Refund on a closed card

I requested a refund and it got approved but the card it’s trying to go to has been canceled due to suspected fraud. How do I get my refund?

In Check the status of a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple - Apple Support Apple says that the returned funds are applied to the same payment method that you used to buy the item.


This is not mentioned in the documentation but others have posted here that if Apple cannot find the method that was used to make the payment, they might send it to your bank which is then responsible for getting it transferred to your new card*. Another possibility is Apple will issue a credit balance to your Apple Account instead.
