Found this reddit thread, seems like if you change your billing plan and select daily, it's $0.05. Probably a glitch but worth a shot

edit: can a mod edit the title to say Game Pass Ultimate?

mine is good til 2022 and i had autorenew off so I figured its worth a shot. If they fix it, I'll just turn it off and wait for a sale

I'm good for another 15 months (stupidly didn't get more during that conversion deal) - let's hope this is there until then!

I had no idea they even had daily billing for it. That's cool though, makes it easier to use it as a game rental service of sorts if you're only interested in playing one thing.

Anyway, I changed mine to daily billing. Doubt they'll honor it though, especially since my current subscription doesn't even end until May 2020.

I see I can buy ultimate for 3 months for only 1 dollar is the same promotion?, incidentally ultimate for 1 month and a month of PC game pass show for a buck as well.

Turned it on. I'm good until November 2022, and I doubt it'll stick till then, but let's see what happens

Sounds like a good way to get your credit card blocked

Guess you could do it using credit

3 months of Ultimate for $1.00, then daily at $.05/day starting 3/7/2020.

Not a chance in hell they honor this.

i was able to do it as well, but yeah no way this isn't updated in the 2.5 years between now and when my current ultimate subscription ends

I am on a gamepass ultimate 3 month trial, can I do this?

That's what I'm on right now, and it let me turn on recurring billing to daily for after the trial expires.

Takes me to my "manage subscriptions" page, then I click "change" under recurring billing, and it then shows monthly, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months 24 months?

I guess this is a US only thing then? I have all of those options plus the daily.

With tax that's roughly around $24 a year. No way in hell MS is honoring that.

I went ahead and signed up for this, as I didn't jump on the deal to purchase a large chunk of gamepass ultimate for cheap in time. I'll see in 8 days whether they honor this price or not I guess...

Got it too, even if is an error maybe they will let us keep that price for a few months.
They won't. It's a simple price error. They added daily billing, and instead of pricing it at $.50/day ($15/month, which is the actual price of Ultimate), someone fucked up their decimals and priced it at $.05.

They'll change it by Monday at the latest. If people moan and bitch about it, Microsoft might throw them a free month as a "Go the fuck away" consolation prize.

3 months/$1.00 is the better deal. Less chance of them being able to rescind that.

Why is daily billing even an option? I doubt $0.50 is worth Credit charges.

Regardless, I signed up.

This is only a great deal if you don't have gamepass already or its expiring soon. You are not locking in a lifetime rate or anything, when I first converted my GWG to gamepass ultimate it told me I could auto renew for $1/mo so I said "hell yeah" but my GPU was good until like June 2022. When I checked a few weeks later it went from $1/mo in June 2022 to $14.99/mo, so they changed the future sub price underneath me without any warning.

So yeah, great if you got nothing right now - sign up for $1 for 3 months I think, then switch to auto renew daily plan for 5/day, but once your initial 3 months is up you'd have to login every day to ensure its still 5c/day and not more. If your GPU is good until 2021+ then its very unlikely you will retain that 5c/day price when auto renew kicks in, and more likely you'll be charged a much higher price.

Not much different than signing up for TV service, mobile, gym, etc at a low introductory discount rate and then quietly the rate goes much higher at the end of a trial period and its all auto billed to your CC so you may not even notice.
