Just trying to be helpful - Office/Microsoft 365 Annual Subscription Trick

dlockers · 12 Feb 2023 at 19:25

I had my renewal through for my family account; £79.99 for 1 year. I recalled I did a "dodgy" to get it for cheaper last year, and a quick Outlook search revealed I was right, and had only paid £55 through GroupOn. I've just ordered another key from Blue Nandu (looked sketchy AF but the reviews are great) - renewed for £49.99.

Think you can do this for any programs if you search for the key to buy online.

I think I can say this since OC don't supply 365 subscriptions:

There was a massively helpful guy on here who helped me for a couple of years with a friends and family link that got me the years subscription for something ridiculous like £15. But he selfishly stopped working for Microsoft just before my latest renewal.

Anyway, I found a years subscription with a free additional 3 months on Currys for £60. It's not a permanent offer, but I've seen it pop up a couple of times since then. And you don't have to wait until you need it either, if you buy it and activate it, it adds to your current time.

So anyway, backing up your suggestion that it's worth looking around for a deal.

I paid £19 for Office 2019 Professional Plus. So 1/3 the price and no subscription faff.

Just track the argos office deals on HUKD, they come up £49.99 semi regularly and you can stack or wait to get free months and then resub using the code. Also free mcafee which one can sell for a tenner if one cares, bringing the cost down even lower.

I mainly do Microsoft 365 for the terabytes of cloud storage. It means I can back up all of my families gear and not worry if their devices grenade.

Fair shout

Could have fooled me. I put my free McAfee copy up for sale on here and one facebook marketplace months ago for a tenner and no one has bit.

Hmm best off with selling to normies, I think I did ebay a year/2 ago, I've heard rumblings about them not allowing key sales anymore but I imagine it still happens/you can get away with it.
