-You can pay for savings plans with monthly payments. Unlike an up front purchase where you pay the full amount, the monthly payment option divides the total cost of the savings plan evenly over each month of the term. The total cost of upfront and monthly savings plans is the same. You don't pay any extra fees when you choose to pay monthly.

-## View payments made
-
-You can view payments that were made by using APIs, usage data, and cost analysis. For savings plans paid for monthly, the frequency value is shown as **recurring** in the usage data and the Savings Plan Charges API. For savings plans paid upfront, the value is shown as **onetime**.
-
-Cost analysis shows monthly purchases in the default view. Apply the **purchase** filter to **Charge type** and **recurring** for **Frequency** to see all purchases. To view only savings plans, apply a filter for **Savings Plan**.

-## Reservation trade-ins and refunds
-
-Unlike reservations, you can't return or exchange savings plans.
-
-You can trade in one or more reservations for a savings plan. When you trade in reservations, the hourly commitment of the new savings plan must be greater than the leftover payments that are canceled for the returned reservations. There are no other limits or fees for trade-ins. You can trade in a reservation that gets paid for upfront to purchase a new savings plan that gets billed monthly. However, the lifetime value of the new savings plan must be greater than the prorated value of the reservations traded in.
