Denied iTunes credit refunds

really enjoy Apple products and the whole Apple ecosystem. If my PC ever stops working, I’d happily move to a Mac. Overall, I’ve had a great experience with Apple devices.




The only part I’ve struggled with is the refund process. Even after canceling my subscriptions before adding more credit, I still had iTunes credit taken out. I’ve requested refunds twice and both were denied, which has been frustrating and confusing.

I completely understand that all companies have policies, but I think it would really help if purchases that aren’t refundable were clearly marked as “final sale” ahead of time. I also wish customers were told if their account is flagged in any way, instead of being left unsure why refunds are denied.

Your refund requests were denied because Apple’s automated system flagged them based on timing, usage, and prior refund activity, not because you did anything wrong. This often happens when subscriptions renew unexpectedly from Apple ID balance. The best path now is to request escalation to a Senior Advisor, who can manually review and often override the denial. Your suggestion about clearer “final sale” labeling is valid and commonly requested.
