This email came from you today....."Starting on 14/05/2025, the price for your Microsoft 365 Family subscription will change from AUD 139.00/year to AUD 179.00/year. "
This is totally excessive and wholly unjustified. I am completely uninterested in using your copilot system. All I want is the Word Excel and PowerPoint on my Mac.
I've seen some responses that suggest I can cancel and subscribe to MS 365 classic for cheaper.. But this not available in Australia. Are we Guinea pigs here to see how much you can gouge out of ordinary people. Shame on you and your ethics.
I think this move by you signals my final association with Microsoft and its products after nearly 40 years.
Microsoft 365 features that help users manage their subscriptions, account settings, and billing information.

Hi Karen. I thought that too. Go to your account and just cancel your subscription. You'll then see the option to renew using the Classic (no CO-Pilot) at the regular price. Cheers. Brent

Thanks Florent - not available in Melbourne, Australia
Has anyone actually had a response from Microsoft? I'm in the UK not received any response. It is a massive increase and I only got the email yesterday, so that's not notice of change, if the change happened last month.
40% increase in my subscription - this is extortion - not happy is an understatement!
