Microsoft 365 features that help users manage their subscriptions, account settings, and billing information.
For a purchase already completed without the company discount, contact the seller that processed the order; Microsoft Sales support can review a Microsoft Store purchase, but a retroactive price adjustment is not guaranteed.
If Microsoft processed the purchase
- Open Microsoft’s purchase-support page and select the available live chat or regional contact option: ^1^
- Sign in with the personal Microsoft account used for the purchase.
- Provide the order number and explain:
“I purchased this product without applying my employer’s Microsoft Workplace Discount Program offer. Please review whether the existing order can be adjusted, cancelled and repurchased, or otherwise corrected.”
- Do not cancel first unless support advises it, because cancellation does not always produce a refund.
Because the purchase was months ago, it may be outside the normal refund window. Microsoft determines eligibility during cancellation; in most cases, refunds are available within 30 days of the initial purchase or within 30 days after the most recent recurring charge, subject to regional and product-specific rules.[^2^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "Microsoft subscription refund policy | Microsoft Support")
If this was a Microsoft 365 home subscription
First verify that Fluor Marine Propulsion still participates and that your work address remains eligible. The Workplace Discount Program applies when an organization subscribes to the program; purchases are made through the employer benefit.^3^
If eligibility succeeds:
- Enter the Workplace Discount purchase process.
- When purchasing, use the same personal Microsoft account associated with the existing Microsoft 365 subscription.
- Microsoft adds the purchased time to the existing eligible subscription, and the discounted rate begins at its annual renewal date.[^4^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "Switch between Microsoft 365 subscriptions")
This applies to eligible Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, Premium, or Pro subscriptions; it does not establish that Microsoft will refund or reprice the earlier transaction.
Since “worked for” may mean you are no longer employed there, eligibility could fail if the company benefit can no longer verify your work address. In that case, Sales support must review the completed Microsoft Store order, but the former employer discount cannot be assumed to remain available.
If another seller processed the purchase
Check the receipt or the subscription’s Manage page to identify the billing provider.
- Apple App Store or Google Play: request cancellation or a refund from that platform.
- Amazon or another retailer: contact that retailer directly.
- Microsoft’s cancellation process applies only to subscriptions purchased from Microsoft.[^5^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "Cancel a Microsoft 365 subscription | Microsoft Support")
If Microsoft Support directs you to test refund eligibility for a Microsoft-billed subscription, sign in to Services & subscriptions using the purchasing account, select the subscription, then choose Manage → Cancel. The cancellation page will indicate whether a refund is available; not every cancellation qualifies.[^2^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "Microsoft subscription refund policy | Microsoft Support")
