hihi ðŸ¤
I don't get it - if the transaction got cancelled, how is the money not in your account? Sorry, it's just not very clear.
I got the fund in loaded in my apple account then i bought a few things at apple.com. Everything went smoothly and they confirmed the order and everything but somehow 5 or 6 hours later, they cancelled the orders because of unverified fund.
Are you trying to buy on the Australian site https://www.apple.com/au/ or the US https://www.apple.com
site?
I’m confused, what exactly is the issue here?
How did you obtain this fund into your account?
I guess by scraping digits off Apple Gift Card in Supermarkets and glue them back up.
I hope the OP comes back and answers my question.
I had over $2000 in my account that I used to buy products from Apple Store with no dramas.
The OP’s account is probably flagged for some weird reason that he’s not telling us.
I suspect they have loaded their Apple balance within Australia and are inadvertently trying to purchase on the apple.com (US) site.
In their post (above) they state:
"i bought a few things at apple.com. Everything went smoothly and they confirmed the order and everything but somehow 5 or 6 hours later, they cancelled the orders because of unverified fund"If the OP can advise if they are using https://www.apple.com/au/ it might help.
@HardQuiz: I'm not sure…
Are you trying to use a combination of Apple Credit and another source of Funds (Debit or Credit Card) to purchase something?
If so, are the Debit/Credit Cards in your name with the same address…
What exactly are you trying to purchase?
If you loaded an Apple Account balance with gift cards they will not refund you. Thats not how gift cards work.
Instead you should be returning any purchase you made with your debit/credit card and resolve the issue with your Apple Account balance not being "verified". It sounds like whoever you spoke to couldn't understand the issue (given your grasp of english in this post thats unsurprising) and just took the easy way out by saying pay with your credit card.
I got this guy Chunming(CM), Gan
Apple Retail Executive Relations looking into the problem but he was unable to helpYou've pretty much covered all bases - you've emailed Tim Cook and the Honorable CM Gan, and neither have been able to help. Have you tried emailing the late Steve Jobs to see what he thinks?
I think what op is saying that they can’t use their gift card balance on their account to purchase items from Apple. They will only allow him to spend it on subscriptions
You may have to go to the ombudsman.
First call consumer affairs in your state.Wait, are you trying to say it is Thursday today? Ffs! Thought was Friday
What did you think was going to happen to the $1200 you already had, after you spent another $1200 on your credit card?
Honestly, my advice is to start looking for something else you want to buy from Apple, because you're not getting the original $1200 back in cash.
id love to hear the sneaky stuff you were trying to do before you got caught.
Could he have used apple App Store gift cards and not Apple gift cards? Can only use it to purchase services not physical goods.

FFS I need help on this one @mapax.
