Saw the sticker on the display today...quoting:

"Save $100 today only on Office 2004 Student Teacher Edition (blah blah) includes technology guarantee of 2008 for 6.99US/10.00CAN. Offer valid only 11/23/2007"

Probably online too, but who knows. The clerks all told me that they had just set up BF a bit too early.

Seems by far the cheapest way to upgrade!

edit: seems some people got quite ornery--turns out I was flying home--about the time I'd spent not editing the OP. Edited for Amazon.com title and price and possibility that they won't ship in time.


The deal below has it's own thread with more concise and updated info in the OP: LINK

Upgrade form to upgrade any version of Office 2004 to the Special Media Edition for $6.99 when released, which is $475 at Amazon.

$100 Rebate for any Office 2004 edition for purchases on Friday, November 23 only.

Cheapest route, even if you have 2004 already: Buy 2004 Student and Teacher for $125 at Amazon. Or, Staples is a good bet, too, IF you have coupons and tax is taken into consideration. Staples link

NOTE: Rebate must be postmarked by 12/23. Currently Amazon is quoting delivery after that date.

Yeah, this should be eligible for upgrade to 2008 Special Edition. Hopefully I can get this online because I don't have any apple stores nearby. Thanks for the heads up.

This is not just an upgrade, right?


alert mods    

Not an upgrade...this is the full Student/Teacher version that has a sticker on the front advertising 3 liscensed installations.


alert mods    

what is the student/teacher edition missing?


alert mods    

Microsoft office on the mac...
didnt MS give apple a loan for like 100 million just to do this or something like that?

Access, for one thing.

All of these points are valid, but many of us have to use Office at work and this is a cheap (not free, I understand that) way to have a compatible format with MS Office 2007 for Windows.

Or buy it online for even less. Amazon.com has it for $124.00, making the total upgrade to 2008 only $30.00 or so.

do you have info that the rebate is a manufacturer instead of only the Apple Store?

It's a MS rebate! This is SMOKING HOT. You get the special media edition of office 2008 when it comes out, not just the student and teacher edition. (http://www.microsoft.com/mac/go/promotions/supersuitedeal/)

Big green!

Here is the deal broken out a little easier with links to rebate and upgrade forms:

Tomorrow, Black Friday, Microsoft is offering a $100 mail in rebate on Office 2004 for mac. Amazon sells it for $124.99, no shipping or tax. Link is here: http://www.Amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-2004-Student-Teacher/dp/B0001WN16M/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1195764285&sr=8-1

After the Microsoft $100 rebate, located here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/8/c/68cb623d-fba3-4f58-8aad-3cc2a1bd9166/BFD_Rebate_Coupon.pdf, final cost is $24.99. What makes this extra hot is in January Office 2008 will be released. Any purchase of Office 2004 from Nov 1st 2007 qualifies for a FREE upgrade to Office 2008 (Plus $6.99 shipping). Link for free upgrade is here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/B/0/FB087329-3E5A-4347-967C-64E7D8B95BD2/MacOffice_SuperSuiteDeal.pdf.

Final price is $31.98 after rebate to have Office 2008 for mac, which will sell for several hundred dollars when it is released in January. Even if you already have Office 2004 (as I do), it makes sense to buy it again now for only $24.99 as you will get the free upgrade to 2008. The deal is only good tomorrow, Black Friday, but at least you won't have to deal with any lines since you can buy it online from Amazon.

Hope this is of interest to you, and Happy Thanksgiving.

Actually, it appears that the $100 rebate requires the front page of the user guide and the 2008 upgrade requires the box top...I don't see where they're asking for any UPC code unless I'm missing something. I guess the box top has the UPC on it, but the $100 only mentions the booklet page.

Amazon receipt shows the ship date or the purchase date? They may be picky for the 11/23 date?


alert mods    

Yea i just noticed that. Im debating now, I would like to get 2 copies. Anyone know if the rebate is specific to Apple Store only, or can Staples qualify.

Amazon invoices show the ship and order date.
