Azure Free account - Transfer Subscription to another tenant

Question

I practiced on Microsoft Sandbox Azure account and had created multiple tenants in it for reading/testing purposes. I used the same email ID and created a free PROD Azure account today (12/18/2020), and the $200 credit got applied to one of the Sandbox test tenants created in the sandbox environment.

1. Is it possible to move the $200 credit to a new tenant which I actually created in Azure Portal today (I tried to move subscription to new tenant - $200 credits are not transferring)
2. In the new tenant, I am not able to view any billing details (As its saying that I am not Billing Administrator)
3. If I revert the subscription to my Sandbox test tenant, I can achieve point 1 and 2

Can you please help ?

Hi @Jagadheesh Ramachandran Venkatesan · Thank you for reaching out.

If you want to transfer a subscription from Tenant1 to Tenant2, you would need to make sure that Global Administrator of Tenant1 is added as owner to the subscription and add that user to Tenant2 as a guest user. After adding the guest user, you would need to assign the user with Global Administrator role in Tenant2 as well.

• If you want to keep the current billing ownership, follow the steps in Associate or add an Azure subscription to your Azure Active Directory tenant.
• If you want to also transfer the billing ownership, follow the steps in Transfer billing ownership of an Azure subscription to another account. To transfer the subscription to a different directory, you must check the Subscription Azure AD tenant check box.
