Xbox Ultimate for 3 years on the cheap...ish (For those that haven't jumped yet from Gold)

[waali]

For those that haven't jumped to Xbox Ultimate from Gold but are considering it, I completed the following this morning.

I started with:

- Xbox gold with about 4 months left on it

- Reoccurring payment was setup and on

- Logged in to the correct Xbox account

I did the following:

Step 1

1. Go to https://account.microsoft.com/services/ > Manage > Turn off recurring billing > Scroll to the bottom and select "Turn off recurring billing"

2. Purchase 3mth XBOX (WW) for $18.99 here: https://www.cdkeys.com/3-month-xbox-live-gold-membership-card-xbox-one-360

3. Get Key from CDkeys "MyAccount"

4. Use Key here: https://account.microsoft.com/billing/redeem Make sure 1mth FREE if reoccurring setup is enabled.

6. Refresh https://account.microsoft.com/services/ to make sure 4 months has been applied to gold

7. Go to step 1 to turn off billing. Rinse and repeat to max of 36 months.  (9 x 3month keys)

Step 2 ONLY AFTER MAXING OUT GOLD TO 36 MONTHS (3 YEARS)

Go here and join Ultimate for $1 https://www.xbox.com/en-AU/xbox-game-pass#join

Enjoy, you now have 3 years of Xbox ultimate for a max of ~$170 or ~$4.75/mth (current ultimate is $15.95/mth)

My cost was ~$150 as I already had 4 months of a 12 month gold subscription remaining (8 x 3month keys)
