Customers are saying

Customers love the Xbox Live 12 Month Gold Membership for its value, ease of use, and quick code delivery. Many appreciate the straightforward redemption process and the length of the subscription. A small number of customers noted that the membership does not automatically convert to an equivalent Game Pass subscription. Overall, the positive feedback on price and ease of use outweighs the concerns about Game Pass conversion.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    Xbox Live

    The biggest reason to buy prepaid Xbox Live card is the renewal process that happens when you don't use one. If you order X-Box Live through your system, it'll renew every time your subscription runs out. This wouldn't be a problem except that it's not that easy to cancel. Instead of canceling through your system, you have to go through the hassle of actually calling X-Box Live support. Even then, depending on the representative you get, you may be hassled to keep your subscription because they really don't want you to cancel it. I'm guessing that's part of their job to convince you to keep it, but it still is frustrating to the person that is trying to cancel it.

    Better get these before they disappear. They are suppose to do away with the year memberships. Better get them while they still exist.

    The online code option for Xbox Gold 12 months, is very easy. The only requirement is that you have a Best Buy account, you buy it and it shows up in your email an hour later. Very easy!

    Being 10 dollars more than PS+, and having less "free" content; not quite as good of a deal, but is a must to get the most out of the XB one system.

    This is a better option rather than paying a monthly price which is more expensive.

    This code works as advertised. Used it as a new subscriber to Game Pass Ultimate to stack three years of the cheaper Xbox Live Gold ($59 per year for an average of $5 a month) and converted it 1:1 to Game Pass Ultimate ($14.99 a month normally). Trick only works if you've never had a Game Pass Ultimate subscription and whether is still works or not you'll have to check for yourself. Great thread on reddit on how to do it if interested in the details.

    The XBL service has always been great, but now that they provide free games for both Xbox 360 and Xbox One, it's hard not to keep your membership status gold and enjoy playing games with friends online.

    Good deal on Xbox live card. I didn’t know you could do it on a 1 month basis and that helped out when money is low.
