Seconded, did what it needed to.
Presumably buying this 3 times and converting for £1 is the easier way to go and doesn't need VPNs? https://www.cdkeys.com/xbox-live/me...x-live-gold-membership-xbox-one-360-eu-cd-key My gamepass (previously done on a £1 Gold conversion) expires next week.

Hi guys...
Hoping you can advise... my sons ultimate game pass expires this Wednesday11/11 .. I've set it to not reoccur... I've been reading all the posts.. so have I got this right..
If I buy 3 years of xbox Gold and wait until the 12/11 and join game pass for £10.99 it will update the 3 years of Gold I've bought into ultimate pass?... I did the £1 deal last year so used that.. and I don't have vpn so cant do the Brasil codes.. so just need to find a bargain deal for 3 years for Gold now??
Thanks in advance

Nice. Effectively £3.36 a month for all my gaming needs for 3 years.

Easier, but more expensive. Not much more of course in the scheme of things, but vpn is super easy.

I'm guessing this doesnt work after taking the £1 Ultimate deal? As in if I buy a years gold now, it wont become ultimate if that makes sense
I believe you can still convert it, but it's likely you won't get the trial price offer ie £1 it'll be £10.99, but it should convert. So make it worthwhile and convert 3 years worth
No.
You will need to buy a full month of GPU rather than using the £1 offer.
Why is that? I will do it when the GPU expires.
It works once the gamepass sub has expired. You might not get the £1 offer again but all that means is you pay full price for 1 month instead.
The trial is only for accounts that have never had GPU.

Is that why I get a error when I try to upgrade mine?

Don't be scared of VPN's people 
It's a bit of software to install and isn't complicated. I used ProtonVPN, install, select Brazil and you're done.

Ah, I just re-read what you all said. Buy 3 years of gold and then upgrade for £10.99.

It's not being scared of using a VPN. It's a concern that it's effectively using a code for a region that we're not in, and the possible repercussions from Microsoft. Granted, I've never heard of something happening but I'm not sure I'm willing to risk my 15 year old Live account just to save some money.
In case it helps anyone, I've just done the whole process of purchasing Xbox Live Gold 12 Months (Brazil) from CdKeys and converting it into Xbox GamePass Ultimate whilst having an existing Xbox Game Pass for PC subscription.
I've previously used Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate £1 trials, and a 3 month code from a GPU promo on my PC, being tied into the Game Pass for PC subscription until 23/11/2020. Not wanting to wait to access the games on my Xbox Series X until then or miss out on the promotion, I've decided to follow the above conversion method and ended up with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription that now expires on 22/02/2023. Effectively 27 months added for £71 (£60 for two codes + £11 for 1 month of Game Pass), working out at £2.63/month.
The key was to disable auto renewal after every code/suscription was activated to get the extra 3 months free, as I didn't want to risk buying 3x12 month codes with an existing Game Pass subscription and finding out I cannot convert them all. I've used ProtonVPN to activate the Brazil codes after the purchase, all took less than 10 min.
Hope this helps anyone with an active Xbox Game Pass for PC or Xbox Live Gold subscription that is thinking about doing the conversion to Ultimate early.
Fingers crossed similar deals will be available in 2 years.

Then do it on a secondary account on the same console.
