My 365 subscription was set to end May 21, 2021, I purchased this and Activated it by logging into my existing Microsoft account and now my end date is May 21, 2022. On my Amazon subscriptions page it did say "Renews December 2, 2021" so I just hit end (same thing as canceling a subscribe and save subscription) and so now it won't place a renewal order too early. Sure it could be easier if Amazon and Microsoft actually synced up, but it doesn't.
The annoyance though is definitely if you have an active subscription from another seller - you would have to sit on this new code until the current non-Amazon / non-Microsoft subscription runs out to activate it.
On the Microsoft side (which is the only side that counts), Microsoft just extends your existing sub tied to your MS login. I just did it. Super simple. This is the 2nd year I've done this deal. MS now shows my sub expires in Dec 2021.
On the Amazon side, just turn off auto-renew. It doesn't matter what's listed on the Amazon page. Doesn't mean anything.

From my experience, it takes a while, sometimes several hours, for the Microsoft and 3rd party systems to sync up, so if you are having trouble with it stacking, give it a little time and recheck.

I'm not freaking out, but I did activate from Amazon and this is what I'm seeing on Microsoft now. Did you wait a while to see the update on the Microsoft side? On the Amazon side I do see the correct expiration date, but I purchased my last subscriptions from Amazon.
First activate bestbuy one
It wont let cancel on MS side this BBY will be managing it
Cancel on Bestbuy portal under digital downloads/subscriptions
Then an hour or two (probably some batch job with hourly cycle) later it leaves it back to MS but does not show you unless you put a new code which transfers it back to MS managed
I am guessing this Amazon deal will follow same.
First it should add 12 months on top of your subscription, then cancel Amazon mgmt
Get another code now or later to transfer back to MS managed
If I extend it another year by buying this from Amazon will it switch me to them?

It's too bad you have to wait for it to expire as that might cause downtime for users.
My sub expires in a few days and I'll use the sub I got from Newegg.
Your outright purchase is good for 1 (maybe 2) installs, no cloud storage and you're stuck with that version forever. Outright purchase is >$200. How many times can you renew $16 before you've spent $200?
It's just a better value if you have multiple users.
