Can’t use my coins, asking for a refund

Hi, my Apex Legends account is permanently banned, so I can’t use the Apex Coins I recently bought. I’d topped up specifically because I was excited for the Godzilla event, and now I can’t experience it at all. The top-up was less than a week ago, yet it doesn’t even show up as a refund option. I’m not going to waste time, brain cell or energy contacting support for a simple feature most competitive games offer easily. Hell, there isn’t even an in-game option to try out cosmetics before buy.

Honestly, I’m fed up. I put years of effort into this account, only for it to get banned with no real appeal, just automated responses. My alt accounts are playing completely fine, yet somehow my main is flagged for cheating, and I don’t care enough to start over. At this point, I’d rather pre-order GTA 6, wait for Divinity’s early access, or play any game that appreciates its customers. Could I please get a refund for my latest Apex Coins purchase, since I can’t use it?

    Hi poshley​,

    I'm sorry to hear about your experience, especially since you purchased the Apex Coins recently and haven't been able to use them as intended.

    I understand how frustrating this must be, particularly after you've already tried appealing the account restriction.

    Unfortunately, we're unable to process refunds or review account penalties directly through the forums.

    For your refund request, I'd recommend checking our EA refund guide, which explains the refund policy and eligibility requirements, including those for premium currency purchases.

    Since you mentioned that the purchase isn't appearing in your refund options, could you let us know which platform you purchased the Apex Coins through (EA app/Steam)?

    If the purchase was made directly through EA, you can also reach out to our support team using the webform for further assistance. If it was purchased through another platform, you would need to check that platform's refund policy and contact their support team.

    Regarding the account restriction, any appeal would need to go through our ban and suspension appeal process.

    While I can't guarantee a refund or a change to the account decision, I hope this helps clarify the available options.

    Thanks for your understanding.
