How long does it take for the refund to process for a subscription fee, that Apple agreed to refund?

I was charged a subscription fee of 199 USD which I really did not want to continue with. So I contacted Apple, and I was told that the amount has been refunded. And it's been now 9 working days, but still I have not received the amount in the initial payment method that I used to pay!


Any ideas on how long usually the Apple refund takes to arrive at my account?

When will I get the money back? -

If your refund is approved, the funds are applied to the same payment method that you used to buy the item. Here's how long it takes for a refund to appear on your account or statement:


• Store credit – It might take up to 48 hours to see the refund in your Apple ID balance.


• Mobile phone billing – It might take up to 60 days for the statement to show the refund. Processing time might be affected by your carrier. You can contact your carrier for an update.


• All other payment methods – It might take up to 30 days for the statement to show the refund. If you don't see the refund after 30 days, contact your financial institution.
