Update 12/27/21: This deal that we’ve seen in previous years is back again (it seems to come around each December). What used to be known as Microsoft Office 365 is now branded as Microsoft 365 family, but it is still a 6-user subscription to the office suite bundled with a $50 Amazon Gift Card for $99.99

The thing to know about the deal is that based on what I’ve read at Slickdeals, it sounds like activating this subscription will move your subscription to being managed by Amazon rather than managed by Microsoft (assuming you had previously subscribed through Microsoft). Some commenters at Doctor of Credit have suggested that activating the Amazon-purchased subscription replaces your current Microsoft subscription and you may lose remaining time, though I read multiple reports at Slickdeals saying that the Amazon subscription added to their subscription end date, so I’m really not sure. Best to read through the pages of comments at Slickdeals yourself if you are concerned.

Keep in mind that Amazon will auto-renew your subscription unless you turn that feature off (which I recommend doing because this deal comes around once or twice a year and you should be able to extend your subscription with it without paying full price). Original post follows.

Update 12/4/19: This popular deal is back again. We’ve seen it a couple of times previously. As noted below, you can buy this deal and redeem the code to extend your Office 365 subscription by a year.

Update 7/19: This deal is back again. We’ve added this to our running list of Prime Day deals.

Amazon is offering a Microsoft Office Family 365 Home subscription (6-user subscription) for $99 and get a $50 Amazon gift card. While $99 is the regular price for Office 365, the $50 gift card makes this a solid deal for anyone who normally pays for a subscription. Note that the last time this deal came around, it sold out pretty quickly and later came in and out of stock, so if you don’t see it available the first time it might be worth checking back.

Quick Thoughts

We’ve seen Office 365 go on sale for $60 now and then and even $55 at one point, but those sales don’t come around all that often. Getting the $50 Amazon gift card bundled makes this an excellent deal for those who value the gift card close to its cash value. Of course, I wouldn’t recommend buying this if you wouldn’t ordinarily pay for this — and with the utility of Google Docs, I imagine most casual users may no longer have a need for an annual paid Office subscription. However, for those of us who need Office for one reason or another, this is a good deal on the subscription.

Keep in mind that you will not be able to pay with an Amazon gift card since an Amazon gift card is included in the deal.
