How Do I Check the Status of My Apple Refund?

If you buy a product or subscription on apple by mistake or if someone else does so with your apple device, you can request for apple to refund you the money. When you have the original Apple ID that you used to purchase the apple product, you can log in to your account and open your purchase history. When you locate the purchase which you need to be refunded, you give the reason that you need a refund.

When you request a refund from Apple, they will verify your request to determine whether it is legitimate. If the reason for your request is valid, Apple will send you an update within 48 hours and start processing your request within 3 days. This process may take longer especially when Apple has to verify your request. When you are getting a refund, Apple will send it to the original payment method that you had used.

If you had paid for the purchase using your credit card, you can expect to receive the money-back in your account within 5 days after you return the package. You can follow up on any delays with your local bank. Of you had used cash, Apple will refund within 15 business days through a cheque that will be sent to your billing address.

If you bought the products online using an Apple store gift card, Apple will email you back the gift card within 3 business days or 8 business days by mail. You can avoid such an inconvenience in the future by enhancing your security measures. Choose a strong passcode for your device which is not too obvious like your birthday. You can also enroll for the two-step verification system where you need a verification code in addition to the passcode. Do not trust anyone with your passcode.
