Game Pass for $0.05 per day ($18.25/year) Glitch? (UP: No longer works)

Huh, so they wouldn't be charging me until 2022 anyway, but I can't turn off recurring billing. Contacted support and they couldn't either. Now they're "looking into it". Well, I'm sure it will be resolved in the next two years anyway!
This post has me in tears.
Crazy it last as long as it did haha
I'm assuming they mean they're gonna send a message to your XBL chat.
Tried it currently, but don't see the option myself. I took advantage of the conversion from gold to Ultimate deal that was shared in another thread last year though. Not sure if that factors in for me or not.
As part of this whole thing they turned my recurring billing back on and I'm unable to turn if off. I contacted MS yesterday and they told me to try again in 3-5 business days. Anyone able to successfully "re-disable" recurring billing?
Yeah i've been trying to do this for the past week and still no goAs part of this whole thing they turned my recurring billing back on and I'm unable to turn if off.

EDIT: i went into my microsoft account online and there was a new notice that said my gamepass ultimate sub has expired so i was able to click renew and update my sub to what i wanted.
Mine finally updated saying that my Gamepass subscription has expired. It's over but they didn't try and charge anything extra so I'm good with it. I'll finish My Friend Pedro some other time lol.
I am in the same boat. Recurring billing is on. My sub renews on February 21, 2020 and I don't want it renewed. Get an error when I try to cancel, change the plan, or change payment method.
Yeah so now game pass is expired for me and I can't even modify the subscription on either my console or the website. This is totally messed up.
I mean sure I'll take a free month but I just want to be able to change my subscription myself lol
Okay mine says cancelled/ expired as well but is still working and downloading games. We need some answers for this ASAP.
Well, the rep was just able to turn off recurring billing for me, which was nice. It was a beautiful dream, but too good for this world.
It has now been over a week and I still can't disable recurring billing (despite initially having it OFF and MS switching it ON). I have now been escalated from an "Xbox Gamer" (literally nothing more useless on earth), to "tech support" to whatever is higher than "tech support." It's really fun trying to pick back up dangling threads in Microsoft's nightmare CS system, too, filled with Cortana-powered AI bots and stupid animations. Sigh.
Darn, was looking to take advantage of this deal when my Live sub expires in February. Ah well.
This glitch reminds me of the famous 1 month free glitch back in my 360 days, I had gold for almost two years for free because of some microsoft site glitch where it would give 1 month of xbox live gold for free....until some dumbass decided it would be smart to share that "deal" on slickdeals and it got immediately shut down by microsoft lol
Might have to do with the fact my promo period of GamePass is still going with the auto-renew set on March 2nd, but my page still shows blank, and my games still open fine.
I was finally able to turn off recurring billing. I went to the account page and it said it was off but then it turned it self on at $14.99. It at least let me turn it back off. kind if bummed I never got to use the deal since I am maxed out at 3 years already, but it was worth a shot.
Confirmed, GP Ultimate is now listed under cancelled subscriptions on the manage page. The dream is fully dead.
Just randomly checked my account and recurring billing was set to off. The, literally like 10th MS rep I spoke to last week said he'd email when the problem was resolved; he didn't. If you were stuck with MS turning your recurring billing ON while being unable to disable, check again.
Just got a message from Xbox letting me know that my plan was reverted back to monthly. They did give me a code for 14 days of GPU though.
Got a message on XBL today saying that the daily subscription was no longer available. They send a 14 day GPU code for my troubles.
Yep, especially considering you can accept the offer and then immediately disable recurring billing and keep the bonus month.
I kinda skimmed through it and instinctively turned off recurring billing when redeeming the 14-day code..... shit.
D'oh. As I said above, all you needed to do is say yes and keep that slider enabled. Afterwards you could go right back to your subscription, manage it, disable, and you'd still get the bonus.
Ditto, man Microsoft has been mighty generous with giving people chances at having gamepass ultimate for free/stupidly cheap for a while
