I hope this isn't the only reason you're not doing the steps or something like it to solve your problem. This is so easy to resolve, if the CC is the only thing holding you back.
What, do you think that they will log in and buy a whole bunch of licenses on your CC before they enter their own? If that's really the case, then call the CC and tell them to deny any further charges on that CC from MS. Of course you probably can't do that because that same card is probably in use on your main companies account.
-
It's not my call to grant another company access to our credit card. The Finance Director could authorise it, but not me. It has nothing to do whether I trust them or not, it's just protocol.
-
You could change the CC while doing a screen share. But then you see theirs, if that is an issue.

Most companies financial policies would not allow that.

Most of those systems don't show you the complete CC number that already exists in the system. So really the only risk is the other company buying things, not the number itself.. again, typically.

Which is still a pretty big risk to a company. There's a reason our company has a rule against credit cards.
-
I'll agree there is a risk there. I'm only thinking this is really viable without both parties being in the same room at the same time while this is taking place because you guys used to own them. Unless the break apart has bad blood, I don't see why there would be sudden distrust.
-
Seems like there could be a relatively easy technical fix to this that MS is overlooking.

You mean like a technical lock that prevents any account except XYZ account(s) to make purchases on a specific card?
-
All Microsoft need to do is to delete our credit card. They could do that right now. There is nothing technical about it, they just choose not to (or in the words of Customer Service it isn't "in my support boundaries").
