I had an amazon managed 365 account and was able to unlink last month to extend through a new device purchase. The option exists under the my subscriptions page.

=========================

WARNING: Redemption of this code purchased from Amazon against an existing subscription managed by a Microsoft account (via redeem.microsoft.com) will extend the existing term, BUT will transfer management of the subscription to Amazon. You will no longer be able to see expiration information under your Microsoft account.

I am unsure how to safely return the subscription control back to Microsoft.

Edit: CONFIRMED with Microsoft CSR that the subscription cannot be returned to Microsoft before expiration and any keys obtained through other retailers or as gifts CANNOT be applied to this account.

Continuing to investigate - some Slickdealers had similar experiences with BestBuy and were able to return to MS in some way. However, an Amazon held subscription does appear to be locked in for the duration (as far as I can tell)

If you have a subscription several years in the future and you value your consumer freedom, STAY AWAY!

==================

Your comment cannot be blank.

This is correct.

Don't do it! Amazon hijacks your M365 subscription! You're better off going through Microsoft so any account and billing management is done by, you know, the provider of the service themselves.

I made this same mistake years ago and had to go through Amazon to remove their control over my subscription before I was able to pay and extend my service without going through Amazon.
Remember, you can extend your 365 subscription for up to 5 years. If you purchased this from Amazon before, check your Amazon subscriptions to see when your Microsoft 365 subscription ends

Can this be added to another 365 sub purchased somewhere else? I think my current sub is from Newegg.

I've done it before. All you have to do is redeem the code at office.com/setup and it'll push your date back. I did this last year with 3 codes

Thanks OP! I have the subscription bought from BestBuy which will expire in Feb 23. Will this work to add on to that at the Microsoft online account page? Thanks for any tips from experts at SD!

Ok, so I did it just now. After I activated the subscription on Amazon, it was showing expiry date 1 year from today. When I cancelled the auto renewal, it changed the date to 2024 because I had the subscription till 2023. It's all good and working so I will recommend people to buy it from Amazon even though they may have subscription from Microsoft or Newegg. Only thing is when I go to account.microsoft.com, it shows that subscription is managed by Amazon

I bought the PERSONAL version on amazon and it ends April 2023.
If I bought this and switched to family would I get credit for the personal? will it merge?

can you give me details on how to do that? never heard of it. and what is the benefit?
I see this on microsoft page:

Moving from Microsoft 365 Personal to Microsoft 365 Family:

Current subscription: You have 6 months left on your Microsoft 365 Personal subscription.

New subscription: You buy a 12-month subscription to Microsoft 365 Family using the same Microsoft account as your Microsoft 365 Personal subscription.

Result: Your existing subscription is immediately converted to Microsoft 365 Family and will renew in 18 months, not 12. Microsoft 365 Family benefits such as sharing, and Family Safety are available immediately after you make this switch.
