So I accidentally purchased a $300 Gift Card, thinking it would go to my Apple Cash… I wanted to pay off some bills/subscriptions (Not on Apple Store) … is there any way of transferring the money to Apple Cash? If not, is it possible to get help to transfer it manually via Apple support ?

No, funds from a gift cannot be transferred by you or anyone else including Apple Support to Apple Cash. Try to return the gift to point of purchase.

Unfortunately no.
A gift card is effectively “pre spent” with Apple and the value is generally not refundable.
Redeem it onto your Apple Account for safekeeping and exchange it’s value from there on Apple goods and services.
What you can buy with your Apple Gift Card or Apple Account balance - Apple Support
How to redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes gift card - Apple Support
Unfortunately they can’t even sell it because it can’t be put back on the gift card. Not even Apple Support can transfer it back.
You are correct. Maybe I should clarify. Maybe he has a friend or family member that wants to make an Apple purchase. He can buy it with his redeemed card and they can give him the money.
So I purchased the gift card, from 7eleven.. I already redeemed it/ expecting it to show up on my Apple Cash,, checked online if I could transfer (you can’t) … so is there a way to ask/contact Apple Support to make that transaction manually?
A $300 gift card from whom?
I’ve never bought an Apple gift card. Good luck though. Maybe you can sell it to a friend or family member
Re: “… Maybe you can sell it to a friend or family member …”
The OP stated that he/she has already redeemed the gift card.
Yes indeed he/she could. 👍
Spending $300 w/ Apple ought not to be too much of a challenge.
Can I transfer a gift card balance to Apple Cash?
