Transfer apple account balance to Apple Cash

I put money on my apple account I meant for my Apple Cash

Transfer Apple ID money into cash

Yes! Welcome to my world. I did the same thing and they can actually reverse it if you haven't spent any of it. I accidentally spent like a dollar from it and I had to live with my mistake. So now I've got the pro version of every dumb app in the store. Awesome!

I would seriously bet that more than 50% of the people that fund their Apple account are doing it on complete accident thinking it's Apple Cash. The fact that two separate accounts like that coexist and cannot be transferred to one another is shady asf. It's kind of infuriating

How do I change it to my Apple Cash account?

I added money to Apple ID or App Store and then to my wallet then I’ve tried to put balance on Apple Pay is there any way to do this?

So I wasted 200?

I just started using iphone&apple services being that this is my first iPhone,well I put 20 on wrong thing now but mounted money just sits on balance cause I can’t figure out how to use it&cant trans it on or use to buy a gift card

Jeff needs to remove the word “obviously”. Feels like a pretty shady move, Apple. If people want to buy something like a subscription they would do so out of one of the cards connected to their Apple account. Having your Apple account that even has an ability to receive funds that are not the same as Apple Cash it’s just a way of frivolously taking money that people have to commit to spending your company. Whatever though

I agree wholeheartedly .. it is looking schiesty because it IS JUST THAT !!! … I , one of APPLEs loyal customers , for the first time in 20 years im

considering leaving Apple behind …because of that thing right there , I wasted $2000 I had put on Apple Pay and meant it to go to rent but couldn’t pay the rent with Apple Pay. I tried to buy something yesterday with my Apple Pay®️ and couldn’t …it would NOT WORK and the bank authorized it and everything but no such luck so I give up

like I said, im giving some serious consideration to going back to android and I thought that would never happen!

Funds in Apple ID Account are non-transferable. Do you have funds in Apple Cash account you want to transfer? Apple Account and Apple Cash Account are two different financial instruments from two different companies.

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

"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.

Hi, I’m so sorry this happened. I did the same thing but it was only $110. You can contact support and have them request a refund for the transaction. Mine has been requested, I’m just waiting to see if they approve it and issue the refund back to my original debit card. Finger crossed. 🤞 maybe they can do the same for you.

Welcome to Apple Support Community. The Apple Support article I linked below explains how to use the funds in your Apple Account funds.

What you can buy with your Apple Gift Card or Apple Account balance - Apple Support

Just did this. Call Apple and they can refund the money added to the Apple account back to the payment method used to add it. It can take up to 48hrs to get the refund, but you can track the status of the refunds at reportaproblem.apple.com(I think that is the site). Good luck!

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.
