That‘s where this guide comes in! Now let‘s look at how to access Microsoft 365‘s great features for free.

Survey Rewards Programs

One popular way tech savvy people like us get Office 365 without spending money is through survey rewards programs.

These sites give you points for taking surveys, playing games, answering polls, watching videos, and more. You can cash out those points for gift cards or PayPal money to cover the cost of Microsoft 365.

Here are some of my favorite survey platforms to try:

Swagbucks

Over the years, I‘ve earned a ton of rewards with Swagbucks. Here‘s a quick overview:

  • Take surveys starting at just $0.50 each. More involved surveys can pay up to $35!
  • Play games, watch videos, shop online, search the web, and more to earn "SB" points
  • Cash out SB for free Microsoft gift cards and subscriptions
  • Members have collectively earned over $500 million in rewards so far

Survey Junkie

Over 5 million people use Survey Junkie to earn cash and gift cards quickly:

  • Take brief surveys and get paid for each one you complete
  • No complicated point system – cash out directly to Paypal or gift cards
  • Super fast payouts. Many users report receiving payments in less than 3 days!
  • One of the highest-rated survey sites in terms of user satisfaction

Take Paid Surveys on Survey Junkie

In my experience, Survey Junkie has some of the most beginner-friendly surveys compared to other platforms.

To maximize earnings, be sure to check these sites daily and complete as many surveys as you can. With consistency, you can easily earn enough points to cover an annual Microsoft 365 subscription!

Giveaways & Free License Offers

Another excellent way to score Office 365 for free is by entering giveaways and claiming limited-time license offers.

Microsoft often partners with blogs, YouTube channels, and reviewers to distribute free product keys to their audience. For example, I recently earned a free 1-year Microsoft 365 Personal license by following @Office on Twitter and retweeting one of their giveaway announcements.

Here are some places I recommend monitoring for the latest Microsoft 365 giveaways:

The key is to act fast once you see a giveaway announced since licenses are limited. Make sure to turn on notifications so you never miss an opportunity!

Extending Your Free Trial

When you first signup for Microsoft 365, you get a 1-month free trial. Here are some insider tricks to extend your trial and avoid paying:

  • Use a new email address and payment method each time. Microsoft checks this.
  • Make sure to cancel the subscription before the 1 month ends to avoid being charged.
  • Try combining with other free trial offers like LinkedIn Premium or Xbox GamePass Ultimate.

While the free trial only lasts a month, creatively using multiple emails and payment methods can get you several more months of access.

Of course, make sure to cancel the subscriptions before you get charged! But this is a quick way to access Office 365 for free if you just need it short-term.

30+ Free Microsoft Office 365 Product Keys

Now let‘s get into the free product key list I promised!

Microsoft occasionally provides websites and publishers with a limited number of product keys to give away to our helpful readers like you. These keys activate 1-year subscriptions to Microsoft 365 Personal (normally $69.99 value).

Here‘s how you can claim one:

  • Review the list of free product keys below
  • Pick one key and redeem it at Microsoft 365 Software
  • If it doesn‘t work, it simply means that key has been claimed by someone else. Try another key!
  • Bookmark this page as I‘ll add new product keys periodically when I get them.

Without further ado, here are 30+ free Microsoft 365 product keys for you to try:
