so can you redeem this without keeping auto-renewal on? When I stick it into the Xbox App i'm given a toggle to "Turn on Recurring Payments to get One Month Free", but is that just a standard option when signing up for Game Pass on PC?

Yeah, you don't have to have recurring payments set up.

But you'll get an extra month free if you do, and you can always cancel before October 20th.

Nice. This added a free month to the $6/3 month thing that came up a few days ago for PC Game Pass.

The guy in the office next to me is just making account after account using some temp email site. I guess I should have expected that - they really didn't put in a 'one code per account' thing?

I try to verify my account from the email and I just get a "page not found" error after clicking the button.

What a fucking mess. I keep trying to make an account, then after I get the activation email, it keeps crashing. Then I click the activation link again and it says the page doesn't exist.

The hoops I had to jump through to get this to work.

Created an account on Edge, but "creating" an account doesn't actually create a useable account.
Then I had to activate my account, but Edge wouldn't work, so I did that on Firefox.
Then the website died on Firefox, and I had to finish filling out information on Chrome.

Got a key. Unfortunately, this whole PC game pass thing is the most broken thing I remember dealing with in a while. It's terrible:
  • First, the installer for the app just froze if I didn't run it in administrator mode, but that's easy enough to deal with.
  • After installing the app it was entirely in Arabic, with no visible option for changing the language. Apparently, the only way to fix this is to change the display language for the entire OS.
  • This also changed my date and time settings to the silly American version, so I needed to fix that as well.
  • After that, logging in just straight up didn't work. Googling around gives some bizarre suggestions (install this random app! reinstall some other app! Fuck it, just reinstall 130 random apps and hope things work!) but what finally worked was signing in using the Xbox game bar first.
  • After this I was actually able to start downloading a game but now my Xbox app is just a permanent black screen. I fixed this by "resetting" the app.
I don't understand how this entire thing can be so terribly broken but it seems to be working now, so yay for free stuff.

Yup! Got 20 extra days on my subscription as well. Took a while, and creating an account was a pain (verify account link didn't work, but "I forgot my password" allowed me to finish my registration!), but it was worth it.

OP, thanks!

So when I tried it in Chrome, I could create the account, but I never got the "Get Key" button to appear. Once I switched to Edge, it worked and said it had 3200 or so keys left.

Does this means free Gears 5 or am I missing something?

I entered the code and leave the auto-renewal option on and it gave me 2 months of Xbox Game Pass for PC, I'm not much into Gears multiplayer but I'm a big fan of it's singleplayer and horde mode, being able to play it for free during this crowded schedule is a blessing, I guess.

Okay cool. Finally got it to work and got my free month. I hope the discounted subs are still available once this expires.

I'm loving all these deals on Game Pass! I haven't paid full price yet.

Some may see this as bad juju, but I was able to create two accounts and get an extra 40 days with two codes. I'll stop there to give everyone else a chance.

Gamepass has changed my PC gaming so much! I've played so many different game since I got it. Canceled Humble since I was getting so much access to games. Loving the service, and I hope it expands greatly!

I managed to get a month out of it, thank you for the information!

I hope they have more interesting giveaways in the future, I don't think there's a way yet to delete your account once you've made it.
