Use Azure Credits from Visual Studio Tenant in my DEV Tenant

Question

Hi there,
I have got a Visual Studio Professional Subscription from my work which is tied to my work account and I want to use the monthly provided 50$ Azure credits in my Dev Tenant.
Therefor I have add my global-admin account from my dev tenant as an alternative account under:
https://my.visualstudio.com/Subscriptions

But If I look now in my azure-portal under subscriptions the visual studio subscriptions is not shown.
Do I miss a step or is this not the correct approach to assign the credits ?

Hi @poipoit, 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

Please use the steps to add your alternate account:

1. Sign in to the Visual Studio subscription portal with your Microsoft account (https://my.visualstudio.com).
2. Select the Subscriptions tab.
3. Choose Add alternate account.
4. Add your work or school account.

For more information on using alternate identities, check out our Alternate identities article. 

Besides, please ensure you have an active Visual Studio Subscription. If your Visual Studio subscription expires or is removed, all the subscription benefits, including the monthly Azure credit are no longer available. You can contact your admin or Visual Studio Subscription support. 

Thanks for your understanding. 

Sincerely,

Anna
