How a savvy Office Watch reader really saved with Office 365

A few days ago we told you about a very good deal at Argos in the UK, half-price Office 365 Home.  One couple has taken advantage of our tip, and other suggestions from Office-Watch, to get two years of Office 365 for the price of one.

One of our readers saw our Office 365 Home deal  tip and bought two ₤40 Argos gift cards for her husband’s birthday.

The birthday boy, Brian C, already has Office 365 Home expiring in seven months.  He bought two of the ₤39.99 Office 365 Home deals then applied both product keys to his account.

Now his Office 365 plan lasts until May 2022!!!

As Brian said:

What a find! Recommend this to all your readers. Half price software that works – fill yer boots”

Brian and his generous wife took advantage of some ongoing Office-Watch tips for saving on Office 365.
