I currently have Microsoft 365 Family which I no longer need. However, I just purchased Microsoft 365 Personal. How can I get refunded for the family subscription that just renewed on 10/01/2025 for $129.99. I just purchased a laptop at Best Buy where I also purchased Microsoft 365 Personal for $79.99. I would like to get refunded for the remaining of the 1-year subscription in the amount of $108.33. This would be the remaining amount of my Microsoft 365 Family for the next 10 months. After my refund, I can then reinstate my current subscription for Microsoft 365 Personal.

Thank you.

    To request a refund for your Microsoft 365 Family subscription, you need to follow the cancellation and refund policies based on your billing account type. Here are the general steps you can take:

    1. Determine Your Billing Account Type: Check if you have an MCA (Microsoft Customer Agreement) or MOSA (Microsoft Online Subscription Agreement) billing account. This will affect your refund eligibility.
    2. Cancellation and Refund:
      • If you have an MCA billing account, you can receive a prorated credit or refund if you cancel within seven days after the start or renewal of your subscription. If you cancel after this period, you may not be eligible for a refund but can turn off recurring billing to prevent future charges.
      • If you have a MOSA billing account, you can receive a prorated credit or refund if you cancel after starting or renewing your subscription.
    3. Cancel Your Subscription: Go to the Microsoft 365 admin center and follow the steps to cancel your subscription. This will stop any future charges.
    4. Contact Support: If you need assistance with the refund process or if you are unable to cancel your subscription, you should contact Microsoft support for help.

    Since you mentioned that your subscription renewed on 10/01/2025, you may be outside the seven-day window for a full refund if you have an MCA account. However, contacting support will provide you with the best options based on your specific situation.
