I'm having a hard time figuring out how to stack Office onto my membership. In fact I can't even find where to update my CC in my current account. (I had mine stolen and wanted to update it.) I hate how complicated MS is online. Maybe I'm a moron.

You don't see this under the games menu? I wonder if it's just for me? I thought all the games were shown to invitees too.

You buy codes through my employee store. Then you redeem the codes, just like Xbox. Applies to your msft account.

I don’t see that at all. I would’ve grabbed Starfield if I did. I did grab 2 years of GPU though for the price of 1 year, so still worth it by a lot.

I finally got logged in and figured out how to get purchases. Wow the prices are super low!! So I can get 365 Family for $20/yr with this (it's normally $100 a year) so I'm stacking as many as I can!
I also got Starfield Premium Edition for $45. It was confusing for me to figure out how to install because supposedly my work account has 2 ways to login... one where I have to select "created by my work or IT" and one "created by me" and both have completely different dashboards. I think this was the confusion... and maybe I set up things wrong. But I had no idea how to get to my original subscription for Office even though it's the same "login"
Silly Microsoft... lol.

@longhornsk57 did you sign up with the link that was sent to you? If so just go into the store and go to the Xbox section and then game pass. There's a section in there for Xbox Live subscriptions. Well now they call them Game Pass core.

I did initially, but now I can't find the link or anything. I am trying to see what games have discounts and possibly get some gamepass codes but I don't know if there's like a different store link I am missing etc.

I wonder what I’m doing wrong because the newest thing I see is Minecraft Dungeons I think. That said I’m still eternally grateful I was able to get 2 years of Fancy Game Pass for half price.

Once you login -> Gaming Dropdown -> Xbox Games: https://store.ecompa...
I see Age of Empires, Forza, Starfield, etc.

No worries. Glad you said something because I just went and looked myself. Gonna get my kid the Minecraft stuff. Looks like there's a deluxe edition of the normal game and for Legends (never seen legends), as he's gotten really into it. 50% off, don't mind if I do!

Well I thought there was like a price if you don't have windows at all, then an "upgrade" price from home to Pro, but i guess they basically just make you rebuy it

Sure, but the normal home-to-pro upgrade cost is $99. So the fact that you can just buy a Win11Pro license through this deal for $40 is still a huge savings.

Ok ya that was my question. I actually have another pro license turns out so I'm good but that actually makes sense

Just a heads up to all the current winners ... this expires July 1st (new FY). Use up your credit before it's gone. If you can't, see if others here can use it!
I have one more spot left, will probably randomly raffle it out based on the current list at some point.
