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 Account balance.


Mobile phone billing

It might take 30-60 days for the statement to show the refund. Processing time might be affected by your carrier. You can contact your carrier for an update.


Credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Apple Cash, and 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.

Thank you for your post to us.

We are all Apple customers, just as you are, in this community.

No one here has access to your accounts or details.


If your gift card order was cancelled, you may need to contact those you ordered from, if you want a refund from them.


It seems the safest place for buying Gift cards is directly from Apple.

Eg: Apple Gift Card - Apple or Buy Apple Gift Cards - Apple


If that is where your order was placed and cancelled:

Try contacting Apple Support: Contact Apple Support - Apple Support


Else: If you aren't aware there are gift card scams, please see :

About gift card scams - Apple Support

Eg: says:

Contact Apple Support if you believe you’ve been the victim of a scam involving Apple gift cards.

Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗
