Problem with premium.outlook.com (let service expire)

I signed up for a premium outlook pilot account about a year ago and I didn’t renew it on time. I decided that I wanted to renew and when I try to log in now it will just hang after logging in. If I log in with a different account that was not previously signed up as part of the pilot program, I can go though the sign up process and seems to work fine. Anyone else run into this and figure out how to get around it? Or who I should contact? Thanks

    <p>You can contact outlook premium help at microsoft dot com (without the spaces).</p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#89019">In reply to johngalt:</a></em></blockquote><p>I went there before posting and did a chat. The person helping me kept thinking it was a problem with Outlook.com not premium.outlook.com. They wanted to do a screen share and I decided it wasn't worth it at the time and didn't see what would be causing the problem on my end anyway. </p>

        <blockquote><a href="#89088"><em>In reply to Sprtfan:</em></a></blockquote><p>Perhaps your issue had something to do with the <a href="https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/microsoft-consumer-services/106303/microsoft-hit-authentication-issue-many-users-locked-accounts&quot; target="_blank">problems </a>Outlook.com was having yesterday.</p>

          <blockquote><em><a href="#89126">In reply to AnOldAmigaUser:</a></em></blockquote><p>I had hoped, but the problem was still there last night and now this morning. I'll probably go to their support forum and see if I have any more luck. I'm not sure if I've ever had an issue resolved by going that route though. I guess its not a big deal anyway. I was on the fence about paying for it since I really don't need the custom domain. Just seemed like a good deal and down the road it could be useful.</p>

            <blockquote><a href="#89151"><em>In reply to Sprtfan:</em></a></blockquote><p>I would go back to the support page rather than the forums, at least the ones at answers.microsoft.com. That almost always gets a boilerplate response suggesting everything you have already tried. The TechNet forums might get you an answer.</p><p><br></p><p>I would go back to the support site and hope for a more sentient tech.</p>

    <p>I have the same problem. I have been in contact with MS (level 3 support) for two weeks now and haven't been able to resolve the problem. Today&nbsp;MS pointed me to an old link and&nbsp;was able to sign up for the old add free support (it claims it Outlook Premium), but it doesn't have the new domain support features. </p><p>When I go to premium.outlook.com and try to sign in, I get the spinning graphic and it says loading. I have let is run for over two hours. </p><p>This occurs with different computers and browsers. </p><p><br></p>
