UPD: I got a call today from Apple Retail Executive Relations department. They made manual review of my account and restore it. Problem solved. Thanks everybody for your advice and support. I'm sure our discussion helped to get the pro

It seems to me that it is completely random in nature. The main reason I heard from tech support was that the cards were of different denominations. That is, I took only cards of 100 dollars would be all right. I just talked to a colleague,

In fact, my foresight not to put my eggs in one basket allowed me to travel and deal with this problem after more than a month. It's a very important practice that many people don't think about until they are faced with this kind

> If gift cards are suspicious and cannot be reliably secured, then why are they even sold? I just imagined for a minute - what if someone asks for a birthday present with cards and his friends bring him a pack. It's a GIFT and it&#

I'm not a new customer, it's not a new account. With a verified phone number. I used to add my personal credit cards in the beginning (then gave that up). I don't see any good reason to mark my account as fraudulent. Even if

Yes, I try to use a third-party service. But here's where I made another mistake - using authorization through Apple - that created a huge problem on several occasions, because it's impossible to authorize in the app at all.

My colleague recently bought a phone and also activated gift cards. There were about 10-12 of them (it was an iPhone 13 Pro) and there were no problems at all.

I did what I was comfortable with and I didn't think it would cause any problem at all....

Yes, I created a new account to continue using the free services. But I still can't update any of the apps on my phone and iPad And it really disappointed me to have spent the last few years advising all my friends and colleagues to sw

Right now, I don't have the opportunity to go to court. But I really hope that our communication will get their attention. Thank you all for your comments and answers! This is very inspiring!

I don't like using credit cards and other cards if it can be avoided. Yes, I am a bit paranoid about it. But that's no reason to ban my account.

Losing 2k is just the top of the iceberg. I can't log into the AppStore on my new device and therefore use all my existing purchases and purchases. I can't even update apps. Not on any device. This is much "more expensive&quo

I didn't activate them all at once. It was over a month ago, and I think I took my time for two days. I activated a couple and then went on to do the work.

I was transferred to a higher level (that's what they said, but I think it was still the usual customer service). And I don't know how to escalate the problem to another level. Maybe a public posting would help in some way

When I ask what I have violated, they suggest reading the legal page. I've already read it a thousand times. There's nothing in there that I could have broken.

I already find same cases on reddit and google. And only one case was resolved. And just after the user started a public campaign. I really spent about 12-15 hours for phone calls..

I bought them at retail, at a nominal retail price. not all at once of course, I buy them from time to time just in case. this is the case when my laptop broke down and it came.

In description I wrote - activated about 2000. The reasons why I use gift cards I also described in the post You may have multiplied account - It doesn't go against Apple's rules. Because not all applications are available in all

A little over a month ago I encountered a very serious problem from Apple. I’m posting it only now, as I have just returned after a long trip. I can no longer fully use my account - download apps I bought, update them, use my balance, renew
