Hello, found this while putting tickets up today at work today.
Seems like a good price. Office works are selling the same thing for $137.
It is a download card. Should be heaps in stores, pc and Mac.
Hope this is helpful to someone.
Enjoy.
Yes I know its 365, not full blown office.
Office 365 has more applications than this deal…

Office 365 should also give you Office 2013 or 2016 to install on your PC or Mac.
The 365 costs $99 per year (as of today). This deal is the full version of the programs = yours & stays on the PC, no time limit/subscription.
I know M$ wants everyone on a subscription = they make money whether you use the other programs or not.
It all depends on what you actually use/need:
Word, Excel, Powerpoint = the "heavy-hitters". This is available via both.
365 = you also get: Access (databases), Outlook mail (if you need it = you have old Outlook & are upgrading, otherwise, you don't need it).
Publisher = You routinely create flyers, etc…
The point being that the things offered in 365 are available in free, 2rd-party programs & should NOT sway decision between the 365 vs. this deal— It's $99 vs. whatever M$ decides to charge for a subscription.
Imho- & try to take it that way, ok?
Cheers
365 also includes a terabyte of cloud storage, which if you need, makes it a really good deal.
And M$, really…
Dont Cashrewards have 7.5% off bigw cards?
Too bad they're all digital downloads and require a Microsoft account to activate. A nightmare when you have to activate a large amount which aren't VL.
"Home and Student"
Home & Business, Professional and Professional Plus require a MS account too. What's your point?
I think I was being a little bitch yesterday, your point is valid and I think its a real pain in the arse.
Good deal.
I refuse to buy a subscription for Word and Excel.
If you're a UNI student you can get it for $99 for 4 years. 2 Macs, PCs, 1 Smart Phone, 1 Tablet and 60 Mins Skype free every month + Office 365 + 1 TB One Drive
If you're a Uni student you can get Office 365 for free, 5 devices for the life of your course
Not necessarily all Unis though
Search at http://onthehub.com/search/higher-ed/ to see if you're eligible. Not all universities are MSDNAA members.
Don't university students get 5-finger discount?
Heaps of stock at Macquarie Park.
Don't bother going to Top Ryde (no stock), Auburn and Merrylands (no stock - lady over the phone can't be bothered looking for it).
Speaking of student version, many universities offer student and alumni free office 365. Look up some of the threads on Oz bargain explaining how to go about getting these.
