Will You Get a Refund After Canceling Your AppleCare Subscription?
It depends on your plan, whether you can get a refund or not. There are about three basic situations you might be in. Let me explain all three of them in detail with their corresponding solutions. In all the below situations, you should have already paid for your subscription beforehand to avail of a refund.
- If you have taken the monthly subscription- I am sorry to inform you that there’s nothing much you can expect in this case. You will not be able to receive any kind of refund; all you can do is use the subscription until it ends.
- In case you paid for the full plan and have decided to cancel your subscription within 30 days of purchase. Under these situations, you will get a complete refund of your money, but the cost of the services you have availed in this time frame will be deducted from the refunded amount.
- Lastly, if you have paid for the full plan but decided to cancel it after 30 days from purchase, for these circumstances, you will only receive the prorated refund for the unused subscription time. Even in this case, the cost of the services that you have availed in this time frame will be deducted from the refund amount.
