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

● Credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Apple Cash, and all other payment methods—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 if you might see it earlier?


For apps and media you can also sign into https://reportaproblem.apple.com to check if the status of your item is "Refunded".



If you need to contact Apple about this, click on this link --> Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support and choose a path that gets assistance from Apple staff.


This is not mentioned in the documentation but others have posted here that if Apple cannot find the method that was used to make the payment they will issue a credit balance to your Apple Account instead.

We are your fellow end users, not Apple, and have no more access to Apple financial records than you. Apple will not see you inquiry here.


This Apple article shows that the time for refunded money to be posted to your bank or credit institution depends on the payment method used for the original purchase:
