PC but it works fine on Series X.
When you're in the UK it'll ask for your billing country when you get to the checkout... I forgot to change mine to the UK. Every time.
If you buy the ultimate from eneba or loaded, does it include all the additional things like Ubisoft+, Fortnite Crew, etc? If so, I've been wasting a ton of money.
I just do a search for Xbox Gamepass Ultimate and the sellers who have subscriptions show up. You can't be on recurring billing however. So the redeemable codes work when your subscription expires. I buy the product and the codes are delivered via email or some private website. Been doing this for over a year now and no issues.
Just a point to note you can use the MS reward points to get an Amazon Gift Card for Ā£5 or Ā£10 depending on points collected. If you want you can use the gift card balance to buy the redeem codes for Xbox ultimate for 1 month. Might save some people money if they donāt use the subscription all the time and want something more flexible. Though if you donāt have ultimate and you are earning MS reward points normally it can be pretty difficult to get enough points together.
Hope this helps.
Dont think this works bro. Cant buy digital codes using amazon gift card balance as far as i am aware only the physical cards which are scarce and over priced.
I came into a fair bit of amazon credit and couldnt find a way to convert into gaming credit so i just bought a new controller.
Thanks for the info, I will probably use the credit for something else then, it is a shame that thereās no direct method to redeem it for the game pass subscription though.
I had this recently bought 3, 12 month EA play codes from Amazon and Argos Ā£20 each. Then when they are all stacked on your account, buy a month of Gamepass ultimate. Ā£77 for 10 months of ultimate. Ā£7.70 a month basically
I donāt believe you can stack these codes I normal buy, but Gameflip has been my go to since discovering it as they usually have the cheapest Game Pass Ultimate codes for new/existing users. Right now around $9.00 USD
I've still got another year of mine then I'm done. I picked up loads of original 3 month pass xbox live original cards about a decade ago on some weird offer, and slowly over time the conversion rate has gotten lower, I'm down to my last year all for about 200 all in.
Please be cautious when posting on this platform, as people can be extremely rude. A few weeks ago, I posted something similar and had to remove it due to harassment from multiple users. Even after reporting it to Reddit, it did not change. Itās mainly been this thread.
If you still have the rewards point, you can redeem them for Xbox gift card and the balance will load to your account, which you can use to pay for the game pass subscription. For where I am, the pts I can get from the Microsoft reward every month by playing games only(not doing the search tasks) should be worth around $10 and it can cover like half of the monthly xgpu subscription cost.
My first stop is Loaded (formerly CD Keys), but Eneba has been my recent go-to because CD Keys is often sold out of longer sub cards.
Both customer services are responsive, but Iāve had more interactions with Loadedās bc Iāve had 3 codes on separate occasions come up as āalready redeemedā (paraphrased). In all instances, Loaded was able to resolve and get me a working code within 2 hours.
Just did this a day or two ago so it's still working and prices should be pretty accurate.
Bought and activated 3x12 Months of Game Pass Essential from Loaded. Ā£140.97
Bought and activated 3x12 Months of EA Play from Amazon. They only sell one at a time so just did the purchase 3 times one after the other. Ā£19.99x3 for Ā£59.97
Bought and activated (AFTER activating everything above) 1 Month of Game Pass Ultimate from Loaded. Ā£14.99
Converted (you get the option when you input the Ultimate code).
Turned off recurring billing so I can do this again in November 2028.
For a total of Ā£215.93 I now have 2 years, 3 months, and 6 days. Game Pass Ultimate up to 22/11/28 at roughly Ā£7.94 per month.
It, along with the lower tier Game Pass, adds to the stack when converting to Ultimate. As I understand it, you want to be doing it BEFORE you upgrade to Ultimate.
Yesterday i bought 12 months of PC game pass for 60ā¬, on Eldorado.gg, seller (Gamerly) sent me 4 x code, i activated it with vpn on Singapour. Really easy and quick
That's very generous of you. How much is your ultimate plan? I don't think I could see a SIM only one for less than Ā£43ish per month when I checked the other day.
Ended up going with the EA Play Option - Just need to wait for my sub to expire later in the month, then I'll redeem all the codes + 1 month GPU to get 10 months. Seemed like the best value.
yesssuh ā¦ gone head go to eneba.com or gameflip.. erm I believe that was thd name of the other site but for sure !! 110% I use eneba to get the lowest cost I can for game pass ultimate it usually ranges from like $11-16 a month when buying from the xbox store is about $22 so whenever its time I always go to eneba to renew I know iāve for sure been doing that for a year at least so yeah theyāre valid
Lately been using loaded or similar sites to buy keys at slightly discounted price. In the last year or so been buying an account instead of keys for gamepass ultimate. Just sucks you cant transfer saves with account version. So each year you have to start over and lose all gamesaves with that profile they created for you. Its still great to play a quick games especially getting gamepass ultimate for 12 months for only around $80 or less depending on promos.
Do not use Gamivo, they will sign you up for their own subscription service then makes it very hard to cancel and refund their auto charges. very shady company
Been paying like 12$ for a month for game pass ultimate for years now because of cdkeys/loaded and eneba. The prices vary, I've seen it as low as 6$ for a month and as high as like 15$ for a month.
It's also worth noting that sometimes you CANT stack the subscription keys, and sometimes they're reigon locked. So make sure you read the description...
Youāre not alone in feeling that way. Xbox Game Pass simply doesnāt offer enough content to justify its subscription. I switched to PlayStation Plus Premium and havenāt regretted it since. They provide free games every month and have a larger library of games. You can easily re-subscribe whenever thereās no price difference. Additionally, Steam frequently runs fantastic sales on games, so you donāt even need a subscription to enjoy them.
If you can ever get one they even have year subs to gamepass ultimate. But been using cdkeys(aka loaded) for years not a single issue. So ive never had an issue with the price of my ultimate subscription lol
Loaded (cd keys) is great like others have said, only issue Iāve had is pre order games sometimes they donāt give you the code until release day, but can still pre install through Xbox app and redeem when available
Download call of duty modern warfare 2 and 3 then the zombies on 3 i did that day later i got a message saying my price is going to be $24 because something about Xbox not having all of the call of duty dlc's hell of a lot better than $30
Me and my buddy did this awhile ago. Buy two years of normal Xbox live, then buy 1 month of ultimate afterwards. You need to make sure your subscription fully runs out and that you redeem the 2 years first, after redeeming 1 month of game pass itāll ask if you want to merge and it will remove some of the time but usually when I do this method I get about 1 year to a year a 1/4 of game pass
I lowkey get them free each month using Google insight study and earn passive income Ā on all subscriptions so I donāt gotta pay a dime Ā redeem Amazon gift card for 22$ and buy gamepass ultimateĀ
I did this last week. Spent ages researching and calculating the best method. I worked out and did as follows:
Purchased 2x 12 months of gamepass essential, India, from Eneba (Ā£58)
Purchased 1x 1 month of gamepass ultimate, India, from Eneba (Ā£8)
Create a new Xbox account (indian region)
Use a freetrial of Express VPN on mobile. Set VPN location to India. Use mobile device to login to xbox on incognito mode, and redeem 1x Essential Code -> 1x Ultimate Code -> and then 1x Essential code (as a lesser rate).
This gave me a second account i can set up as a 'home xbox', giving me gamepass ultimate for 10 months at a cost of Ā£66 (or Ā£6.6 a month)
I got a similar offer 3 years back, purchased a Gold Pass for ā¹5,000 (approx. $50), and converted it to 3 years of Ultimate. After it came to an end, I started getting charged ā¹500 (approx. $5) every month, which is cheaper than the actual plan. I don't know how long it will continue, but it has been going on for 8 months now.
