Unlink Microsoft Game Pass

Deltasurfer79 — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 19:37:26 GMT

About 12 months ago I took out a BB and TV package and as part of that deal I got 1 year of XBox gamepass ultimate. The price was too high for me to continue with after the free 12 months so I stopped the auto renewal and it expired at the start of July. My microsoft account still says Managed By BT. After spending 2 hours via online chat, being offered packages and wrong contractual statements I was told to call the value team. I then spoke to 3 different people and one said they would get someone to fix it….they didn’t. I got an email saying that I did not “purchase” gamepass and that they could not help….technically I didn't purchase it, I got it free from BT and I resent the insinuation they made that I bought the code from a dodgy website….which I didn’t.

I don't know if this issue is because my BT account email, is different from my Microsoft account.

If someone can get this matter sorted I will be extremely grateful and consider this matter settled otherwise I am going to have to raise an official complain, which I don’t want to do.

Thanks

Hi @Deltasurfer79, sorry your Xbox account is locked to BT. If you haven't done so try adding a new pass as that usually triggers the release.
If that doesn't work I've sent you a Private Message so you can get back to us and we'll get this raised to the Xbox team for you.

Cheers

John

So it worked….in the end..I shall explain.

So when I added in Gamepass Ultimate 12 months ago I had gold/core already and it converted some of that time from core to extra ultimate, however as the account just says “managed by BT” it was not possible to see this.

I bought a code for 12 months core and then tried to add it to my account from the xbox and it failed, I then tried to add it to my account via the website and only then got the message that I had extra ultimate and then converted my core to ultimate, I didn't get a great conversion rate from core to ultimate but it the unlinked from BT.

Thanks for all the support.
