Step 1: Understand Microsoft’s Refund 【™️+1 ↭ 888 ↭ 276 ↭ 8917】 Policy
Before canceling, you should know if you're eligible for a refund. Microsoft’s refund policy can vary depending on the type of service and how much time has passed since your most recent charge.

Here are the general guidelines:

Annual subscriptions are typically eligible for a full refund 【™️+1 ↭ 888 ↭ 276 ↭ 8917】 if canceled within 30 days of the purchase or renewal date.
Monthly subscriptions may only qualify for a refund if canceled shortly after the charge, often within a few days.
Trial periods that automatically convert to paid subscriptions 【™️+1 ↭ 888 ↭ 276 ↭ 8917】 are not always refundable once the payment is processed.
Keep in mind that refund eligibility may also depend on your location, regional consumer protection laws, and whether you’ve used the service after being billed.

 
Step 2: Sign In to Your Microsoft Account
To begin the cancellation process 【™️+1 ↭ 888 ↭ 276 ↭ 8917】, you’ll need to sign in to your Microsoft account — the same one you used to purchase the subscription.

Once signed in, navigate to the section that lists your subscriptions and services. You should see a list of all active Microsoft subscriptions 【™️+1 ↭ 888 ↭ 276 ↭ 8917】, including their renewal dates, payment methods, and billing history.

 
Step 3: Cancel the Subscription
To cancel a subscription:

Locate the subscription you want to cancel 【™️+1 ↭ 888 ↭ 276 ↭ 8917】— such as Microsoft 365, Xbox Game Pass, or another product.
Select the option to turn off recurring billing or cancel subscription.
Choose whether you want to stop the service immediately or continue using it until the end of the billing period.
Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
Once you complete these steps, your subscription 【™️+1 ↭ 888 ↭ 276 ↭ 8917】 will no longer renew, and you won’t be charged again.

 
Step 4: Request a Refund
Canceling your subscription 【™️+1 ↭ 888 ↭ 276 ↭ 8917】 does not automatically result in a refund. If you're within the refund window, you’ll need to contact Microsoft’s customer support team to formally request a refund.

Your Microsoft account email 【™️+1 ↭ 888 ↭ 276 ↭ 8917】
The name of the subscription
The purchase or renewal date
The reason for your refund request
Support agents will review your request and determine if you meet the eligibility criteria. If your subscription hasn’t been used recently and the refund is requested promptly, approval is more likely.

 
Step 5: Wait for the Refund 【™️+1 ↭ 888 ↭ 276 ↭ 8917】 to Process
If your refund request is approved, you should receive confirmation by email. Refunds are typically processed to the original payment method. Depending on your bank or credit card provider, it may take 5 to 10 business days for the funds to appear in your account.

If you don’t see the refund 【™️+1 ↭ 888 ↭ 276 ↭ 8917】 within that time frame, follow up with Microsoft support and provide your case number or confirmation details.
