Deal alert: Free $50 Amazon gift card with Office 365 today only; Apple AirPods Pro return to Black Friday sale price
Christine McKee
Attention Office 365 users. If you'd like to extend your subscription — or if you've been waiting to take the plunge on signing up for one altogether — Amazon has an extraordinary flash deal running right now. But it ends tonight, so don't delay. Apple AirPods Pro are also back on sale, returning to Black Friday and Cyber Monday pricing.
Free $50 Amazon Gift Card with Office 365
In what is shaping up to be a very busy Cyber Week in terms of deals and special offers, Amazon has launched a one-day only promotion that provides shoppers with a free $50 Amazon Gift Card with the purchase of a 12-month Microsoft Office 365 Home subscription.
The 1-year Office plan sells for $99.99 and includes premium versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, OneDrive, PowerPoint and more for up to six people. Another perk is that 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage is included per person. And Mac users need not worry as Office 365 runs on the three most recent versions of macOS.
To note, the Office 365 Home subscription will auto renew after the year is up, and the Amazon $50 Gift Card is a physical card delivered separately, but it's a great way to save on a future Amazon purchase — or pass it on as a Secret Santa gift. Also worth noting, our staff has taken advantage of the deal and found it will add a year to existing O365 subscriptions if you already use the service.
Amazon's Office 365 flash deal is scheduled to end tonight at midnight Pacific.

Apple AirPods Pro are back on sale
One of the season's hottest gifts, Apple AirPods Pro are on sale right now at Amazon, although it's unclear exactly when they'll ship.
Now $15 off at Amazon, bringing the price down to $234.98, Apple's new earbuds offer a customizable fit compared to AirPods 2. Three silicone tips are included with the Pro earphones, allowing for the best fit and seal that works for you (or the recipient when given as a gift).
Users can also choose between Active Noise Cancellation to block out unwanted noise, or Transparency mode to let surrounding sound in, a new feature available with AirPods Pro. This makes Apple's latest earbuds an excellent tool for business travelers, college students and individuals on the go. The Wireless Charging Case can be charged with a Qi-certified charger or with the Lightning connector. And as with previous versions of AirPods, setup is quick and easy with Apple devices.
