Key Card (Shipped or picked up in a store, as long as it doesn't say anything about new subscribers) = Can renew existing subscription or start a new one.
Digital Download / emailed Key = Only for new subscribers (but you can create a new account and log your existing file into that account).
This is the same for every deal from every retailer. This rule is set by Quicken and as of about a year ago is enforced.

I did too. It's owned by private equity and they've slowly increased the subscription price. Have you ever heard of ensh*tification?
FWIW, Staples price via that link is $45.59.
The price was $41.93 during the holidays last year so this is slightly more.

Overall, not the best price, but it is at the moment, as my subscription expired last week.
Wish Newegg still carried it and had those sales a couple times a year.
I need the Business & Personal subscription, and Staples doesn't have it in stock anywhere. Walmart has only the new subscriber version.
Crazy that it has to be a physical item sold through a retail store just to get the renewal code, to avoid paying double the price directly to quicken.
