Refund on an app purchase

I recently was told I’d be given a refund on an app I didn’t intend to purchase. Does anyone have experience getting a refund from Apple for an app? I do not see any pending refunds on my credit card yet. It’s been 3 days..

iPhone SE, iOS 14

After you request a refund you'll receive a status update by email within 48 hours. If your request is granted, the time it takes for the money to appear on your account or statement depends on the payment method. Refunds go back to the method used to make the payment originally.


- Store credit (e.g., Apple ID balance): 48 hours

- Mobile phone billing (payment through your phone service carrier): Up to 60 days

- Other payment methods (e.g., credit/debit card): Up to 30 days for it to appear on a statement.
