This post contains affiliate links. OzBargain might earn commissions when you click through and make purchases. Please see this page for more information.

Grab your copy of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 or Mac office 2011 for $8 - $15 depending on what country you choose($8 for NZ, $10 for USA and $15 for Australia.
This pricing is only for eligible email accounts with company/education emails.

Also works with hotmail accounts but will cost you $30, because you will have to buy both the DVD backup copy and then add the license (as per ozbargainers comments, plz read thread page 4 and after).
From teh comments, MS charges $15 for the Licence first and possibly charges the $15 for the DVD later after its shipped. It is possible then to contact Microsoft and cancel the DVD to save $15 as per here.
Also note that when using a hotmail email, you can only purchase MS Office for Windows. Not sure why they dont allow to buy MS Office Mac when using hotmail

To Use with Hotmail:

Use any @hotmail.com address and then Program code 05383F4FAC.
But you better be quick before they fix the hotmail bug
Please all thank methos for the tip

If anyone is interested in the pricing of Office 2013, i got it from here

So, how about the rest of the Office SKU's? For starters, the traditional Office Standard will cost $369, while Office Professional Plus 2013 is priced at $499.

  • How long is the delivery to WA?

    • How is anyone going to know that? From the MS email: "*Please allow 2 to 4 weeks for DVD delivery."

  • works with @adelaide.edu.au

    • dammit
      i tried that yesterday and it didnt work so got the $30 version instead
      could have got the $8 version :(

  • does anyone know whether i can buy a copy for myself and another copy for my gf (who unfortunately does not have a valid email).

    • You can install on 2 computers…..

      ………..or you can just set up another Hotmail account now and buy it

    • Deleted

  • I don't how it happened but upon my second attempt, i was able to buy the mac version. Thanks for the deal.

    • Under which country?

    • which email did you use?

      • I bought the Australian edition using my work email.

  • Installed on one desktop and one laptop with no issues.

  • Got the confirmation email at my Hotmail address but no matter what country I choose (even AU) I can't add it to my cart. I've tried Chrome and IE, and I've tried the methods mentioned above. Any ideas where I'm going wrong or is it something on their end?

    • -1

      OK, so it seems to let me add the backup DVD but when I go back to the page and try to add the download to my cart I get "Sorry, this product is currently not available.".

      Damn!

    • When I tried with another hotmail address to replicate the Mac version one above, I could still do the Aus Windows version including disc ($30)that we have all had to do.

    • Me too modtang. I can only add it if I choose add a backup cd then it costs $30

  • Does this expire? or is it always this price?

  • +1

    I bought the $30 disc and download but my credit card has only been debited $15. Maybe they will charge another $15 when shipping the disc.

    • +1

      i have $30 debit pending

    • +1

      Same here. Initially there was a $30 charge on my CC, now it's only showing $15 was debited from it on Jan 21st. Weird!

      • Same here. I checked my bank account after the purchase, it was $30. but after 2 days, it changed to $15.

    • Same here, only $15 charged on CC so far (not $30 as expected).

    • Same here .. Only $15 charged till now.. Lets hope we don't get charged for the other $15 :P

  • Still works! 3 days later

  • I have experienced several crashes of excel and outlook. Any similar experiences?

    • Excel was fine for me. Haven't tried Outlook. Have you tried a repair or reinstall?

      • Trying to send emails but kept getting an error has occurred. Excel - when I tried to copy and paste some data from different spreadsheet (2010), same error message. Do you think I should uninstall office 2010 then reinstall 2013?

    • Outlook used to crash when I sent emails (workaround was to disable Avast antivirus while sending emails). As of now, problem is FIXED (I assume Avast may have been updated).

    • Prav try deselecting the COM Add-Ins which I describe in my post on the previous page, its a common problem.

  • Has anyone had problems doing a find in Outlook 2013??? In the search box at the top of the emails type a word that you know is contained within an email msg, and outlook 2013 can't find it?? anyone having same problem???

    • Outlook Search works fine here (on Windows 7).

  • Took 3 days and an email to support, but I finally got my copy, huuzah!

  • Wow now within 10 + of the Ozbargain record.
    If everyone who bought this deal gave it a + it would easily beat the 748 required.

    • +4

      also broden's record was broken here

      • Techically correct but I'd adjust for inflation. I bet ozbargain userbase has grown a lot over 2 years. If its double then Broden is -400.

  • ……….

  • Tried a few hotmail account with different countries but never gave me the Mac version of Office 2011. Also tried my @telstra.com (not @team.telstra.com) and @tafensw.net.au email address neither addresses worked. :( I do get the Windows version of Office 2013 but not what I needing, so looks like itsnotcheating maybe the only option.

  • I bought the $30 package using Hotmail but they only charged my credit card $15! Wish I could +ve this again!
    Did this happen to anyone else?

    • Yep i think they would be charging the remaining $15 once they ship the dvd…but its just my assumption…even for me its showing $15..

      • It is showing $15 charge for me on the 28 Degrees Card Statement. I am sure they will charge when they will dispatch backup media as the charges are broken down in two parts in the receipt, one for Product Key and other for Backup DVD.

    • Same here. I checked my bank account after the purchase, it was $30. but after 2 days, it changed to $15.

      • could you possibly email their customer support and cancel the DVD
        Can anyone try ?

        • I dont think they have a direct support email address. it will be lengthy process and I think not worth $15.

        Long time watcher, decided to join the site to vote for this deal as it is the best ever (for me)

  • Hotmail trick still works for $30, btw. Can't believe I only saw this deal just now.

    • -4

      Heh, but who is the one being tricked? Would you have paid full price for this?
      "If you don't see the sucker in the room, it's you!" - Just follow the money, that's your clue.

      like the unverified $14.99 Windows 8 upgrade "mistake" these little "tricks" flush out the thousands (millions?) of people that would never bother to upgrade or pay full price anyway = an extra $15 for each one at virtually no cost. Then surprise, surprise the loophole/ trick is closed once it gets too mainstream and risks costing the real/base customers and also upsetting the retailers.

      Remember too, LibreOffice is free as is Google Docs

      I got the deal too btw, even though the 2003 version already has at least 95% more features than I will ever need or learn, so they got me too :)

    • Thanks for heads-up, thought that it had been closed.
      Got on board this morn.

      Nice work OP & other contribs.

  • Awesome. Picked up my $30 Office Suite. You made my Wednesday.

  • still works $8 for my work email @cba.com.au
    Awesome find!!!!
    deservedly gets best bargain ever!

    Long time lurker and first time poster. Just registered an account to say thank-you for posting this offer.

    or only hotmail.com ?

  • No Mac :(

    Congrats to OP - EasternCulture for now having the 'most positive voted deal' on Ozbargain! - http://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/epic_threads

    Well done mate!

  • i wish someone had a solution to dling the mac version of microsoft office. I just recently purchased a macbook pro and i am starting uni this year - anyone have an ideas or could give me a helping hand? hotmail emails do not work, only work emails and my monash uni email doesnt work either

    • Have you tried your Uni's bookshop for student pricing? I just bought Mac 11 from my Uni's bookshop for $14 as a staff member.

      • Which uni is this?

        • The University of Western Australia.

  • Grabbed one copy. With 2 activations per key, it will do me well for me and my missus. Thanks for posting this :)

  • Is anyone being billed/charged a $15 charge (that's gone through) with a $30 charge from Microsoft HUP pending?
    I bought it yesterday using my Hotmail address.

    • Same here, have the $15 charged, with $30 pending..weird..anyone able to shed some light on this? Cheers

    • +1

      Bought for $30 on 19 January, only $15 charged on CC so far, with ZERO pending.
      You probably need to give it a few extra days for the original authorisation ($30) to expire (?)

  • M$ is racking in a lot of money as there is no incentive to pirate the software at this price point. I would love to be at their end looking at the bank account heading north exponentially.

  • Ordered mine with my hotmail address. Thanks :)

  • Thanks OP and everyone who contributed. I just ordered with hotmail. I clicked on back up media and it added the license and the dvd to my cart. No problems. all went through the first time.

    • You took your time getting to it :D

      Great deal and still available. Surely it's a deliberate 'stuff up' as MS have had plenty of time to close this loophole.

      • Yeah I know. I guess I just glanced over it. I'm not up to speed on technology.

        It twigged because I looked over on the RH side of my screen and saw that there were nearly 800 positive votes.

      • As another user stated, it's a clever way of making a little bit extra from those who are likely never to purchase it in the first place, and only did because it was a bargain.

        It's not something they're going to advertise and shout from the rooftops. Those tech savvy enough will find it and buy it while the rest will buy it through the normal channels.

  • Worked on Hotmail, Thanks for information I thought it may not work seven days on.

  • Got my x64 copy with my Hotmail account.
    Couldn't open documents properly with latest OpenOffice. This is the best and cheapest M$ Office version!

  • Do I hear 800?

  • just bought another copy for a friend, $30 Hotmail is still working.

  • Doesn't work with my uni email and the hotmail option doesn't allow me to download a mac version :S

  • +6

    Bought it for $30 via hotmail, and I sent a refund request to their customer service for cancelling DVD back up and keep digital copy due to website error. Now, one of rep already processed my refund n told me just wait for few days that the $15 will be applied into my cc
    Vote me if this would help u

    • what email did you use to contact their customer service

        • Hi Xxxx,

          Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Store.

          I understand that you would like to get a refund for your backup DVD.

          I am willing to process a refund for your backup DVD.

          I am processing your refund for order: CNLxxxxxxxx. Please allow 5 - 7 business days for the credit to be applied to your credit card. Due to billing cycles, the refund may not appear on the same credit card statement as the original charge.

          Thank you again for contacting Microsoft Store.

          Sincerely,

          Ely P. | Customer Service | Microsoft Store Support| 13 20 58 | www.MicrosoftStore.com

        • update,just received DVD from SIN by DHL, also $15 credit into my CC, cheers

    • gonna try this

  • Thanks OP and Methos, great find.
    Phew, just glad I checked in after a long holiday.
    Anybody know if there is a time frame we have to install the program, cause I am still reluctant to upgrade my computer maybe not for another 6 months, once windows 8 Matures and they iron out the bugs, typical with new software. Please comment if you know, thanks peeps!

    • +1

      There is no activation time-limit for this.
      It's a retail license :)

      Source: VAMT 3.0

      • Awesome, thanks mate!
        Stocking up for my future upgrade hardware now.

  • I've got the windows version too but how do I get the Mac version? Anyone??

    • You can't buy the Mac version using a Hotmail email. To quote OP:

      Also note that when using a hotmail email, you can only purchase MS Office for Windows. Not sure why they dont allow to buy MS Office Mac when using hotmail

  • Oz still working. NZ wasn't.

    Had to get the CD also.

    $30 all up.

  • OMG I downloaded the .img file literally 20 times, and all of them are corrupted! Not working…. anyone else have this issue?

    • No problem here. I suggest you find another Internet feed, or dare I say torrent the ISO's. The ISO's are exactly the same as the IMG's except MS changed the file names (verified by comparing SHA1 checksums against the values published on MSDN). Hopefully the built-in retry mechanism in BT will get you a good copy.

      • hmmm…. I downloaded the 64bit .img files from the links provided in the comments on this post. Running Windows 8. Everything is legit, it's very frustrating haha. I may download the 32 bit version just to check. I don't want to torrent it….. possibly viruses? POSSIBLY? Thanks for your reply alvian! :D

        • I performed a byte-by-byte compare (as well as computed SHA1's) between IMG's downloaded from MS and ISO's downloaded from BT. They are identical.

          Edit: Forgot to say "Use the 32-bit version, Luke." 64-bit breaks compatibility with extensions and plugins, and causes a lot of problems for the common home users. You only need 64-bit if your databases, spreadsheets and documents exceed 2GB in size.

        • Update: Managed to get it to work on the 32bit version! Thanks! :)

        • Man… Just installed 64bit. After uninstalling 2010 32bit version.

          Dont know why i bought this, just got sucked in. Have 2007,2010 and now 2013.

          :(

          damn OZB

  • Anyone know how many PC's this version can be installed to? The 2010 version you could load it on 3 PC's.

    • so far I have installed it on 2 PC's (and 2 times in one of them after an OS refresh), ..

    • http://www.microsofthup.com/hupau/faq.aspx

      On how many computers can I install the software?
      2 computers, either 2 PCs or 2 Macs, specific to the software that was purchased.

  • if anybody doesn't know how this works, here is a good guide i found: http://homeuseprogram.wordpress.com
