Nothing wrong with LibreOffice, if you want LibreOffice.

I have seen several deals for $70 for 15 months of the family version.

The big issue, though, is that if your account is run through amazon you can't add time from other sources.

Just FYI. This wiped my existing MS subscription (for 365 Family) and I lost ~10 months of my current sub. I'm pretty angry. This is the first time I've have had this happen after several years of buying subs.

I wish this comment had been here before I bought. This is terrible. I don't know how to get my old sub back.

EDIT: Can the OP please add this info to the post? It's a pretty big deal.
Update: MS CS reports it adds a year correctly to existing subs.
Update 2: Amazon now shows the correct renewal date as well.

I'm now ok with this deal. Locking in $60/year (assuming that is what happens) is worth it for me to not have to think about it in the future, even if occasionally slightly better deals from other vendors.

Add me to the list of those that got caught in this trap. Once you buy 365 through Amazon you cannot extend your subscription through any other source. You are stuck either renewing through Amazon or having to let the Amazon subscription expire before being able to add a new subscription.
Unless you plan to always purchase 365 from Amazon, I would avoid this. Other deals come up and this one, no matter how good, is just not worth the headaches.

You can add this to a current subscription but just be prepared that once you order through Amazon, there is no turning back. You either renew through Amazon or wait until your subscription expires if you want to extend from another source.
Amazon takes control of your account for renewal purposes and I have yet to hear of a way around this.

Update: I just got off with Microsoft support.
Yes, Amazon manages the sub - but it definitely still just adds a year to the existing subscription (they confirmed this on their end).

It changed the account page appearance because the renewal is being billed through amazon, but according to MS CS it behaves exactly like any other key (i.e. every renewal just adds another year to whatever the original expiry was).

So this isn't a bad deal at all IMO.

EDIT: Microsoft CS was able to tell me the correct expiry date for my sub (which was now 1year 10 months from now).

I lost a month. But the first Q/A on the Amazon site is an answer from Microsoft saying the new subscription is supposed to add to existing. I'm going to reach out to customer service. Good price, though.

For those of you that have the sub managed via Amazon, how do you determine the real expiry date?

as another data point, this has been coming up the last few years around Black Friday for $100 with a $50 Amazon gift card.

I can confirm that once you buy from Amazon, you are semi-locked in with them. I had to return a subscription I bought via Woot a year a two ago as I couldn't add it to my current sub like I could in years past.

As long as these $50-$60 deals keep coming thru Amazon, I'm happy.

Thanks for this. I was about to purchase until I saw your comment.
