Office 365 subscription cost can be reduced.

If you're using Office 365 your subscription will come up for renewal. A while ago I shared with Windows you can delay the renewal for up to 30 days and continue to use Office. That gives you an extra month. Mac users however have their subscription expire on the anniversary.

Another way to save money is not to pay using the link provided by Microsoft for your Office 365 subscription renewal. For example, for Office 365 Home users the renewal cost is $119. When you get the renewal you can shop around and purchase a new licence for Office 365 and save some money. For example Officeworks are selling Office 365 Home for $96 at the moment. You do need enter a new licence but that doesn't cause any problem. Now you can potentially saved $23.

But wait, as they say there's more. At the moment some retailers are advertising a Microsoft cash back of $20. Keep in mind the promotion is by Microsoft and not from the retailer, so what you pay at the retailer doesn't change the offer. That means if you purchase a copy at Officeworks (or an even cheaper retailer), you get the cheaper price plus you can currently get another $20 off. That's potentially a total saving of $43 or 36%, or more if you find a cheaper price.

The Microsoft offer can be found at https://officecashback.azurewebsites.net. The cash back offer is for purchases from the 20th of May to the 30th of June 2016. The offer is for a range of Office software and not just Office 365 Home.
