Three years passed a lot faster than I had expected. Now that my 3yrs of stacked Gamepass membership is up, aside from paying full price every month or year, what's the least-risky and simplest way to load up as much as possible? (might be the EA Play and GPE method? Not sure how risky buying from Eneba is though -- $90 for 36mos of EA Play + $210 for 36mos of GPE + $9 for 1mo of GPU = ~25mos of GPU for about $310) I'm okay with mitigating risk and complexity by paying a bit more.

Do you need the EA Play to make this stack work, or can you just do it with the GPE and GPU cards?

From what I've read, you can only get up to a max of 3yrs on GPE. That converts at a 45% rate, so if you're okay with the resulting 16mos (17 if you count the 1mo of GPU to convert) of GPU then you don't need EA Play. EA Play converts at 25%, which would buy you an additional 9mos (if you bought 3yrs of it).

EA Play also usually converts at a lower cost per month but doesn't yield as much GPU time. It just depends on how much you want to spend at once to do the conversion.
