Right now one of Amazon's daily deals includes a year subscription to Microsoft 365 Family and a $50 Amazon gift card (opens in new tab) for a grand total of $99.99. The Microsoft 365 Family plan is $99.99 by itself when purchased elsewhere like through Microsoft (opens in new tab), so you're basically getting a free $50 gift card with this deal. Plus all the full benefits of one of Microsoft 365's best plans.
When you order this, the $50 Amazon gift card will be delivered to you via mail. It comes in a small envelope. This is so if you want to give it away or gift it to a friend you can. They can use the code to add the funds to their own account. If not, just use it yourself. Either way, the card has no fees and no expiration date. The money is added right to your (or your friend's) Amazon account so you can buy more stuff.
The payment for Microsoft 365 will cover you for a full 12 months. After that, it will auto-renew. You'll want to decide for yourself whether to keep the subscription going or to cancel it. You can stop the auto renewal at any time and still keep the time you paid for.
Microsoft 365 Family is a large plan that covers up to six different people. You can use it on multiple computers and mobile devices, including both PC and Mac. Download the apps on your tablet or Android smartphone, too. The subscription covers access to all of Microsoft 365's premium apps like Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and more. You also get 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage per person on your plan for up to 6TB total.
