How To Cancel Microsoft Subscription Manually

You can cancel your Microsoft subscription by yourself, but it’s always risky to leave your cancellation in the hands of the company that wants to bill you. Sometimes they’ll prolong the process so that they charge your credit card again.

In order to cancel your Microsoft subscription, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your Microsoft account
  2. Go to Services and Subscriptions
  3. Look for your subscription and click on Manage
  4. Tap on Cancel or Upgrade or Cancel when the next page opens
  5. Follow the instructions provided

Canceling for business products is a little different especially when you have 25 licenses assigned to users. If this is the case with you, then you have to contact Microsoft directly in one of the two following ways:

  • Online
  • Via Phone

What Problems Might Arise When Canceling Microsoft?

  • The Manage button doesn’t appear
  • You can’t cancel your subscription
  • You can’t turn off recurring billing

Microsoft offers a few solutions:

  • Check whether you’ve signed in with the right account
  • See if the payment method should be changed or updated

Does Microsoft Free Trial Automatically Become a Paid Subscription?

Microsoft offers a 30-day free trial for Microsoft 365 Business Standard, Microsoft 365 Business Premium, and Microsoft 365 Apps for business. After the 30 days, your subscription auto-renews into a paid subscription.

Microsoft will require you to input your credit card information. This is where DoNotPay is your solution—with our virtual credit cards you won’t have to give your real information at all!

Use DoNotPay’s Virtual Credit Card To Stop the Automatic Renewal

DoNotPay’s free virtual credit card is a randomly generated credit card number that you can use to sign up for free trials. The main idea behind this is that DoNotPay’s virtual credit card contains no deposit. The company will try to charge you, they’ll fail, and then, cancel your subscription by themselves.

The number you get through a virtual credit card generator seems legitimate to the vendor and they can’t tell the difference between a real and a fake credit card. You can have as many free trials as you like with DoNotPay’s virtual credit card for free.

Will Microsoft Prorate the Cancellation?

Yes, Microsoft will grant you a prorated refund. They will refund you the money within the next billing cycle.
