We have about a dozen corporate Visual Studio Accounts that have the $50 Azure benefit. Is it possible to use those benefits collectively for a single hosted testing environment in Azure, all under a single tenant, subscription and resource group?

    Hello Paul Webster

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

    It's important to note that the $50 Azure benefit is allocated per user and cannot be combined across multiple users. However, by collaborating on a single subscription, you can effectively pool your credits together and use them collectively towards a common goal.

    You can follow the steps below:

    -Create a new Azure subscription under a single tenant and resource group. You can use any of the Visual Studio Accounts to create this subscription.

    -Once the subscription is created, you can invite other Visual Studio Account users to collaborate on the subscription by granting them the appropriate access roles, such as Owner or Contributor.

    -Each user can then use their Visual Studio Account to redeem their $50 Azure benefit and allocate their credits towards the subscription.

    -Once all the users have redeemed their benefits and allocated their credits towards the subscription, you can use the combined credits to provision the necessary resources for your testing environment.

    Keep track of your spending and monitor your usage to avoid exceeding your available credits. If you exceed your credits, you may be charged for additional usage.

    Hope this helps.
