A while back I upgraded my existing Gold subscription to Ultimate for $1, but it just ran out last month. At this point it's $15 per month for Ultimate.

Can I cancel my ultimate subscription, get another year of Gold, and update for $1 again? Or is that a one time only thing?

I'm with the same dilemma, wonder why I didn't sign up for 36 months of gold instead.

You guys really need to use Microsoft Rewards. When you use it properly, you won't ever have to pay for Ultimate ever again (or at least it'll cover a good part of a year).

Nope. It is a one time deal. Think it is gamertag based though.

Microsoft Rewards is a way for you to earn FREE points, which you can use to purchase stuff from Microsoft, including GamePass Ultimate.

Here are some ways to earn points: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/rewards?rtc=1

You can also complete various activities on your Xbox, like earn an Achievement for some points.

Those points accumulate fairly quickly, especially if you take advantage of every daily activity. The Microsoft Rewards subreddit is really great for more info: https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftRewards/

I was one weekly quest away from the 1000 points last month, so gutted.

Forgot I've had an account on this. FWIW, I don't see Game Pass Ultimate as a redeemable option. Got a link?

How strange... I don't see it there anymore. It was there as a Hot Deal recently. I'm sure it'll come back. In the alternative, I think you can just get an Xbox gift card and use that to buy Ultimate.

It dropped off on May 1st, and that has happened before. I think in fact it might have been after it was a hot deal last time. It'll be back almost certainly in another month or two and I just keep stacking up points and then add 3 more months when it's a hot deal.

Had to get a vpn app for my phone to get bing search points, apparently search points don't work in Sweden, other quest etc works though but I can get about 250 points a day by just searching so that'll prob get me game pass when stacked up with the other quests.

Careful with that method - I've read using a VPN could get you banned.
 
i got a month free of ultimate pass (actually 2 months, since enabling auto-renewal gets you another month)

this rewards system is awesome
