I don't know any more than anyone else does, but I highly doubt it. Just ask all those people who got their $1 codes for Yoshi Yarn on NSW almost a year ago.
How long between codes did it take for them to send the second set? Or were all six on one email?
Weird. Mine came within 20 mins. Just ordered at 10AM.
I believe they will offer the extra month a certain number of times per account. After doing it a few times, I never get them anymore.
I didn't either for the longest time. I redeemed a code a few days ago and it gave me the option again.
That's just how they operate. You can't leave without them harassing you about something which includes insulting you, upselling you, lying to you, etc. The $5 certificates barely work on anything anyway so there's really no point to their membership unless you trade in games to them frequently or plan on buying regular priced stuff from them 12 times a year.I tried to use the $5 monthly coupon from my Pro membership at GameStop this morning to save $5 on the 3 month Game Pass Ultimate card that's on sale for $20, and the girl at the counter claimed that the coupon isn't working on Black Friday.  That is a load of bullsh...
 
The manager got tired of me complaining, and she just took $5 off the total purchase that also included another game.  But they both spent most of the transaction trying to get me to renew my Pro membership that expires on New Year's Day.
My advice - buy your 3 month Game Pass Ultimate from anywhere except GameStop.  I am so tired of their upselling and shady tactics. 
I thought the same thing about Game Pass Ultimate until I finally pulled the trigger on it last year. Other than trying out games that I might not purchase otherwise, I enjoy the Game Pass Rewards and Perks that come with it. You can earn Microsoft Rewards points each month by completing certain challenges most of which are pretty easy, and there are exclusive DLCs that you can claim for certain games. I've been playing video games since I was 3 (I'm 41 now), and I need another game like I need a hole in my head. But I enjoy using Game Pass.
. Meanwhile my one store pickup order for a physical card at Best Buy is still pending from yesterday. That's OK - I wouldn't be heading up there any time soon anyway.Likewise, I thought the same when I first heard about it. It sounded really bad for me since I don't play that many different games. But then when I found out about the gold conversion a few weeks ago after I got my Series X, I decided to give it a shot. And now I've gotten my son (who lives in a different town - I'm already gamesharing with my other son at home) signed up for 3 years too. It's already changed how I play games. Now instead of just playing one game all the time (Destiny 2), I'm giving a variety of indie games a shot now.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MENTIONING THIS ... $44'ish for 8 months is fantastic!
Speaking of indie games, I've actually discovered some great indies from using Game Pass too. Hotshot Racing is my new favorite racing game. I also enjoy Demon's Tilt, Forager, and Neon Abyss. So, yeah, that $6 a month or so is totally worth it.Damn I wish now that I had ordered some from Target to get the extras
I guess it's just as well I didn't get the extra Target codes. As I said before, I wouldn't be able to enter them for months and by then who knows if the codes would be valid.

As an added bonus, I've been able to sell off a few physical games that I got for my boys to pay for some of the sub too. Just sold Forza Horizon 4, Outer Worlds, and Jedi Fallen Order - cleared about $80 for them. Hopefully my buyers don't see how cheap Forza and Outer Worlds are for BF! I sold them just before the BF prices came up.
Should be on the bottom of your receipt.
It's prob just a lag in it updating. I would think you would still have access to 360 GwG though.
That's what happened with the yoshi switch digital codes for $1. I didn't get in on that ons but read that anyone who was sitting on them to sell lost them when they started deactivating the codes that hadn't been redeemed, bur the ones that were redeemed didn't get revoked.
I assume you've already set up "Family sharing" and family settings in the Xbox accounts' settings?
I only bought 2 as I picked up 2 from BB the day before. I didn't get any doubles. I did have problems trying to receive the codes through the email links. Next morning the links were loading.
Nope, but you can only do it if you've never had GPU on your account. If you haven't had GPU yet, you should buy 2 to 2.5 years of gold and convert instead of going to GPU directly. It's so much cheaper for that first 1:1 conversion.
My son's Xbox is set up as my home one. But, yeah, see below...
Yeah, I think I needed to download stuff using my account. Once it's there, he can play it no problem (even when I'm not logged onto his Xbox).
I had a similar problem, but I was completely locked out of the app and games after my original subscription ended even though I added 2 years on the EA glitch. Tried to get some help from MS support but they were pretty worthless. Had me power cycle and remove and readd my main account. After that I decided to get a 3 month code from Target, and it ended up converting the 2 years of EA I added (showed up as gamepass ultimate on my MS account page) at 1:1. I'm not sure if the deal is still live, but you should pick one up in case you end up getting locked out like I was.
Go to “My games & apps,” down to “full library” then you can select Game Pass or EA Play and download the games from there.
You won't see another $1/month or "1:1 carry-over" deal for any existing GP account. As a Game-Pass user, your backend profile switched from XBL to XGP, and it's a 1-way trip, assuming the news is true they're about to close down the "Live" brand, or at transfer XBL-Gold benefits (just multiplayer, not free stuff) to all XBL accounts (what has been the XBL-Silver level). The purpose of those deals was to copy more information about you to the new GP database with your consent, not just to be nice.
Shouldn't he let it lapse, then fill up on gold, then take advantage of the just announced 3 month for $1 GPU?You won't see another $1/month or "1:1 carry-over" deal for any existing GP account.
