Formal Review Request: Accidental Battle Pass Purchase, No Escalation Given

Dear EA Team,

I am submitting this post to request a formal review of an unresolved issue regarding an accidental purchase of the Battle Pass on the final day of the season.

The countdown timer was displayed in a very small and non-prominent area, which led me to unintentionally make the purchase. I contacted EA Support immediately after noticing the issue.

In my request, I clearly explained that:
- The purchase was unintentional
- I am willing to forfeit any gained rewards
- I am only requesting the restoration of 950 Apex Coins, not a refund of real money

Despite this, two different support agents declined to escalate the case. One chat was closed while I was still responding, and the other ended after stating that escalation was not possible. I find this highly inadequate given the nature of the issue.

This is not about preference, but a matter of consumer rights. Under EU and Turkish digital consumer protection laws, unintentional digital purchases with no retained benefit may be subject to corrective action.

I am asking for this issue to be reviewed by a senior representative or EA policy team. I believe this case deserves fair reconsideration.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
buraxboch
Case ID: #214837795 and #214840815

  • Heya,

    The EA Forums are a community forum, due to that, no direct assistance can be given with such issues.
    You will need to reach out to EA Help, as they would be the only ones able to assist you directly with it, and / or escalate the manner.

    I'll give my take on it, though take it with a grain of salt for I am not a lawyer.
    Personally I believe it will be unlikely that they will honor a refund.
    If you already had the EA Virtual Currency (Apex Coins) in-game (Longer than 14-days), and accidentally made a purchase in-game with that currency, they would at the very least not be under any obligation to grant a refund.
