I just logged onto my OneDrive account to check my storage and was about to upgrade as I was near my limit. On the page I spotted an offer for 1 year free Office 365 with 1TB OneDrive storage. Offer terms are:
Offer valid for a free one year subscription of Office 365 Personal. Must redeem by August 15th, 2016. Payment instrument required and will be automatically charged the then-current subscription price after one year unless you cancel your subscription at www.office.com/myaccount. Valid only if you are an original recipient of this offer; are a OneDrive free plan subscriber without an existing paid OneDrive, Office 365 or Groove Music subscription, have over 5 GB of content stored on OneDrive and are not already using more than your storage allotment as of January 15th, 2016. Offer must be redeemed via the Microsoft Store online. Limit of one per person/Microsoft account; must use the account associated with your OneDrive subscription. May not be redeemed by or transferred to another customer, or combined with other offers. Violation of these terms may result in cancellation of your Office 365 subscription. Not valid on prior orders or purchases; may not be redeemed for cash or gift cards. Offer not valid in Japan, China, Hong Kong and countries where Office 365 Personal and/or OneDrive is not available. Microsoft reserves the right to modify or discontinue the offer at any time.
So it seems like you can't hold an existing subscription and have 5GB of data stored on OneDrive. Card details are taken, I assume this is for the following year. A few clicks and it is all activated.
To get to it - I logged into onedrive.com > bottom left 'Upgrade' > If eligible you should see the offer on that page.
EDIT:
"You can turn off auto renew in https://account.microsoft.com/services
And for those who want to renew, cancel the auto renewal and this pops up
"Turn on automatic renewal and get an extra month free." :)"

Yeah! I logged in, pretended I wanted to upgrade, and there was the offer! Not advertised or promoted at all!
awesome, cheers op!
p.s. you can use paypal
p.p.s Office.com/myaccount to unsubscribe apparently, presumably can be done immediately so you dont forget in 354 days time (not tried yet though)

I've put a reminder in my Google Calendar - though even if I pay full price next year, it's like 2 years at half price. £30 per year for a full office subscription with 1TB cloud storage is still very cheap.

Thanks, the offer was in my drive as well, Paypal option selected but I expect I will be able to bag a home licence in the next year for a good price.

What's the benefit of a 365 subscription over my current version of Office 2010?

You will always get the latest version of office when it is released. So let's sat a new major version is released next month, you would get the latest version to download under the subscription.

Hmm that you give those **** money for every year of using it instead of paying once like you should for something like that? :man:

It's a good question. For someone totally happy with Office 2010 (actually 2011 on OSX) I'm not compelled to upgrade - even for free! :smiley:

the terms .....This offer entitles you to Office 365 Personal for 12 months, charged to your payment instrument immediately. At the end of the 12-month period, this offer will renew and you will be charged the then-current price (prices subject to change), unless you cancel before the renewal date. You can manage your subscription at Office.com/myaccount.

Unfortunately not for me, even though I meet all of the requirements.
