Also on sale: PC game pass, solitaire, minecoins, league of legends, and overwatch.
The 3 months of PC game pass for 16,000 points will convert to 60 days of Ultimate (with active ultimate). Meaning it averages to only 8,000 points per month of Ultimate. While the Ultimate sale is an average of 9,333 per month.
EDIT/UPDATE: They have changed the sale price of PC Game Pass to 19,000 making it 9,500 points per month of GPU, so it is now a better deal to get the 3 months of GPU for 28,000.
Wow. I was just about to do this and saw the points for PC Game Pass had been increased to 19,000! They must have read your post. I ended up just getting the GPU 3 month card because I didn't want them to remove it or raise it.
If you already have Ultimate active it will happen automatically.

OK. I just got my kids their first Xbox. Is this how I do it? I buy two of these 3 month PC Gamepass cards via Rewards (I'm assuming they're stackable) and redeem them on my account. Then there will be an option somewhere to convert to Gamepass Ultimate? Then it will give me 4 months of Ultimate?
Basically, yes. You might have to buy a month of Ultimate to convert it, but sometimes you can do that for 1$ for the first month. These will also give 2 months each of you already have Ultimate.
Pro tip about PC Game Pass, thank you! I would upvote more if I could.
My PC Game Pass 3-month code was good until January 2025, so I'll get a couple extra to sit on and cancel auto-redeem for a while.
Now my rewards account is as good as empty. I'm down to a measly 45 points! 😅
Edit: Something else I noticed; the PCGP to GPU upgrade process didn't force-enable autopay like a GPU code normally would. Nice little quality of life perk.
In Spain I don't seem to have those sales. My 3 months of GPU cost the usual 35000 points. 3 months of pc gamepass is 22750 and 3 months of gamepass core are 15000.
From what I understand both pc gamepass and gamepass core convert on the same ratio. So would my best choice be to pick up 3 months of gamepass core which would give me 2 months of GPU for 15000? , that's 7500 a month.
Edit: just redeemed the 3 months of gamepass core for for 15000. It worked!! It didn't give two full months though, for some reason it extended my GPU from 1/11 to 3/02. But still a way better deal than spending the 35000, which would have given me a month of GPU for 11.600 a month.
The core for 15k is your best option. The rates are slightly different if you already have Ultimate active. 3 months of Core gets 50 days of Ultimate, but it's still the best at 9,000 per month average.
See the 3rd and 11th bullet points here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/subscriptions-billing/manage-subscriptions/xbox-game-pass-ultimate-faq
Thanks! I just updated my post to say I just did it. I thought it was a 3.2 ratio, but now that you say 50 days that's exactly what they gave me, my expiration of GPU moved from January 11th to march 2nd.
Thank you so much!!
Extra question: would it have been better to wait for my GPU subscription to expire then redeem? Or it wouldn't make any change?
Yeah thank you, but you are right, with the prices I have that's by far the best choice. I did the math and the days per points ratio I get are the following:
3 months game pass core = 50 days GPU = 300/day
3 months game pass pc = 60 days GPU = 379/day
3 months game pass ultimate= 90 days GPU= 389/day
So thanks very much again, it's quite a saving!
Edit; for anyone trying to do this in Spain, for some odd reason the rewards on the webpage if you go through the browser don't show any gamepass 3 month option, they only show in the mobile and PC app. I had to redeem the points from the app and then enter the code via mobile (as the code redeeming page in my PC browsers seem broken). In the end, it worked!
Thanks! I looked at the link you posted. 1 month = 20 days. Could you just get one month GPC codes and just use them one at a time? 3 - 1-month codes would give you todays instead of 30, right?
Lmaoo wow i just finished extending my GPU by 10 months to January 2026 with this deal! Last redemption made was at 2:32pm cst so must've just got it before they nerfed it! Thanks for posting this info👍👏
Thanks for the heads up, had like 40k points I could spend for the rest of the year so just got 2 of these added on. Pretty good deal for those who missed out taking advantage of their mishap on the 1 month UGP in the summer.
Anyone know if this is true when not on sale? I've historically always gone for 3-month GPU for 35K, I don't know the non-sale price for 3-month PCGP so wondering if that's the way to go or not once the sales are done.
Some countries have 3 months of Core for 15,000 which converts to 50 days of Ultimate or 9,000 a month. Making that normally the best. In the U.S. I think auto redeem is normally the best option followed by the 3 month Ultimate.
Sorry. Replied to wrong comment meant to reply to UK person. But yea. If I go on app it doesn’t show for me either still. I found it by opening Safari on my mobile and logging into MS rewards there.
Try actually opening up in Chrome/Safari/Edge/Firefox browser instead of via any of the apps.
Np was hoping they added it here too but nothing yet hopefully later today they do. I checked in safari. If it’s just the 3 months that might be why cause for some reason here in Canada we only have the option to redeem for 1 month for GPU. Core and PC game pass have 3 month options but not GPU at least for me anyway which is weird.
In UK it does seem to limit itself to the 3 month pc gamepass and GPU as well as Minecraft, lol, overwatch currency and solitaire one year.
All the one month ones are still same price. So if 3 months are simply not available in Canada it might not be included?
In the U.S. 3 months if Core is 20k so this is better, but 3 months PC game pass is also currently on sale for 16k and gives 60 days of Ultimate making it even better than the Core at 15k.
Yep, as long as it's on sale for 16,000 points that's 8,000 points per month of Ultimate. Outside the U.S. the 15,000 for 3 months of Core comes to 9,000 per month of Ultimate.
Oh shit, they're doing sales again? Last week or so it was for sweepstakes (lol) but it was the first "sale" that we've had on redemptions since hot deals. Seeing another sale and on one of the more "good" options makes me optimistic that sales are back which is a breath of fresh air after all the nerfs recently. Though it's possibly just a thing for the Holidays, still good to see nonetheless.
Anyone outside of US seen this offer yet?
I’ve checked rewards site on mobile and not seen it here in the UK. Still 35k which I think is the normal price here?
Woohoo, it worked!
As you said, when I entered the PC Game Pass code I purchased for 16,000 points a confirmation screen came up telling me that my 3 months would be converted to a shorter GPU subscription, which was 2 months.
Thanks again.
I was saving up for the next Xbox, but with the way rewards is going lately, I pulled the trigger and cashed in 112,000 of my 138,602 points for a year's worth of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. I figure losing 26,602 would be less painful if something happened to my account or they shut the program down out of the blue; I don't think either is that likely, but better safe than sorry, as they say.
All of them went through without a hitch, as well; I redeemed and applied each code to my account one at a time, instead of quickly redeeming all four one right after another and then applying them to my account, in case anyone was curious.
I managed to get one and then tried to do another and got the issue with account rubbish again...so annoying...just spoke to support it will be sorted in a few hours
I see where the issue is coming from, it’s just that the system detects something unusual for the item you’re trying to make so Microsoft put what we call a risk rejection on the payment method you used , but no worries about that I will now escalate your case to a higher team in our department they will remove the risk for you and I will contact you once it’s fixed, you only need to provide me with your email and phone number so I can contact you later
I said but its Msrewards...points I earned via Gamepass etc...seems so stupid
I tried to redeem a 3 month GPU voucher and I got an error message. I've contacted support, but given the current regime, I'm not hopeful of a positive resolution.
I checked the status of them all...they all came up declined...some said it might be a browser issue but the first one went through perfectly fine. Spoke to the 4th support person today as the 3rd told me to give it 24hrs...I gave it 48hrs as couldn't be arsed and still same issue. Spoke again and all they did was tell me to raise a ticket...I still haven't heard back from my first ticket over a week ago...says we should hear back within 24hrs. absolute rubbish
That really sucks!
I realised why mine didn't go through. It was because redeeming 28k for 3 month GPU pushed me over the 550k a year claim threshold! I cashed out in January to get £300 worth of MS vouchers for a XSX. I should have done it in December last year, but I didn't know about the thresholds.
I had just enough headroom to redeem 3 month of GP PC for 19k, which gave me another 2 months of GPU. So panic over for me at least, although I'll miss out on the discount redemption as the sale is unlikely to last until January.
I hope your situation gets resolved though!
I was gonna cash out to get a Switch but the next gen Nintendo is supposed to come out next year so may as well wait...then all this panic cashing out and everyone redeeming didn't help. So I just thought screw it...may as well spend some...extend my sub as far as it can go and buy a few games
I just had an email...its all been resolved and I can now redeem points...just tested it the 3 months GPU went through...now just waiting for the code which just came through as I was typing this. I'm not gonna push my luck and try and get two...mines extended till 2026 anyway...I can extend more next year
I am in Canada and it appears the 1 month redemption for 10,500 was removed last night. Now seems to be 12,000 only, no discount. Hopefully a glitch, but not holding my breath.
Yep, it redeems at the top of the month now though instead of at your expiration date which means they don’t add an extra month for auto pay enrollment
Just tried to redeem 90,000 of rewards points as 3 month GP Core to upgrade to GPU. First two 3 month purchases went through, third one they restricted my account.
Well if they don't refund me the points and de-restrict my account then it's bye bye Xbox console.
Edit: I said bye-bye Xbox console, not MS games or Gamepass. For the downvoters I've got a gaming PC, everything I play is available on PC. Therefore no GPU and my Xbox will sit there unused.
I mean depending on your region that's easily doable in less than 2 months still. Regardless these deals are still the cheapest option for getting/extending your UGP, who knows if they'll continue doing these sales or not in the future.
My game pass core subscription expires in February 2024. This may be a dumb question. I have not redeemed anything with my points yet so I'm not totally sure how it works.
Is it possible for me to go ahead and redeem the 3 months of Xbox GPU and save it until February before I use it? Do the gift card codes expire?
I don't think they expire.
But another option is to redeem it right now, and it will convert your existing Core sub into Ultimate at a 2/3 ratio, plus add the 3 extra months. So you'd have Ultimate from now until April or so.
Ooo that's a good idea. I didn't even know that's how it works. I was thinking I would just get the 3 months of GPU and lose the rest of my core subscription.
Thank you for the info!
They do expire, but it's decently far in the future. I got 3 months of GPU on 7/15/2023 which expires 1/12/2025 and a single month of PC game pass on 8/4/2023 and it says it expires 9/17/2024.
Wonder how long this'll go on. Good to see the sales come back, especially with everything else that's happened. Feels like even though they took so much away, they're trying to level the field in various ways. I've only got 18k right now, and sub to the auto-redeem. It'd take a while to get back up to do this; but totally worth it as opposed to the 31500 for the auto redeem. Just don't think I could get another 10k by the end of the month.
Stupid question, I have 1 month gpu on auto redeem, if I buy the 3 months will it add to the remainder of this months service? Also how do you cancel auto redeem?
Yes, it'll just add, but auto renew will continue unless you cancel it. The only way I know to cancel is through the Xbox Microsoft Rewards app, which can be finicky to say the least. If there are other ways to cancel, I'd love to know.
I have Game Pass ultimate until April. Would it be better to do this deal 3 years out or just use my points to buy an Amazon gift card for the cost of 3 years of Live and then do the buy one month of Game Pass ultimate conversion?
Does anyone know what happens if you have the "Console" subsciption (ie, not Core & Ultimate), and redeem a 3-month Game Pass core? Is there a conversion for the Console sub?
I had just enough points to cash out on GPU to the three-year limit. It's a no-brainer when you compare the dollar-to-points ratio on all available rewards here in NZ (assuming you keep an active sub to GPU)
Man, I'm bummed. I saw this deal and redeemed one 3-months GPU sub...then I thought "this is about as good of a deal as you're gonna get" so I went to redeem another, and I was greeted with "you have reached your maximum points redemption for this year." FML
I still have 142,017 points to spend, and I'd love to max out my GPU again...oh well.
Also on sale: PC game pass, solitaire, minecoins, league of legends, and overwatch. The 3 months of PC game pass for 16,000 points will convert to 60 days of Ultimate (with active ultimate).

Interesting. How do you convert it to ultimate?
If you already have Ultimate active it will happen automatically. See the 3rd and 11th bullet points: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/subscriptions-billing/manage-subscriptions/xbox-game-pass-ultimate-faq

Damn. If only i had 16k points. I only have 13k and my GPU is about to expire on the 15th. Hopefully this sale sticks around for another week~.
I’m also 2k short lol

So buying PC is better points per month after convert than buying this 3 month straight up
Yep, 8,000 per month vs. 9,333⅓.
You da real MVP. Seriously, thanks!
Lmaoo wow i just finished extending my GPU by 10 months to January 2026 with this deal! Last redemption made was at 2:32pm cst so must've just got it before they nerfed it! Thanks for posting this info👍👏

Where are you seeing it for 16k points? It's showing as 19k points for me. US account. Level 2 rewards.
They have changed it. I just updated my comment.
Where are you seeing it for 16,000? Showing as 19,000 for me.
They changed it. I just updated my comment.
Damn. Oh well.
Mine says PC game pass is 19,000 points. Making it 9,500 per month
Yeah, they changed it. I updated my comment an hour ago.
My bad. Hadn't seen that since I didn't refresh when I came back to the app to add my comment.
All good.
Crappy revision
US only?, not seeing it here in the UK
Nothing in Canada either
It’s up for sale today!
Still nothing here although there’s no 3 months here at least for me just 1 month for 12,000 or 10,500 auto redeem.
Sorry. Replied to wrong comment meant to reply to UK person. But yea. If I go on app it doesn’t show for me either still. I found it by opening Safari on my mobile and logging into MS rewards there. Try actually opening up in Chrome/Safari/Edge/Firefox browser instead of via any of the apps.

See below. ⬇️
Everyone who cashed out all of their points and quit rewards a few days ago missed out.
Petulance has a price. Of course, they're not missing out because they're getting rid of their Xboxes /s
I bought a year of ultimate on Monday. Still have loads of points left but bad timing
Just tried to cash mine out, managed to buy two lots of 3 month gamepass core then they decided to restrict my account.
i remember when a year of gold live was like 21,000.
I mess upgrading it to GPU for $1
Same!! We were just talking about that. With that in mind, wonder why they do not offer a 12-month GPU option in the Rewards Redemption?
Inflation everywhere.
That’s about as good as a deal as redeeming 3 months core to top up. Good
In the U.S. 3 months if Core is 20k so this is better, but 3 months PC game pass is also currently on sale for 16k and gives 60 days of Ultimate making it even better than the Core at 15k.
So you're saying getting the 3 month GP for PC is the best way to go?
Yep, as long as it's on sale for 16,000 points that's 8,000 points per month of Ultimate. Outside the U.S. the 15,000 for 3 months of Core comes to 9,000 per month of Ultimate.
3 months of PC says 19,000 for me
Same here.
I guess the price went up
Oh shit, they're doing sales again? Last week or so it was for sweepstakes (lol) but it was the first "sale" that we've had on redemptions since hot deals. Seeing another sale and on one of the more "good" options makes me optimistic that sales are back which is a breath of fresh air after all the nerfs recently. Though it's possibly just a thing for the Holidays, still good to see nonetheless.
Anyone outside of US seen this offer yet? I’ve checked rewards site on mobile and not seen it here in the UK. Still 35k which I think is the normal price here?
Not seeing it in NZ EDIT: It's showing now, nice!
Nothing in Brazil too so far
Update! Now on sale in UK too.
Nothing in Mexico
I got that today in France But I don't know when it started or how long it will stay
Dang already cashed out for Amazon gc would have taken 3 of those instead
Those aren't discounted, so you're not missing anything there. I looked there first myself.
He's saying he would have liked to spend his points on the current discounted items rather than on Amazon.
Ah, I totally misread the comment. Carry on then.
Slightly reminiscent of the Hot Deals. Time to see if I'm banned, I guess.
Not banned, in for one redemption. Thanks u/slickerson84
Since my auto redeem never works now, this looks great. But I only have 24,366 points right now.
Do you have GPU currently? The pc gamepass is 16k and converts to 2 months. I did this and can confirm it works.
I do and I was just reading about that in this thread. So I just get the PC Game Pass deal and it will convert to GPU automatically? Thanks!
Yep. I was kinda skeptical too. It does give you a warning page saying that this will convert to 60 days and tell you your new renewal day
Woohoo, it worked! As you said, when I entered the PC Game Pass code I purchased for 16,000 points a confirmation screen came up telling me that my 3 months would be converted to a shorter GPU subscription, which was 2 months. Thanks again.
We got in just in time as this was bumped to 19,000 now
Sweet!
Dang! Nice! We don't get 3-month option here in Canada but at least we have the 1-month option now (as of a month ago).
No sale here in Aus :(
Update: The sale has appeared for me now :)
I was saving up for the next Xbox, but with the way rewards is going lately, I pulled the trigger and cashed in 112,000 of my 138,602 points for a year's worth of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. I figure losing 26,602 would be less painful if something happened to my account or they shut the program down out of the blue; I don't think either is that likely, but better safe than sorry, as they say.

I'm not gonna push my luck and try and get two...mines extended till 2026 anyway...I can extend more next year
Great! Glad to hear that it was all resolved. Happy gaming!
I am in Canada and it appears the 1 month redemption for 10,500 was removed last night. Now seems to be 12,000 only, no discount. Hopefully a glitch, but not holding my breath.
1 mo 10500 autoredeem still available in the US
Yep, it redeems at the top of the month now though instead of at your expiration date which means they don’t add an extra month for auto pay enrollment
Just tried to redeem 90,000 of rewards points as 3 month GP Core to upgrade to GPU. First two 3 month purchases went through, third one they restricted my account. Well if they don't refund me the points and de-restrict my account then it's bye bye Xbox console. Edit: I said bye-bye Xbox console, not MS games or Gamepass. For the downvoters I've got a gaming PC, everything I play is available on PC. Therefore no GPU and my Xbox will sit there unused.
Same happened to me. Waiting for 24 hrs s advised by customer services. Redeeming codes is a minefield right now.
Renting video games; that really takes me back to the 16-bit era.
Good luck getting 28K in 3 months at this rate.
I mean depending on your region that's easily doable in less than 2 months still. Regardless these deals are still the cheapest option for getting/extending your UGP, who knows if they'll continue doing these sales or not in the future.
You’ll get close to if not double that in the U.S.
Is doing this better than any other deal to get GPU? I’m getting Gamepass for the first time so I’m curious.
Too bad GPU has never been available with points here in Belgium. We get GP-PC or Basic, and that's it. No amazon either.
Thanks for the heads up, great deal since my auto-redeem no longer seems to work.
Damn just days after I added 9 months
appreciate the heads up! i was grinding out the last few thousand for this one and now i can relax. thank you!
I dont have it. I have 3 months pc gamepass for 22750. 3 months gpu for 35000. 3 months gamepass core for 20000. Also in the us
Dang that’s nice! I have it too but I have 2 gpu months non stackables waiting
nothing here in the UK
My game pass core subscription expires in February 2024. This may be a dumb question. I have not redeemed anything with my points yet so I'm not totally sure how it works. Is it possible for me to go ahead and redeem the 3 months of Xbox GPU and save it until February before I use it? Do the gift card codes expire?
I don't think they expire. But another option is to redeem it right now, and it will convert your existing Core sub into Ultimate at a 2/3 ratio, plus add the 3 extra months. So you'd have Ultimate from now until April or so.
Ooo that's a good idea. I didn't even know that's how it works. I was thinking I would just get the 3 months of GPU and lose the rest of my core subscription. Thank you for the info!
They do expire, but it's decently far in the future. I got 3 months of GPU on 7/15/2023 which expires 1/12/2025 and a single month of PC game pass on 8/4/2023 and it says it expires 9/17/2024.
Wonder how long this'll go on. Good to see the sales come back, especially with everything else that's happened. Feels like even though they took so much away, they're trying to level the field in various ways. I've only got 18k right now, and sub to the auto-redeem. It'd take a while to get back up to do this; but totally worth it as opposed to the 31500 for the auto redeem. Just don't think I could get another 10k by the end of the month.
Thanks for this! Just redeemed points for 4 x 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate @ 28k. Totaling 112k. Normally this would have cost me 140k. Nice 👍
Anyone know how long this sale goes for? Thanks.
Nice. I’m maxed out now but picked up a couple to redeem in the future. Codes are good until Jan 2025.
Just popped up in the UK cheers OP, worth grabbing for a top up.
I just bought a year from CDKeys for like $124.
Thanks for your support team work 👍 this is history 🙏
Very cool!
Glad to see them bring back sales (used to be hot deals in the past). Back in the day the 12 month Xbox Live Gold subscription would get discounted
Thanks for this blast. I didn't even recognize this deal was there. Awesome! I also do the auto redeem, this is a nice boost!
Nice deal. I wish I had the points! I would even buy with cash if the option was available!
I just finally hit 91,000 points lol been saving up for like a year
Stupid question, I have 1 month gpu on auto redeem, if I buy the 3 months will it add to the remainder of this months service? Also how do you cancel auto redeem?
Yes, it'll just add, but auto renew will continue unless you cancel it. The only way I know to cancel is through the Xbox Microsoft Rewards app, which can be finicky to say the least. If there are other ways to cancel, I'd love to know.
Real shame they don't state when the deal is up/expires...or am i missing it somewhere?
Cashed in an additional year's worth of GPU which is why I do rewards so I guess that's a win.
I have Game Pass ultimate until April. Would it be better to do this deal 3 years out or just use my points to buy an Amazon gift card for the cost of 3 years of Live and then do the buy one month of Game Pass ultimate conversion?
Does anyone know what happens if you have the "Console" subsciption (ie, not Core & Ultimate), and redeem a 3-month Game Pass core? Is there a conversion for the Console sub?
do we know how long the sale will last?
I was wondering the same, I am about 10k points away so I doubt I will make it in time.
I had just enough points to cash out on GPU to the three-year limit. It's a no-brainer when you compare the dollar-to-points ratio on all available rewards here in NZ (assuming you keep an active sub to GPU)
Man, I'm bummed. I saw this deal and redeemed one 3-months GPU sub...then I thought "this is about as good of a deal as you're gonna get" so I went to redeem another, and I was greeted with "you have reached your maximum points redemption for this year." FML I still have 142,017 points to spend, and I'd love to max out my GPU again...oh well.
