"12 Month Subscription + 3 FREE Months with Auto Renewal up to 6 people". Do I need to enable auto renewal to receive the extra 3 month?
"You'll be charged $63.19 (plus applicable taxes) by Newegg today for the first 15 months of your Microsoft 365 Family subscription. Activate your subscription at Microsoft365.com/setup. Beginning from the date you activate your subscription, Newegg (acting as an agent of Microsoft Corporation) will automatically charge your payment card $79.99 (plus applicable taxes) every 12 months to continue your subscription. Microsoft Corporation will notify you prior to each renewal, as well as before any price changes. To stop future charges, turn recurring billing off at any time by going to the Services & Subscriptions tab in your Microsoft account (account.microsoft.com). By checking out, you agree to the Automatic Renewal Terms."
Mine was expiring on 8/20, and I was already offered 1 Month free by Microsoft to turn on auto-renewal, so YMMV.
But after entering the code from NewEgg, it gave me a 15 month extension, again with the option (when confirming adding the code to my account) of 1 month free for turning on auto-renewal.
I declined, and there is no indication of an auto-renewal on my Microsoft account, and nothing under "Subscription Orders" on Newegg.
This is better than the 65 for 12-month Microsoft 365 bundle posted on the other, more popular, thread. Thanks, OP. Got one.
Odd that I was not even asked if I wanted to accept recurring billing or not, it was not turned on automatically either. My subscription got extended 15 months anyway. I hope they don't secretly turn it on a few months later.
An additional benefit of buying a bundle from Newegg is that I don't pay tax for the order. When I ordered a 365 only deal from Walmart in the past, I had to pay tax. Not sure why (although Microsoft 365 is considered as a SaaS - software as a service - and is taxable in many states).
Finally, the code for NordVPN can be used to extend an existing subscription. (This might be a common knowledge but I didn't know it until today).

Can I add buy 2 of these and get 30 months, 15 months X 2?
As long as your final expiration date is 5 years or less, yes you can use multiple codes.
Newegg didn't say you can only buy one, so I guess you could. My only concern is that the 15m is supposed to come with an auto renewal, so you might want to cancel auto renewal first before applying the codes again. (Not sure if it is necessary? My code extended my subscription by 15 months without any condition, as far as I could tell.)
As much as I've tried to get away from Office licenses, I bit. This seems like a good enough price, beats what I see for student pricing, especially if I need it for multiple computers.
When buying through Newegg, does Newegg just send you an activation key, so that I can just give it to someone as a gift? And give Nord to someone else?
