My math isn't mathing. 2 game pass core annuals is $219.9 and ultimate is $28.95 (total $248.85) . 2:1 conversion makes it a total of 13 months, which makes it just under $20/month— not $10? Unless my math is wrong?
My bad I was meant to type $20. Not much saving unfortunately with this trick.
I haven't had to spend any money since the $1 conversion days.
Completing all the Microsoft rewards activities each day, I just use the Microsoft points to buy three month passes every so often
How long does this take you each day?
The most time consuming is playing games for a 15 minute minimum, but it means having a game open and you cam do pc and xbox at the same time. Generally i open a game on each and do all the other stuff in that window. Its very low effort tasks like 20 bing searches so mostly doable on a phone while lostenjng to something.
To self sustain you probably need to do most tasks every day now. Hopefully they will reach the conclusion the trial we are takng part in is crap and put us back to normal rewards points soon. You can esrn about 13000 a month with kt currently costing 35000 every 3 months to sustain gpu. Luckily mine has 3 years backed up so I'm using rewards to keep that expiry as far away as possible in case they nerf it further and you cant earn enough to keep it rolling.
I did this for a few months until I got enough for the free pass, then stopped. For me it was just too must "wasted" time each time. Added extra thing to my already too long daily todo, so I'm not doing it anymore.
But it does work, and if you are time rich, it's an option worth considering.
You could try Trademe, there's a 24 month pass there at the moment.
for ps5 deluxe subscription i used my india account and banking and got it way cheaper and works well here in nz….would something similar work for xbox subscrption any one tried using?
I looked at this recently and just bit the bullet, bought some game pass core annuals x 2 and 1 month of ultimate. When you do the conversion it is 2:1 so works out to be about NZD $10/month without being exact.
Nothing to brag about but its the next best thing if you need it now!
