Somehow I signed up twice for Microsoft 365 today, and my bank shows two charges. How do I go about getting a credit for the duplication?

Thanks

Don

    1. Sign in and review your order history to confirm whether there are actually two purchases for the same amount made close together: Review your order history.
    2. If only one charge appears in order history, check whether another Microsoft account using the same card made the second purchase. In Payment options, select Investigate: Go to payment options.
    3. Also check Services & subscriptions to see whether two Microsoft 365 subscriptions were activated under the same or different Microsoft accounts.
    4. If the duplicate purchase is confirmed, contact Microsoft Support and request a refund or credit for the extra subscription: Contact Microsoft Support.

    Common reasons two charges appear the same day:

    • A real duplicate purchase was made.
    • A previously declined payment was retried.
    • Another Microsoft account or family member used the same card.
    • Recurring billing is enabled on an existing subscription.

    If the charge is not recognized or the card may be compromised, contact the bank or payment provider immediately to prevent more charges.

    This is a public forum, so for your privacy and security, we can’t help with billing issues here. Also, no one in this forum has access to your account or payment information.

    To get help, open the "Get Help" app on your computer (just search for it in the Start menu). or go to https://support.microsoft.com/contactus, Type "Billing" and press Enter. On the next screen, click "Contact support" at the bottom of the page, then choose "Microsoft 365" > "Manage my subscription". You’ll then see the option to chat with a Microsoft support agent who has access to your account to help review the issue.
