Hello. My credit card is automatically paid via Apple Pay. This happened twice, 22.97 dollars. This payment is not within my request. Please refund.

First, be sure to ⇢ cancel a subscription.


Then click ▶︎ Request a Refund.


According to Apple:

If your refund is approved, the funds are applied to the same payment method that you used to buy the item.


Here's how long it takes for a refund to appear on your account or statement:


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.


Note—Once a decision has been made on your refund request, you will get a follow up email from Apple.


Click ▶︎ Check Refund Status.


Final Note:

I have written a detailed user-tip on this subject that goes into greater detail.

Good luck! 👋🏼😉

This is a user to user forum, no one here can refund your money. This isn't a chat room either, have a little patience and wait for someone to answer.
