Get a refund of an unwanted subscription?

I’ve been charged a certain amount of money from a third-part tool subscription (after free-trial), whilst I haven’t been using the tool itself (since I didn’t have any access to it due to restriction coming from the tool itself).


I’ve already asked for a refund, and waiting for approval from Apple Support.


  1. Has anyone who experienced such a case received a refund before?


Thanks!

After you request a refund you'll receive a status update by email within 48 hours. If your request is granted, the money is returned to the payment method you used. The time it takes for the money to appear on your account or statement depends on the payment method:


- Store credit (e.g., Apple ID balance): up to 48 hours

- Mobile phone billing (payment through your phone service carrier): Up to 60 days

- Other payment methods (e.g., credit/debit card): Up to 30 days for it to appear on a statement.
