    Useless offline...

    Give me the disk back. This download option is useless when I work offline most all the time and the blasted program constantly wants to verify itself, locking me out of the functionality of the program until I reconnect to the internet. I purchased the key, so let me work without having to be online to do so. Useless waste of money. Better to work with Shareware, at least it doesn't constantly lock me out of the program. I'd return it, but I've been trying to make it work somehow for too long. Save your money and use a safe Shareware version instead of this.

    Bad Business Practices

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am not commenting on the quality of the product itself but the way of doing business of both Microsoft and Best Buy. The move to continued payment via subscription vs ownership and no disk is unacceptable. The same for the policy of forcing automatic renewal and credit card charges without explicit consent unless you go through hoops to get it changed.

    Microsoft 365 does what its supposed to and offers you there office products. The yearly subscriptions, and keeping everything on the cloud I hate.

    Worst Bestbuy Purchase Ever

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought this product and returned it within the 15 day deadline. Firstly the return was denied by the bestbuy store although the package was unopened/unscratched. Then was asked to return it by mail by paying the mailing fee. Still didn't hear back from Geeksquad/Bestbuy even after 10 days from the day item was received. Called the customer services regarding my problem, and they put me on hold an hour. Still haven't heard back.

    Cancel Auto-renew?

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased as a gift w/ laptop for mom in 2018, who never used it. My only issue with O365 is how to cancel. Much easier to find how to leave a review than to cancel the auto subscription. Not showing in my account so left to calling the provided phone number.

    Beware of the 12-month auto-renewal subscription

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The software works fine but remember that when you buy this software, it comes with an auto-renewal, which is not something you are told in the store. Therefore, after 12-months, it will be renewed at the full price. Also keep in mind that it's not easy to stop the auto-renewal.

    DOES NOT WORK

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My bad, I should have read the reviews, I tried to install this morning and the key code does not work - message says it was not activated. Now I read the reviews and see this is a common problem when buying from Best Buy - DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. Now I have to go to the trouble of returning to the store, 30 miles away. Thanks so much.

    Invalid product key

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The product key on the Office 365 Personal Subscription card did not work. I contacted Microsoft tech support, who said that the seller (Best Buy) failed to activate it. Trying to figure out how to get this taken care of without having to drive to a Best Buy store. This has already been a big waste of my time!

    Product doesn’t work well after subscription renew

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Product does not work well if you have an existing Microsoft account. Best Buy does not offer adequate or effective support. If you want Microsoft, much better to buy directly.

    Does not install

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought it. Downloaded it. And it keeps stalling at 90% install. The online support person could not get it to work and now the level 2 tech person can not get it to work. I am wasting hours on something that used to come on a CD or pre installed. What will happen when it runs out in a year?

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Why does Best Buy continue to sell these when they know they won’t work!!!! The scratch off code gives an “inactive” error. No refunds given by Best Buy and no help from Microsoft! I thought I was getting a good deal, but threw away $49.99!

    Over priced

    I used this once and by the time I needed it again it was expired. This basic software shouldn't expire, every computer sold used to come with it for free. Highway robbery!

    It is very difficult to use, I don't like paying for it monthly. I would rather have the CD and use the product forever. It is a ripoff
