FYI, Apple Account funds and Gift Cards are generally non-refundable.


[the funds are quite literally in Apple’s “bank account”]


You are fortunate that Apple placed your damaged gift card funds on your account so that they might be redeemed for Apple Goods and Services.


The chances of successfully obtaining a cash refund however, are likely fairly low.

Gift Cards are not redeemable for cash and cannot be returned for a cash refund (except as required by law); exchanged; resold; or used to purchase Gift Cards. Unused Associated Balances are not transferable.
