I'm new to this, can this be used to extend an existing subscription? If so, how many years can you build up? Thanks!
e: Judging by comments in the other thread, looks like the answers are yes and 5 years

A personal key added to an already existing Family account will get you 9 months of Family.
So, $30.00 / 9 = $3.33 per month when converted to family
Actual numbers, since I just bought 1 to top off my account. With tax it is $31.97 - so $3.55 a month
On a per monthly basis, you would have to find a year of Family at $42.62 to match this cost per month.

I have Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2021 and I have an annual subscription of Microsoft 365 Basic costing $20 a year therefore (I assume) the only advantage of this would be more recent versions of Office for a year. Is there anything more I would get?

Does it matter where you purchased your existing plan?
My current sub was purchased at Amazon and would renew through them. Could I purchase this and use it to extend my family plan or would it not work because it's via amazon and not MS directly?

This link provided the instructions on how to add the Personal 365 code to my exisiting Family subscription, and it worked!!
I purchased the HP Personal 365 code a few weeks ago and was unable to add it to my Family account like I have in the past. I chatted with Microsoft and was told you could no longer extend the Family subscription (prorated) using a Personal code. The work around in the above link works! Just did it a couple of minutes ago.

I mean there is that minor detail about getting 10 times the onedrive storage (100GB vs 1TB).
You can easily setup folder direction on 365 personal accounts too now, so it's a pretty good, simple (complicated backups often tend to not fully work) and inexpensive backup method for the Windows client masses.

I thought MS 365 Basic only works on web and phone apps, not desktop. You're able to use your desktop version of Office with Basic and sync across all devices?

In your case, no.

But if you poke around, there are other threads, the Newegg deal and conversion discussion used to pop up somewhat regularly.

I did that, it moved my subscription out of Amazons control which made me happy.

I purchased it several hours ago and haven't received a key yet, so I'm assuming it's a physical card like the last time this deal ran.

Did you just sign up and receive the $20 coupon, or was there a pop up / ad somewhere on the site ? I'm not seeing the offer…
