It must say somewhere what the current conversion ratio is.
This is all I get, nothing about doing it “for the same amount of time” or anything.
That’s why I’m scared to do itMine said the following when I did mine back in September.
I’ve got exactly 36 months stacked and I reaaaaally don’t wanna waste it...

Call them up and ask what the current ratio is I guess. Does it not say anywhere?
Nope, nowhere. It literally has 3 sets of different info on the same page...
From the small print:
From the FAQ:
The Microsoft store page:
But then when clicking Join:
I wish it would tell me the ratio or how much ultimate I’d get before I have to commit...
any ideas?
TIA.
Thank you so much lads! I took the plunge and did it even though it never said about “for the same time”, and lo and behold it worked fine...
What a chuffin’ relief. That’s me set until 23. Phew!
and it gave me OneDrive for some reason lol?
For anyone else who may read this and needs advice - Waited till my current GPU expired, then bought 3x12 Brazil XBL codes from CDKeys and activated using a VPN, declining free month for recurring each time. Turned off VPN and used a GPU 1-month code to convert. Worked perfect. If you see
Thanks again for everyone’s help, very appreciated

then don’t panic like I did. This message is much less transparent than the one before EA play came out, so it can easily spark concern. But, as of 26/11/20, the “conversion ratio” it speaks of is indeed 1:1. Maxed out 36mo of GPU, boom.

Good stuff. Glad you sorted it. Nice bonus with the one drive
I'm unsure about this, looking through the 231 games on there currently, the only ones I'm interested in (would consider buying) are Forza H4 & M7, Wolfenstein YB, FS2020, F1 2019... Apart from FS 2020 these can all be bought for less than one year of GPU. I'm also thinking to buy Doom, but that's only £4 now...
Spending £40 a year on GPU, for my limited use, doesn't really seem any better than just buying half a dozen games at £4-10 a time on sale.

So I have about 6 months left of Gold. If I do this now and buy two years I apply for the free month each time and end up with 2 yrs 8 months? My son has nothing at present and if I did it on his account I could buy 3 years but not apply the free months?
yeah, that's how it's work. 2 years 8 months is a good return!
If you have an xbox it'll present a better value proposition as the microsoft games (halo, fable etc etc) will all release on XGP from day one - which I guess will also apply to bethesda titles.

My GPU doesn't run out until almost end of April next year as I did this about 2 and a half years ago

Yeah, I just did it with the Brazillian codes from CD keys, 3 years of xbox live gold, then in the manage account bit, there's an option to upgrade to game pass ultimate. I'm not sure if there is a conversion for the PC gamepass only?

what VPN you using? seems to be rejecting my paypal using that method
Zen worked for me.
You can buy the Brazilian cards without using a VPN. You just activate the VPN to redeem them on the MS site.

I just used tunnelbear, more or less any should work though. I only turned it on for entering the code on Microsoft though, otherwise I'd imagine you probably tripped some fraud flags at paypal.
