Visit the Report a Problem Page

You can check the status of your refund by visiting the Report a Problem page. If you're not logged in yet, enter your Apple ID and click Continue, or choose Sign in with iPhone. If prompted, check your trusted device or phone number for the verification code, then enter it on the sign-in page to complete the sign-in process.

Check the Status of Each of Your Refunds

Apple displays your refund requests in chronological order, with the most recent request appearing first. You can view the status of each refund next to the date the refund was requested. If the status shows Refunded, it means Apple has already processed the refund. Keep in mind that it may take additional time for the funds to appear in your account, depending on your payment method. If you have no questions about your refund, just click Done.

If your refund request is still marked as Pending, it's best to wait for Apple to complete its review before contacting Customer Support, as doing so won't usually speed up the process. Apple often reviews refund requests within 24 to 48 hours. Once your refund has been approved, the funds are returned to the original payment method used to purchase the item.

If you paid with a debit or credit card, you can expect to receive your refund within 5 business days after it has been processed by Apple. However, it may take additional time for the refund to appear on your bank or credit card statement. If you don't see the refund after the expected timeframe, contact your bank or card issuer for more information.

If you paid using an Apple Gift Card, the refunded balance is returned to your Apple Account balance or issued as an electronic gift card. You may also request a physical gift card from Apple, but you'll need to contact Customer Service.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Apple Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
