Signing up for a year of Microsoft 365 Family gets you a free $50 Amazon gift card

Get $50 for free: As of Dec. 27, Microsoft 365 Family 12-month subscriptions (the auto-renewal version) come with a free $50 Amazon gift card.

Anyone who ferociously unboxed a new laptop or tablet over the holiday is now faced with the less-fun task of setting it up.

Arming your device with Microsoft apps is probably a familiar route — and for a limited time, one that'll get you a free $50 gift card from Amazon. Signing up for a 12-month auto-renewing subscription of Microsoft 365 Family at Amazon tacks a free $50 gift card to your purchase, which will arrive by mail in a cute mini envelope.

Note that the regular yearly price of Microsoft 365 Family is $99.99, not the $149.99 crossed out in the listing. (That price reflects the total if you paid for the gift card, I guess.) Technically, once you use that $50 to cover, say, the iconic Microsoft Arc Mouse, it's an indirect 50% savings on the yearly subscription.

Previously called Office 365 Home, the Family subscription gives up to six people access to premium Office apps like Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, 1 TB of cloud storage each, and advanced security for all of their devices. Members can share and save files and photos across devices with OneDrive and chat with coworkers through Teams, while parents can keep tabs on a kid's location through Microsoft Family Safety.
