Accidentally added funds to Apple ID rather than Apple Pay

If you've already unsubscribed, you can try to request a refund and say it was purchased by mistake.

i have a subscription for something and i unsubscribed to it but its still making me pay like 32.47 for apple.com or something like that. i dont have the money so it wont let me update or download apps. someone help. (im only 13 bro

So should I just assume since so many others have done the exact same thing as I did and added money to Apple ID and not Apple pay and now my money is stuck there cause I’m not shopping at there little store or what not so am I just screwed???

apple runs circles around us with this Apple ID balance BS. They should clearly state Apple ID is not Apple Pay. Idk why they are so similar in name and nature and also suggested by apple wallet. Being suggested by apple wallet alone makes a person think it’s Apple Pay.

then they make it nearly impossible to find support for their lousy and likely intentional misdirection.

I did this too and It makes me wonder if Apple knows about this potential error that people can make but they keep it because they are now counting on the revenue they get from it. I tell ha I think we have all truly screwed ourselves when we bought into this.

My money is locked up and I cannot figure out how to get a refund. I cannot believe this is legal! Apple is in with the credit cards too, as when I called them to refute the charge they said only Apple can help. I get refunds all the time from the same CC if there is a charge issue from another merchant.

Since your post has nothing to do with the question the OP and also the successful resolution verified by the OP, I would suggest you post a new question as it makes no sense posting here on a completely different topic.

For starters, I would also include in your new post about what refund you are attempting. Apple does not get involved with any decision a bank or credit card company makes, in fact that would be illegal and Apple only provides the information requested from your Credit Card company. While many disputes are possible through your card for fraud, the companies are well aware that purchases on your iPhone require authentication through either biometrics or your Passcode which you are responsible for. It is difficult to say a purchase was fraudulent when they know the authentication method was used.

If you feel that your credit card company is not treating you fairly and you are in the US, you can file a complaint against them with the CFPB and in most cases you will get a response in 15 days. That will give you a chance to state your case with the Federal Government and the credit card company must also provide the information they have to show that a dispute is not warranted.

So stupid me bought an Apple voucher worth 100€. There was a voucher code and a link to redeem it. Stupider me clicked on a LEGIT LINK from APPLE to redeem the money and the money has been added to my Apple Account Balance. It turns out you can only spend this money in App Store AND I WANT TO SPEND IT IN APPLE STORE! I CONTACTED APPLE SUPPORT AND THEY'RE NOT REFUNDING THE MONEY! Please someone find a solution for this. 100€ is a lot of money!!!!

No you don't have to pay, you can have it refunded to your debit card. However if you have a Cash card such as DirectExpress, it cannot be refunded but that is because of the type of Card that it is. Even though DirectExpress yes can have refunds issued to it, there is no option yet to do so from Apple account balance

hey, did you ever get refunded? i’m having the same problem. wondering if i should just give up.

See what already posted.

I did the same thing but it won't let me request a refund

I tried to request a refund, but it isnt showing the invoice of the apple funds on when i pressed "request a refund"

I want to know how can I get my money off the Apple ID because I need it.

yes I wanna refund my money back?
