On 07/04/20 I purchased this item as advertised by Amazon uk ' Xbox Live 12 Month Gold Membership | Xbox One/360 | Xbox Live Download Code' This is not what you are getting!
Do not buy this item! You will not get what you purchased! When you try to redeem your code for 12months of xbox live you will be told that you are not getting 12months of xbox live, because your code is going to be converted by MS to 4months of game pass ultimate!! You have been warned

Okay. So my intial reaction was to want to warn people that there was a problem with this item, and look into the details afterwards.
Here's some information that may help. The purchase from Amazon is perfectly legitimate, in that the code is indeed for 12 Month's of xbox live. Apologies to Amazon for and suggestion to the contrary. The problem exists with MS - No surprise there! This is basically how it works. If you have a current Gamepass ultimate subscription, then you will not be able to purchase or add an additional Xbox live only subscription on your console - Your console will prevent this. However, if like me you purchase more Xbox live from Amazon and then try to extend your current Xbox live, You will be told by MS that your newly purchased 12 months of Xbox live will automatically be converted into a paltry 4Months of additional Gamepass ultimate. Now, if you don't particulary care about game pass - After all It just consists of a few MS AAA titles and the rest are old or mediocre games- then you will certainly not want to lose 8Months of live for 4Months of Game pass. Here's the advice I received; If you want to redeem your code as a full 12months Xbox live rather then convert it to a measley 4 months of games pass, you must not use your new code until your current subscription of gamepass expires. I cannot confirm this as yet, because I still have several months of Gamepass remaining. Hope this helps with any confusion.
