Withdraw cash from Apple account? (lemmy.world)

This probably isn’t possible, but I traded in an old MacBook Air and chose to get the cash added to my Apple account. However, at the minute it just pays some of my subscriptions automatically, and I was wondering if I can withdraw it somehow?

I was looking to buy a few apps (Swish, Transmit) and figured I could get them off the Mac App Store. But Swish isn’t on there and the App Store version of Transmit doesn’t seem worth it compared to getting it directly from their website.

So wondered if I could somehow transfer the cash from my Apple account but guessing the answer is “no”?

Don't have an Apple account, and I happened to scroll by through all recent posts. Still, I got curious and found this: https://support.apple.com/en-ng/108334

Hope it helps you! 😊

Thanks, but I think this is more around Savings and Cash - neither of which are available in the UK.

My “account” that holds the cash is basically my Apple ID, and whenever a subscription is due or I purchase an app from the App Store, it uses my balance to pay for it.

I’d like to withdraw it into my bank account to then use Apple Pay to purchase apps outside the App Store.

Don't think it's possible then: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253942480#257395950022

The thread is from 2022 and from the UK. Hopefully things have changed since then.
