I have a renewal coming up and would like to know if Microsoft 365 offers a discount for veterans or first responders and if so how do I get it since it is impossible to speak with a live agent. Thank you!

Hi @Walt Sr

Good timing to ask before the renewal. Here's what's available, so you don't need to chase a live agent for it.

Veterans: yes, in the US. The Microsoft Store has a military offer for active, former and retired U.S. military and their families, with up to 10% off select products and services. Microsoft 365 is listed on that military page with its own link. Start from the Microsoft Store Military offers page and buy or renew Microsoft 365 through it.

First responders: Microsoft's offer page doesn't mention a first-responder discount, so as far as I can find there isn't a dedicated one for Microsoft 365.

A few practical tips for your renewal:

  1. Turn off recurring billing at account.microsoft.com > Services & subscriptions before the renewal date, so you aren't charged full price automatically.
  2. Buy Microsoft 365 through the military offer page. If you shop on base or through the military exchange website, check their price too, as they've carried Microsoft 365 Family deals before.
  3. If you receive a product key, redeem it at microsoft.com/redeem with the same Microsoft account. It adds the time onto your existing subscription, so nothing is lost.

The offer can't be combined with other promotions, and Microsoft can change it at any time, so check the current price before you buy.

Is your current plan Microsoft 365 Personal or Family?

If this answered your question, please consider accepting it as the answer. If you have trouble applying the discount, let me know and I'll be happy to keep helping.
