Refund guidelines when cancelling recurring AppleCare plans

Depending on when you cancel your recurring AppleCare plan, the following refund guidelines may apply:

  • If you cancel your recurring AppleCare plan within 30 days of starting the plan, you’ll get a full refund.

  • After the first 30 days of your recurring plan, if you cancel your monthly or annual AppleCare plan immediately, you’ll get a refund based on the percentage of unexpired AppleCare plan coverage.

  • Depending on the country in which you purchased your AppleCare plan, your monthly or annual plan may remain active until the end of the last month or year for which it was paid. Then it will be cancelled and no refund will be provided.*

*Cancellation and refund guidelines may vary in your country, region, state or province. For example, you may need to contact Apple directly to immediately cancel your plan in some countries. You can find more information about cancelling and refunds in the applicable AppleCare Terms and Conditions.

If you can’t see your recurring AppleCare plan to cancel

If you can’t see your AppleCare plan in your subscriptions, your AppleCare plan may not be linked to your Apple Account. You can finish your AppleCare plan setup by linking your plan to your Apple Account.
