Purist 134 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Heads up for those who gets Gamepass on the cheap before it silently switched itself to a $180/year subscription. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,906 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 LMFAO! I knew that was going to happen. MS is banking off people forgetting to cancel their subscriptions and taking their money without them cancelling the promotional offer. It happens all the time with these crazy introductory rates.

It’s a valid strategy. I know tons of people like this irl. To make things worse, this type of subscriptions are always easy to subscribe but a hassle to cancel.

MalaXmaS 646 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Thats why I only paid gamepass with a pre-paid card. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,227 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 LOL, MS was attempting a bait and switch in the billing like a paid porn website from 10 years ago. What a sleazy company. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spicalicious 128 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) man if they let me buy another gamepass ultimate "deal" when mine expires, I'm gonna make sure to fill up my Xbox live gold sub and get 3 years of free gamepass for 1 dollar when I take the new deal. I had two previous opportunities to take advantage of that but missed both. If I ever get another Xbox live ultimate sub for $1 I am maxing out my Xbox live gold sub. Once I take the promotion and get 3 years of gamepass because of the upgrade from gold to ultimate. Edited January 14, 2020 by lil spico XseX Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As you know Live gold is cheaper than Gamepass. Then you have Gamepass utlimate which combines the two right? Well, when they initially set up this deal the Gamepass Ultimate $1 deal would match however long you had left on your Xbox live gold account. So say, you had 2 years of paid xbox live gold, when you get the gamepass ultimate deal for $1, it converts to 2 years of gamepass ultimate for the extra dollar. You can bank up to 3 years of xbox live gold. This was tested and reported to work.. MS is aware and don't care. Also, you could immediately do all those transactions for up to 3 years and then disable recurring billing a few minutes later. All that does is it doesn't bill you again in 3 years.. more people should take advantage of this.. My live ultimate will expire soon.. as soon as I see a 1 dollar ultimate deal I'm applying 3 years worth of live gold card and taking 3 years of gamepass ultimate 1 dollar deal.. If they give me another opportunity. .lol Edited January 14, 2020 by lil spico XseX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
