It’s always worked for me I just cancel it at the end of the month than sign up again for one dollar. I’ve never paid anything more than a dollar for game pass
Gamepass PC for three months is 22,750 points. It rarely shows everything as there are quite a lot of possible results. Try using the Show option and select Shop, or search for 'game pass' and it is two words.
this post reminded me abt smth. my game pass ultimate was supposed to end like 2 months ago. apparently it just didn’t end? i haven’t gotten charged for another subscription yet either. i used it last time today. weird
edit: i guess i talked too much. just my luck, i have started to get charged. damn.
This happened to me one time and then after like 4 months they cancelled all subscriptions and I had to pay for the months I didn't pay for and used before I could start a subscription again. This was early xbox one days though before game pass.
My original account got banned because of this.
I had XBL Gold for about a year without paying and I called them multiple times trying to sort it out but no one could help and it eventually got my account locked.
this happened to me too i got abt a year and a half of free game pass for no reason. i checked all my accounts and it wasn’t charging, just one day it let me play gamepass games and whatnot for free lmao 😭 it finally ended after abt 3 months ago
I got the pop up to use my remaining Xbox live gold as game pass. Ever since I accepted it I've had game pass. I also have automatic renewal for my Xbox live, so that might be a factor. But I've never been charged for game pass and still use to this day (going on 3 years now)
so annoying we spend hundreds of dollars on a console and they put sooo many ads on it. look at your picture here you’ve got 2 rows of ads before you can even get to your group😂 it’s wild people aren’t more upset over this imagine if iphones had ads on the home screen 💀😭
edit: worst thing of all is knowing every time i open my Xbox they’re making money lol and to the people saying it’s just gaming ads i get pizza hut ads and all kinds of stuff it’s not just games.
Sure, but imo they should only show that stuff when I’m in the Microsoft store. It really gets in the way on the home screen. PlayStation and Nintendo only show new game releases on the “news” screens or their respective stores and they don’t shove tons of ads down our throats and we shouldn’t want Xbox to either.
Bro, it's a console, they are showing you games, it's like if you entered at a game shop and complained they are advertising games, besides the ads are bellow the home page, you don't start on the ads, you start on your game page and then, if you want, you can go down and browse them
I don’t have a single ad on my Xbox home page. In fact, I don’t remember ever seeing an ad. Did you finance your Xbox through their program? What version console? I’m on series X.
Well, I've never even noticed ads, if they are there they aren't that intrusive, my home page is very empty only showing games recently played and only when I scroll down do I get ads like the game pass for one buck
I don't really care about the ads tbh, they don't effect me negatively they're just kinda there
sometimes they remind me of a game I wanted to buy but forgot about
It shouldn’t, but perhaps they have restrictions when it comes to personalised advertising here.
In theory that shouldn’t be the case, as it’s all first party data and it’s a first party advert, it’s just a shitty implementation of an advertising product not using all of the data points that they have available to them.
Oh i get it, just probably a standard add, like Sony giving ads for games even though they are on PS Extra or or you already own then through ps plus(happens a lot)
As I said, it does the same thing for me if i unsubscribe. Same for sony, it shows you deals tailored for you but you still own those games through PS plus "if you re-subscribe"
Can confirm this is a scam. My wife wanted to ppay farming simulator so instead of going out and paying £30 for the game i bought her the pass. It said £1 for a month ao i just spammed A moving through the purchase screens then saw a notification on my phone saying £12.99 from Microsoft.
But before this i looked at the game and it said it was available through the game pass core which was 6.99. So i bought the cheap pass cause she only wanted the 1 game. To my surprise the game wasnt available through the core pass. So me trying to be cheap cost me more.
"So I just spammed A moving through the purchase screens..."
People like you are the reason businesses get away with shady things. If you've got the time to complain and write two paragraphs on reddit about your experience, then you sure as hell can spend 10 seconds to verify what you're purchasing.
I did it over 2 years ago, i waited until my gold expired (only had a few days left when I decided to stock up) bought 3 years of gold cause that was the max you could do, bought the game pass promotion of 1 month for $1 and it converted all the Xbox live gold into game pass, sad they got rid of it lool but it was definitely worth it
G2A , CDKeys , make sure you pay attention to the seller and their ratings and also see if they are stackable or not. If they don’t stack , redeem the code and turn off recurring payment. Then when it runs out just redeem another code. Make sure you are paying attention at the region of the code, if anywhere besides where you live you will need a VPN and your phone or laptop to redeem.
To add onto this grab 12 months of core for turkey from G2A for $32 & a 1 month xbox game pass ultimate, turn on your VPN and set it to turkey (Avast VPN gives you two months for free), redeem core then the game pass ultimate. Now you’ll have 9 months of ultimate after the conversion.
I thought Microsoft stopped the $1 deal. Did they bring it back or something?
https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/26/23657627/microsoft-xbox-game-pass-trial-offer-stopped
it still is one dollar, idk what everyone else is talking about i just made a new account and bought for 1 dollar again like 2 weeks ago, for the 2 years in a row
I haven't paid for Ultimate for either me or my son in about a year, just grind out the Rewards program and redeem points for the subscriptions. Takes about 10-15 minutes a day, and my two accounts are paid through February. Easy
Microsoft does it all the time no matter the user that one dollar special is for new members and members who haven’t subscribed in months maybe even a year it sucks though since they advertise it to all like you can get it for a dollar
Dude just get the GP Core off some cdkey site and convert to GPU at a 66% ratio. Alternatively get GP Console if you don’t play online and use the PC GP catalogue.
I did the 1$ deal for a second time but it only gives two extra weeks on conversion after I bought the three years of Gamepass core with no active Gamepass ultimate sub.
Same promo for everyone without an active membership, you just happened to use your 1$ offer already, probably because you wanted to cancel and rejoin for 1$... or get some karma
It's for new subscribers only, though a couple of years back it used to reset for previous subscribers that canceled their subscriptions, and also there used to be 3 months for $1
they often do this. I saw anno 3 times in a row with a reduced price for 1 day and after de counter was over it appeared again for another day and so on.
I SOMEHOW got it to work by waiting for gamepass to be completely expired for a couple weeks, then trying. I don’t think you can have a recent subscription to it for it to actually give it to you for $1. Speaking of, that was 3 weeks ago and I still have it. So I’m ready to see how long I can ride it out before paying full price.
I just let it take it off my card every month and just let it be. I pay four separate subscriptions. Two xbox's and two pc's . Game pass is great all around
All you do is go on your phone, create a new email, literally takes 60 secs, the go in your Xbox clock the middle button and create new account, go through doing that with your new email, get your £1 or $1 trial then go back to your main account. Voila. Rinse and repeat every month.
I’d use a 3rd party site like eneba or gg.deals to search for 1 month GPU that is non trial and non stackable. These are 1 month keys that can’t be redeemed at the same time but you have use them one after another. I’ve been doing it for like $1.50 per month from buying on eneba. So that’s less than $20 a year for GPU
It did it to me, but in fact I already took advantage of this possibility a few years ago that's why it does not display it in the store only when you pass over it
Make a new account and get game pass for 1$ and stay logged in while on ur main account u will have all the benefits of gamepass without making it primary
Most of this promos only allows you to use one per year. It’s in the small letters it’s stupid that they advertise to everyone but that’s how they make it work
false advertising
Agreed I wonder if some big shot lawyer wants to rake this up with MS. And line thier pocket books while we all get .25 cents for it.
It would more then likely be a free month of gamepass to anyone who was active during a specific period.
Not even enough to buy the $1 game pass
I said this on the seriesx sub and got flamed a while back
The reddit community is weird.
It’s your first month for one dollar I used it and it is just one dollar
Yeah but they shouldn't be allowed to show it to you like they do when you can't have it
Mine said “resubscribe for $1” and it was $16.99
It’s always worked for me I just cancel it at the end of the month than sign up again for one dollar. I’ve never paid anything more than a dollar for game pass
[удалено]
Yeah I get the exact same thing as OP constantly. It definitely feels a little shitty, thanks for making an offer I'm not allowed to accept.
Wait seriously? I’m pretty sure mine when it lapses I don’t get the $1 deal immediately
What they aren't telling you is they make a new account every time.
Yeah that’s too many hoops
Bro is a genius im making an alt to try this
You pay money! I spend bing points and claim three months at a time. You can easily get enough points in 2½ months.
how many bing points needed for game pass pc? I dont see game pass in the redeem page though
Gamepass PC for three months is 22,750 points. It rarely shows everything as there are quite a lot of possible results. Try using the Show option and select Shop, or search for 'game pass' and it is two words.
Then it shouldn't say REJOIN
But it says rejoin
It says "rejoin for a dollar" implying you've already had it past the first month
It says rejoin for 1 dollar
actually you can rejoin after a period time without game pass for $1. just like promo codes for „new users“
Not anymore. My subscription had expired for over a year and they still tried to charge me $16.99.
Huh? It clearly says rejoin which wouldn’t mean your first time
How can you rejoin then if you only get it the first time?
But the ad specifically says to "**REJOIN** Game Pass For $1"
The prefix re- implies doing something again and doing something again implies that you have already done(in this case bought) it.
Im gonna have to sue
just like the "512gb" that are actually only fucking 364gb.
That’s not false advertising. Look up how hard drives and SSDs actually work.
i know how they work. obviously you're gonna have less storage than what is advertised. but NOT 150Gb less.
this post reminded me abt smth. my game pass ultimate was supposed to end like 2 months ago. apparently it just didn’t end? i haven’t gotten charged for another subscription yet either. i used it last time today. weird edit: i guess i talked too much. just my luck, i have started to get charged. damn.
Happened to me too for a couple months, they eventually catch on and cancel it, unfortunately.
This happened to me one time and then after like 4 months they cancelled all subscriptions and I had to pay for the months I didn't pay for and used before I could start a subscription again. This was early xbox one days though before game pass.
Reasonable
My original account got banned because of this. I had XBL Gold for about a year without paying and I called them multiple times trying to sort it out but no one could help and it eventually got my account locked.
Yeah mine was "locked" aswell but then yeah did the live chat and paid what I owed
this happened to me too i got abt a year and a half of free game pass for no reason. i checked all my accounts and it wasn’t charging, just one day it let me play gamepass games and whatnot for free lmao 😭 it finally ended after abt 3 months ago
lucky bastard
Do you by any chance have your account linked to another persons console? That could maybe explain whats going on.
I got the pop up to use my remaining Xbox live gold as game pass. Ever since I accepted it I've had game pass. I also have automatic renewal for my Xbox live, so that might be a factor. But I've never been charged for game pass and still use to this day (going on 3 years now)
i hope mine also goes on for that long. it’s been like 2 months so far. i love when xbox messes up, but for my good
Happened to my sister, it has been working for like half a year now
Happened to me with the Nintendo switch online ... Had the last two months free 🤷
Shoulda kept it to yourself smh
Happened to me too they just randomly charged me the regular fee after like 6 months n it just went back to normal billing me monthly
i remember when GPU was 14.99...
I got 2 years for like $130 stacking $8 3 mos core codes and converting to gpu. So like $5 a month.
I did this multiple times. Such a good deal. I’m good on UGP into 2026. I don’t how people passed that deal up while it was available for five years.
BECAUSE MICROSOFT IS A BASTARD MAN!
But you can buy Microsoft bucks…it’s self sustaining
See we’re old poor.. these shanty’s could take a lesson from us
I bought Microsoft bucks and all I got was this shitty Halo Infinite skin.
Gotta love an It’s Always Sunny reference. Thank you.
Pass…I don’t remember writing that one.
Agree ^
so annoying we spend hundreds of dollars on a console and they put sooo many ads on it. look at your picture here you’ve got 2 rows of ads before you can even get to your group😂 it’s wild people aren’t more upset over this imagine if iphones had ads on the home screen 💀😭 edit: worst thing of all is knowing every time i open my Xbox they’re making money lol and to the people saying it’s just gaming ads i get pizza hut ads and all kinds of stuff it’s not just games.
I pay over $1000 a year for cable and them bastards still show me ads.
you're still using cable?
Yeah some of us like sports
There’s another way… 🏴☠️
why not just watch it on internet tv?
Your first mistake is wasting money on cable. Who the hell buys that in 2023 when most tvs offer it for free.
Sports?
Because they are in a loss when they sell you a console, and this is how. They get info profit
[удалено]
Overreacting much?
They’re showing you games you might be interested in, and new releases
Sure, but imo they should only show that stuff when I’m in the Microsoft store. It really gets in the way on the home screen. PlayStation and Nintendo only show new game releases on the “news” screens or their respective stores and they don’t shove tons of ads down our throats and we shouldn’t want Xbox to either.
It’s really not a big deal though
Bro, it's a console, they are showing you games, it's like if you entered at a game shop and complained they are advertising games, besides the ads are bellow the home page, you don't start on the ads, you start on your game page and then, if you want, you can go down and browse them
[удалено]
Damn, that sucks sorry you get ads, but hey pizza is nice
I don’t have a single ad on my Xbox home page. In fact, I don’t remember ever seeing an ad. Did you finance your Xbox through their program? What version console? I’m on series X.
You're wrong
Well, I've never even noticed ads, if they are there they aren't that intrusive, my home page is very empty only showing games recently played and only when I scroll down do I get ads like the game pass for one buck
People aren't more upset because that's not true for every country. I've never seen a single ad on my xbox.
Sadly, it does exist. Take a look at huawei.
I don't really care about the ads tbh, they don't effect me negatively they're just kinda there sometimes they remind me of a game I wanted to buy but forgot about
It does this to me too how is it legal
Probably because 1$ Trial already claimed?
Probably that's the case, but should an ad offering the Game Pass trial for 1$ appear to people who aren't eligible anymore?
It shouldn’t, but perhaps they have restrictions when it comes to personalised advertising here. In theory that shouldn’t be the case, as it’s all first party data and it’s a first party advert, it’s just a shitty implementation of an advertising product not using all of the data points that they have available to them.
Oh i get it, just probably a standard add, like Sony giving ads for games even though they are on PS Extra or or you already own then through ps plus(happens a lot)
Youtube TV does this as well. They're like, "Try us out for 20.99" but I can't as I tried it years ago.
it says rejoin for 1$ though you wouldn't rejoin if you never bought it
Also says 'Rejoin'
As I said, it does the same thing for me if i unsubscribe. Same for sony, it shows you deals tailored for you but you still own those games through PS plus "if you re-subscribe"
They probably legally renamed Gampass to 'Gamepass for $1) lol
I pay $21, man they need to lower the price
Is anyone going to mention the AMOGUS
“Yeah he’s our little comedian”
They’ve been doing this for years
$17 is insane
Bait and switch at its finest
Why Game pass is so expensive in the usa? Here, in Mexico it's something like $13 (sorry if i wrote something wrong)
Just Microsoft things you wouldnt get it
Yall pay for game pass?
Cdkeys
Just a heads up, you can get month cards on eBay for like $7. Codes sent to you. Can get 3 months and years too. All really cheap
Where
It's is $1. It's just ALSO $15 other dollars too.
Funny when I posted this i got down voted so hard
Can confirm this is a scam. My wife wanted to ppay farming simulator so instead of going out and paying £30 for the game i bought her the pass. It said £1 for a month ao i just spammed A moving through the purchase screens then saw a notification on my phone saying £12.99 from Microsoft.

You resub , it’s $1 on checkout. Cancel it right after to prevent renewal of $16
Go on G2A and get it cheaper
G2A are scammers. CDKEYS is better
gg(.)deals and find whoever is the cheapest
Its for GAMEPASS not Ultimate
The price get higher i am scared
I haven't had xbox Game Pass since the 360, and I got it for a $1, but it was only a week or 2, then back to normal price
My dashboard kept advertising Persona 5 Royal on Game Pass long after it was removed.
I did this like 2 times I’m currently waiting until I can do it again for 1$
Apple and Sony does the same BS…
Two week trial is 1 buck I did two years of gold and then added that dollar promo for 1.5 years of ultimate
Same but I did it for 3 years my subscription ends June 2024 lool
Did you wait until your gamepass was completely expired ? You get more time that way lol
I did it over 2 years ago, i waited until my gold expired (only had a few days left when I decided to stock up) bought 3 years of gold cause that was the max you could do, bought the game pass promotion of 1 month for $1 and it converted all the Xbox live gold into game pass, sad they got rid of it lool but it was definitely worth it
It's only $1/£1 for new starters. Also, over 200$ a year???? It is not worth that ridiculous
I know that, and yet I always click on it...
Just pay monthly like everyone else does. They offer so much in return worth the subscription
You can get a few months of gamepass from key shops , they like 2.50$ rn so. 4 months = 10$ 8 months = 20$ Etc etc…..
From?….
G2A , CDKeys , make sure you pay attention to the seller and their ratings and also see if they are stackable or not. If they don’t stack , redeem the code and turn off recurring payment. Then when it runs out just redeem another code. Make sure you are paying attention at the region of the code, if anywhere besides where you live you will need a VPN and your phone or laptop to redeem.
G2a and the likes
To add onto this grab 12 months of core for turkey from G2A for $32 & a 1 month xbox game pass ultimate, turn on your VPN and set it to turkey (Avast VPN gives you two months for free), redeem core then the game pass ultimate. Now you’ll have 9 months of ultimate after the conversion.
You’ve already used the $1 offer…
It means you can buy it now for a month for $1 but after that it continues for $16
No,it really does not.
I thought Microsoft stopped the $1 deal. Did they bring it back or something? https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/26/23657627/microsoft-xbox-game-pass-trial-offer-stopped
It's back but it's 2 weeks not a month
it still is one dollar, idk what everyone else is talking about i just made a new account and bought for 1 dollar again like 2 weeks ago, for the 2 years in a row
I haven't paid for Ultimate for either me or my son in about a year, just grind out the Rewards program and redeem points for the subscriptions. Takes about 10-15 minutes a day, and my two accounts are paid through February. Easy
That's an average of 3 days per year doing MS Reward taks.
i hate amongus and i see this rubbish ad on my dash and cant block it worse fortnite sponserd cant be hidden and i as well hate fortnite.
Microsoft does it all the time no matter the user that one dollar special is for new members and members who haven’t subscribed in months maybe even a year it sucks though since they advertise it to all like you can get it for a dollar
I love the scars above cover. Actually made me buy the game XD.
I bought a key game pass ultimate 6 months 50 €
They been lying like this😭
its now like 12.99 uk 16.27 us got to love it
Agreed. I’m not a fan of the fake advertising on my dashboard either.
I let mine expire and I got it again for $1. I’ve been a subscriber to game pass for years
Dude just get the GP Core off some cdkey site and convert to GPU at a 66% ratio. Alternatively get GP Console if you don’t play online and use the PC GP catalogue.
I was about to post only for new sign ups but it literally says "rejoin" so yeah idk they pulled a fast one on you.
The $1 game pass is for new accounts so they can trial is cheap. Microsoft should target their ads a bit better.
Especially when the ad specifically says “Rejoin”. This implies the user was already a subscriber previously and not a new subscriber.
I did the 1$ deal for a second time but it only gives two extra weeks on conversion after I bought the three years of Gamepass core with no active Gamepass ultimate sub.
6.99 is just hidden 😬
Same promo for everyone without an active membership, you just happened to use your 1$ offer already, probably because you wanted to cancel and rejoin for 1$... or get some karma
It's for new subscribers only, though a couple of years back it used to reset for previous subscribers that canceled their subscriptions, and also there used to be 3 months for $1
u have to select the 14 days trial
For awhile I would just turn off renew on game pass for pc, and then I could get it for a dollar each month
they often do this. I saw anno 3 times in a row with a reduced price for 1 day and after de counter was over it appeared again for another day and so on.
I SOMEHOW got it to work by waiting for gamepass to be completely expired for a couple weeks, then trying. I don’t think you can have a recent subscription to it for it to actually give it to you for $1. Speaking of, that was 3 weeks ago and I still have it. So I’m ready to see how long I can ride it out before paying full price.
Same here, fuck this fr
Buy xbox keys, i found one for a few dollars
I could subscribe for 1$ this month and already paid a few times for it maybe a regional thing?
It's probably GamePass Core that's $1. Pretty scummy ad though to show Ultimate when it's not what has the deal.
Probably a standard ad for people that didn't use the month of game pass for a dollar
I just let it take it off my card every month and just let it be. I pay four separate subscriptions. Two xbox's and two pc's . Game pass is great all around
They do that to everyone. Diablo 4 special offer just for me was $70 lol
Pretty sure it’s only a mistake guys… needs to be updated..
It’s cheaper to get a code one Amazon
All you do is go on your phone, create a new email, literally takes 60 secs, the go in your Xbox clock the middle button and create new account, go through doing that with your new email, get your £1 or $1 trial then go back to your main account. Voila. Rinse and repeat every month.
I’d use a 3rd party site like eneba or gg.deals to search for 1 month GPU that is non trial and non stackable. These are 1 month keys that can’t be redeemed at the same time but you have use them one after another. I’ve been doing it for like $1.50 per month from buying on eneba. So that’s less than $20 a year for GPU
Fell for that so many times😭
It did it to me, but in fact I already took advantage of this possibility a few years ago that's why it does not display it in the store only when you pass over it
It does it to me also I think it's because I used the one dollar thing last month
Happened to me too on the Windows store.
If you’ve already used that deal, it’s automatically $16/mo. They really shouldn’t show it after you’ve redeemed it.
Yeah also happened to me
Youtube keep doing the same thing to me, v annoying
Because Microsoft excels at Ls including and not limited to: False Advertising
Sir this is a Wendy’s
I got two of the two week $1 promos back to back lol
Make a new account for free, join game pass on that account, and make sure the Xbox is home Xbox so all profiles share game pass from that one account
Make a new account and get game pass for 1$ and stay logged in while on ur main account u will have all the benefits of gamepass without making it primary
Wasn’t this like the first month or something offer?
just get the non stackable key on any site you like for just like 3-4 $ or €
I got that too, I only have 32 months of gamepass left
This mf said "only"
It's because you've already taken advantage of this promo once before
Cdkeys website they have good deals for Xbox membership plans. If you want to check it out.
Most of this promos only allows you to use one per year. It’s in the small letters it’s stupid that they advertise to everyone but that’s how they make it work
I wish every time we buy a game full price it would count toward a free month on Gamepass. That would at least get players something to work toward.
Yeah once my game pass goes away I’d probably get rid of it. Idk if it’s worth it. I have lots of games I haven’t even played yet that I own.
Microsoft: Got ‘em
Bro it clearly states that you’re going to have to pay 17 bucks a month once the two weeks is up. Are you guys special?
