I just did this and didn't get the option of the $1/£1 upgrade. Has to fork out for the 1st month. Definitely the way to do it though unless MS change their policy regarding the Gold=Ultimate conversion in the next few months.

Best value is to get it free or 50% off
Absolutely, but for those who don't do Microsoft Rewards, it's the least number of steps for them. They still get 3 years for substantially less than they would pay otherwise.
just get a job at microsoft , that is what I did . I did it all for the gamepass...
Hope they pay you more than $1 for the first month and $15 for each following month...

They pay me pretty good. But I think I nailed a few interviews with Meta. Maybe they will offer me a sizable increase to jump ship. Then I gotta stock up on game pass and office lol
Yep and the Xbox insider joining were pretty much instaneons. The weird thing is that... It also works with my US-region Xbox account. Just need to change the windows region.
Btw
Did I slipped into a different reality?

I know nothing of Xbox or GamePass so could you dumb this down for me?
Like this?
I just bought the £1 trial, so I already screwed up?
TL/DR: Let it expire then do those steps, but might be tiny bit more for 1 month GamePass Ultimate code if they don't let you use a $1 trial.
Xbox Gold is for consoles ($60 a year)
Xbox Game Pass is for consoles ($10 a month)
PC GamePass is for PCs and includes PC EA Play ($10 a month)
Game Pass Ultimate includes PC Gamepass, PC EA Play, Xbox Gold, Xbox GamePass, and Console EA Play and Cloud Streaming. ($15 a month)
If you want GamePass Ultimate, then the best way of doing it is how they listed it out. If you did not stock up on Live Gold before hand, then let the GamePass Ultimate expire. Once it's expired, you load up on Xbox Gold for 3 years, then redeem 1 month of GamePass Ultimate. When done in that order, the upgrade conversion is 1 to 1.
If you only want PC GamePass then the math to figure out if GamePass Ultimate is worth it becomes comparing the following two costs:
3 * ($45 to $60 for Gold Year) + $15 Ultimate = $180 + $15 = $195 for 3 years of GamePass Ultimate
3 * (12 * $10 month) = $360 for 3 years of only PC GamePass
3 * (12 * $15 month) = $540 for 3 years of GamePass Ultimate
The first Gold Conversion equation depends on how cheap you can get 1 year of Gold for. Even at the highest price you can see it maxes at $195 for 3 years of everything in GamePass Ultimate doing the conversion upgrade. It would be $360 just for PC GamePass. It would be $540 for GamePass Ultimate if you paid monthly.
If you want continuous service for 3 years then the conversion upgrade is where it's at. However, it may be in your interest to pick and choose what months you want it. Like maybe pick it up for just 2 to 4 months a year when you have time to play. All depends on how you think you could use it.
Some details about Ubisoft games on PC Game Pass was made available today. In typical Ubisoft fashion, it's not as straight forward or direct as even the EA Play titles.

Huh? I didn't realize ubi has come to game pass for months despite I've been checking "new games on gamepass" section almost routinely every week.
Nice that they updated the UX so it's easier to notice

Wow, they sure do it make it annoying if you want to play UBIsoft games on GP. Then again it's also annoying with EA Play games on GamePass, although at least there it's a bit more understandable since GamePass is just hooking into the complementary access to EA Play.
So, sounds like the same reason I don't play EA games on Game Pass (annoying to go through the EA launcher) will be the same reason I probably don't play UBIsoft games. Man I still have nightmares about trying to get BF1 to work before just giving up.

Apparently Game Pass PC is $1 for 3 months for new and returning users. The top comment says the same offer applies to Ultimate.
I'm definitely not offered a single month for $1, let alone 3 months. In the US here as well. I would be classified as a returning user since I'm not currently subscribed.
Me neither. I had Ultimate until early May. I do, however, see the $1 for 3 months offer for PC.
The offer’s good until July 1st, so I can wait, say, 31 days after my subscription expired to see if $1 Ultimate opens up for me.
