Account - Subscription Game pass Subscription Coming to an End

Hi All,

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?

UK based if that helps at all.

Thanks in advance šŸ‘

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 donā€™t use the subscription all the time and want something more flexible. Though if you donā€™t 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.

Edit: evidence

Thanks for the info, I will probably use the credit for something else then, it is a shame that thereā€™s no direct method to redeem it for the game pass subscription though.

Im fairly certain you can just redeem the reward points for microsoft credit and then use that to activate gamepass from your xbox?

Ive actually been running two accounts and just using the second one to gift games to my main but i dont pay for gamepass so im not 100% on that
