Save $100 on Office 2008 today only
Microsoft's Mac Business Unit is kicking off the holiday shopping season by offering its "Best Friday Deal" on its Office productivity suite, as AppleInsider mentioned earlier in the week.
If you purchase a qualifying copy of Mac Office 2004 today -- and today only -- you are eligible for a $100 rebate. However, you're also automatically qualified for the company's existing Super Suite deal, which offers a free copy of the upcoming Office 2008 for Mac Special Edition for the cost of shipping and handling when you purchase Mac Office 2004 between November 1, 2007 and January 14, 2008. So, essentially, you're saving $100 off the cost of Office 2008 and getting a free copy of Office 2004 in the interim.
To take advantage of both these offers, simply purchase Office 2004 for Mac Standard Edition, Office 2004 for Mac Standard Edition Upgrade, or Office 2004 for Mac Student and Teacher Edition from an authorized reseller like Amazon.com today. (Your receipt must be dated today, Friday, November 23, 2007.) Then print and complete the Super Suite Deal Redemption Form [pdf] and the Best Friday Deal $100 Rebate Form [pdf].
