Anyone know if the Office 365 Personal to Office 365 Home $9.99 upgrade is still working?

Hi, everyone.

In late January 2015, Paul Thurrott posted an article about how one could convert/upgrade Office 365 Personal to Office 365 Home for $9.99 USD, at least in the United States.  Here is the article:  https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/office-365/847/tip-convert-office-365-personal-office-365-home-just-9-99

Then, about two months later, Paul posted an article asking others if they knew if the "loophole" was still working.  Here is that article:  https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/office-365/2359/ask-paul-has-the-office-365-personal-to-office-365-home-loophole-closed

The response was, yes, the upgrade was still working.

Has anyone did the $9.99 upgrade recently, like in the last week or two?  Does anyone have a Office 365 Personal subscription that they can try it with?
 

Thank you in advance for any feedback!

P.S.  I am aware of the other tip Paul just posted a couple of days ago (see https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/office-365/4402/tip-extend-your-office-365-home-subscription-with-a-new-office-365-personal-subscription) where you can convert an Office 365 Personal subscription to 9 months of additional Office 365 Home service.  That might even be the better/safer way to go, but I'm still interested in the $9.99 upgrade process.
