I have moved and changed countries (from Ireland to Slovakia). I updated my profile info without any issues, with Slovakia and Slovakian tel number. I have family 365 subscription that will soon expire - I want to update it with Slovakia card. It won't let me. The card - when I am prompted to add a new one, the country is by default Ireland. I cannot change the field. I cannot cancel subscription either as it asks me to add a new card. How do I go about this - where else do I need to change the country I live in? I am frankly speechless how one of the most important processes - payments - do not work. Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi Marianna,

This is April, I'll be happy to assist you. Sorry to hear that you're having issue changing the credit card associated with your Microsoft 365. Let me help you out.

Based on the information you provided, you would like to change the credit card associated with your Microsoft 365 subscription. Just a reminder, our Subscriptions are region based. Since you initially purchased an office using Ireland card, our system will not allow us to use a card issued on a different country. The options that we have for you is to renew the office using a card issued in Ireland or just wait for the subscription to expire and purchase new subscription using your Slovakia card.

To purchase new subscription, go to office.com/buy using your Microsoft account.

If you need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us again. We’re here to help, and we appreciate your continued trust in us.

Warm Regards,

April P.
