Double charge for Microsoft subscription via Apple

Hello, I've been charged twice for my personal subscription . Is it possible to make a refund for the second payment? I wrote to Microsoft and they told me to contact you since the subscription was paid for by Apple.

If you're only seeing this on a financial statement, check you haven't subscribed to the same service twice, once through Apple and a second time directly with the service provider. E.g., Join Apple Music on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC - Join Apple Music on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC - Apple Support - "Make sure to join Apple Music through either Apple or your mobile phone service provider, so that you're not charged by both."


Click on this link to read what to do "If you see ‘itunes.com/bill‘ or an unfamiliar charge on your bank, credit card, or debit statement" --> If you see 'apple.com/bill' on your billing statement - Apple Support Note, if you are a Family Sharing organizer, purchases or subscriptions made by another family member may be charged to your card but will not appear under your purchase history or subscriptions. Ask family members about those or check the email receipts Apple sends you for any purchase charged to your Apple Account.


If you need further assistance contact Apple.

1. Click here to go to Billing & Subscriptions --> https://getsupport.apple.com/?PGF=PGF63006

2. Select: Subscriptions & Purchases

3. Select: Unrecognized charge.

4. Click on Continue.

5. Choose a solution or article, or scroll down to contact methods and select a chat or phone call.


If you do have two subscriptions and you do not want the one through Apple, confirm you have canceled any subscription automatic renewal (if you simply delete an app this does not cancel subscriptions):


Review the information in this support article by clicking on the link to learn how to cancel a subscription from Apple. ➔ If you want to cancel a subscription from Apple - Apple Support

If you subscribed to this in the EU from a third party, see: About purchases not billed through the App Store or the App Store’s In-App Purchase system - Apple Support instead.


Notes:

• "If you signed up for a free or discounted trial subscription and you don't want to renew it, cancel it at least 24 hours before the trial ends."

• Deleting an app does not cancel a subscription.

• An existing subscription will normally continue until the end of its term and may then renew automatically. Stopping automatic renewal is effectively canceling it. "If you don’t see Cancel Subscription, then the subscription is already canceled and won't renew." The "Expires" date means the current subscription will just run until then. Note special conditions for some countries: About canceling subscriptions in Germany, Israel, South Africa, or Türkiye - Apple Support

• Read the article to see what to do about subscriptions that do not appear in your list. If you still can't find a subscription, contact Apple Support using the link at the end of the support article.

• Canceling a subscription does not automatically start a refund.

If you're double charged you might need to opt in for a refund for the double paid subscription:


  1. Sign in to reportaproblem.apple.com.
  2. Tap or click "I'd like to," then choose "Request a refund."
  3. Choose the reason why you want a refund, then choose Next.
  4. Choose the app, subscription, or other item, then choose Submit. If you were charged for a subscription that you no longer want, you can also cancel the subscription.
