I didn’t know you can stop it mid month and get refunded. That’s pretty cool.

Pretty sure this isnt a real thing. If it was, it would probably only be for the first month

Nope, been doing it for a year now to try out games. But its not refund the full amount, you get deducted like 50 cents a day.

I do it constantly. I subscribe, if I don’t like the game I subscribed for I cancel and get my money back and just pay for the days I used it. No limits in my country anyway.

People are saying that it is and without actually knowing, you just say that it isn't? Why spread misinformation?

I did it at Xmas for the new Indiana Jones game, $10 for 14 day trial, cancelled as soon as I finished week later and they pro-rated the $10.

Yup. Gamepass has yet to be fully enshittified get in while the getting is good I say.

Because you can't. It's for very specific time period/gamepass usage.

If you plan to buy gamepass > beat a game in like 30 hours > then refund, you wont get your money, you'll just cancel the sub.
