apple discontinue sale of gift card in Singapore and need to use the balance by end of Mar

it is real short notice to receive this email and Apply support hotline confirmed this is real. Any idea what to buy with Singapore dollar 200 in the balance? Thanks.

Hello,

Apple has discontinued the sale of the App Store & iTunes Gift Card in Singapore. This includes both in-store and digital App Store & iTunes Store Gift Cards.

We encourage you to spend your store credit balance fully by March 31, 2024.

To continue making purchases and avoid interruptions to your existing subscriptions, you can add another payment method (make sure that the payment method is accepted in Singapore).

Luckily I didn't follow the earlier email to spend the balance for the sake of buying.

Here is the email received today from Apple

Hello XXX,

You currently have an Apple ID balance related to the redemption of App Store & iTunes Gift Card(s). While Apple has discontinued offering App Store & iTunes Gift Cards in Singapore, you can still use your balance through June 30, 2024. On July 1, 2024, Apple will begin refunding any unused balances.

In order to facilitate your automated refund, please ensure that the default payment method associated with your Apple ID is a valid credit or debit card. Please note that once the refund has been issued, it may take up to 30 days to be reflected on your credit or debit card.

If you are paying for any subscriptions with your Apple ID balance, you will need to update your payment method before June 30, 2024; otherwise your subscriptions will automatically expire at their next renewal date.

If you do not have a valid credit or debit card, please contact Apple Support.

For more information, visit our support page.

Sincerely,

Apple Support
