Changing the country means updating the payment method as the country is attached to the payment.

However, if support advises to cancel and resubscribe, there are several things that are happening:

  • You may be asked to pay early termination fee -- Customer support can waive that for such cases like yours.
  • You will loose unused credits, as they are forfeit with a cancel -- Customer support can add replacement credits to the new subscription.
  • You will have a new annual subscription with a new anniversary date and there is nothing that customer support can do about this.

So what you need to do is:

  • Trying to update your payment method. If that fails...
  • ...Contact Customer Care and ask them to cancel and waive early termination fee and to get a new equivalent subscription with replacement credits for the ones that get lost with the cancel. If that fails...
  • ...ask to speak to a supervisor and have him act on your behalf. If that fails...
  • ...post again here with your case number and we will escalate the case.

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    In my subscription overview there is no option to cancel my current prepaid annual CC subscription (Adobe Stock can be cancelled) and changing the payment method does not allow me to change the country (field is greyed out).

    I have contacted customer care again and got much better support this time. Problem solved!

    You're welcome.

    Happy that the problem is solved. Just one question for the records and follow-ups:

    Did support cancel and change the country on the new subscription or did they just change the country?

    My current subscription will end next month anyway, but as it is set to auto-renew, they will cancel it then so I can purchase a new subscription. Apparently the country cannot be changed any other way for existing, active accounts.

    I was assured that no image credits or other data would be lost and there would be no cancellation charge.
