Normally once funds are in Apple Account balance the only way to get them out again is to spend them.


From: Check your Apple ID balance - Check your Apple Account balance - Apple Support -->

"About unused Apple ID balance

You can't redeem or return Apple Gift Cards, App Store & iTunes Gift Cards, or unused Apple ID balance for cash, except as required by law. If your jurisdiction allows for refund of redeemed gift balances, you can contact Apple Support." Read the support article for more details.


The above excerpt only mentions gift balances as being eligible for refunding, and only in limited places where laws may require that. Read the support article for more details.

Generally, the funds can be refunded/transferred back to original funding source. In other words if funds originally came from a gift card, funds go back to the gift card. If funds originally came from a debit card or bank account, funds are returned to the account. What cannot be done is refund/transfer funds from a gift card to a bank account.


The issue comes on gift cards if you spent some of the gift funds and just want to transfer/refund a partial amount.


Please call 1-800-MY-APPLE to start the process. Funds are usually available in 48 to 72 hours.

Nothing sketchy in keeping people’s money safe. Apple ID account can receive funds directly and/or an Apple Gift Card can be redeemed into the account. People lose physical gift cards, and when they do, there is no way to reimburse the funds.


Another issue is gift cards being used to commit fraud. If the gift card is redeemed into an Apple ID Account, that eliminates the fraud risk.
