    Hi Alan Dobb

    Thanks for the thoughtful question, and I’m glad you're looking into ways to save. I understand you're interested in possible discounts for Microsoft 365, especially for seniors or veterans, and I’m sure many others are curious about this too.

    As of now, Microsoft does not offer a specific senior discount for Microsoft 365 or other Microsoft products. However, seniors might still benefit from educational discounts if enrolled in or affiliated with a recognized academic institution, as well as seasonal promotions or bundled offers available from time to time on the Microsoft Store

    For veterans, active-duty service members, or military families, there are some great options available: 

    The Microsoft 365 Military Appreciation Edition offers the full Family subscription at about $69.99/year (a 30% discount). It includes premium Office apps, 1 TB OneDrive per user (up to 6 users), and extra security features. You can purchase this through authorized U.S. military exchanges like AAFES, NEX, MCX, or CGX. You can also learn more or shop at the Microsoft Military Store

    In addition, Microsoft provides 10% off select devices and accessories to active, former, and retired military personnel and their families through the Military Store. Note that this discount doesn’t apply to Microsoft 365 subscriptions. 

    Finally, if you work for a participating organization, you might qualify for up to 30% off Microsoft 365 Personal or Family through Microsoft’s Workplace Discount Program. You can check eligibility with your work email on Microsoft’s site. 

    I hope the details provided will assist you effectively.

    Why are we constantly receiving less and less when we renew. I don't want to struggle learning features that I don't need or use. My favorite edition was Office 2000. Much easier to use and with more features and easy to read menus instead of searching for the icons. Microsoft is removing Publisher which is an excellent program. Is there anyway to keep my existing version? I am a struggling senior citizen on a fixed income (poverty level) and have Office 365 personal due for renewal for $100. Surely Microsoft could officer a discount. Most of the upgrades do nothing to improve the program. Microsoft are is rearranging things and adding nothing of value new. Before retiring I was Microsoft Office certified 5 times. I don't want to relearn a program that adds nothing more creative or useful. Please do better.

    It appears Military Exchanges are no longer offering Microsoft 365 subscriptions online or in-store. It would be great if Microsoft could just use ID.me to verify our status so we could purchase directly and do a direct download rather than have to be mailed a code from the Exchange.
