Read this article to learn how to request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple --> Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple - Apple Support


Read this support article for information about how long it takes to receive a refund, and how to check the status of a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple --> Check the status of a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple - Apple Support

After you request a refund you'll receive a status update by email within 48 hours. If your refund is approved, the funds are applied to the same payment method that you used to buy the item. How long it takes for a refund to appear on your account or statement depends upon the payment method used:


● Store credit—It might take up to 48 hours to see the refund in your Apple Account balance.

● Mobile phone billing—It might take up to 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.

● All other payment methods [e.g., credit or debit cards]—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."

Since the article specifically says "statement", which for me is the thing that arrives monthly in my mailbox, I wonder if you check your daily card transactions online if you might see it earlier?

Perhaps you're not happy with an answer from an official

Apple Support article. But we're product and service users

like you ~ and cannot change how their policy works for us.

obligated to adhere to. Though sometimes that's hard to do.

I do not see any same day option. Also read the wording carefully for what it says and does not say, plus what the words mean. I believe for most people a "statement" is something you receive monthly for anything that has happened anytime over the past month. If my statement was issued yesterday and I receive a refund today, I won't see it on the statement until next month, but in fact the money might be in my account tomorrow.

I know you can read perfectly fine. I am just pointing out you have to analyze almost word for word each part of a sentence when reading Apple's documents. Sometimes what they do not say is as critical to understanding something as what they do say. We are users like yourself and basically have to go on what we understand from what Apple says.
