Mon: 12-month Microsoft 365 Family for $100 w/FREE $50 Amazon GC

Microsoft and Amazon have teamed up together for a bundle deal. For $100, you get a 1-Year Microsoft 365 Family subscription with a bonus FREE $50 Amazon gift card. This is for the first year. The Microsoft (MSFT) 365 Family subscription will auto-renew in the future if you don’t manually cancel it. You only receive the bonus $50 Amazon gift card now. You won’t receive it with future renewals.

The $50 Amazon gift card will arrive in a mini envelope. The MSFT 365 Family subscription includes up to six persons/accounts. Each person/account gets a 1TB OneDrive of their own.

If you have more than six members in your Family, I’m afraid it’s time to say goodbye to Little Jimmy 😉 If you have fewer than six members, you can always use more than one account for yourself if you need it for photo storage/backup. You just need to use a different Microsoft account for it.

1-Year CreativeLIVE Netflix Plan (CreatorPass) for $99AC

With Omikron threatening to lock us up inside once again, the time may be right for more learnings instead of mindless TV and web surfing and forum dramaz 😉

With that perhaps in mind, for a limited time, coupon code NEWYEAR22 gets you a 1-Year CreativeLIVE CreatorPass for $99. This is a Netflix-style plan and for one year (365 days), you can watch over 2000 classes at CreativeLIVE whenever you want, as many times as you want. As with Netflix, when you stop paying, you stop watching 🙂

Basic FAQs on the service at the bottom of the page over there, but for more, head on to their FAQ page. Offline viewing is only available on select classes, only with the CreativeLIVE iOS app. SADLY they don’t have an Android app.

They offer a 7-day refund. They (relatively) recently launched a Roku channel, and they have a limited functionality AppleTV app. You can also GIFT the CreatorPass to others. A very …creative gift that keeps on giving for a whole year!

Per CL, 98% of the classes are included in the CreatorPass streaming plan, but due to prior agreements with instructors, select classes/instructors are not included in the plan. You can find them at the Exclusions page.
