Charged twice for Developer Program enrollment, account still pending

Hello everyone,

I’m running into an issue with my Apple Developer Program enrollment and hoping someone here or an Apple staff member can point me in the right direction.

I tried to pay the annual fee, but my account status wasn't updating. Thinking the transaction had failed, I tried to make the payment a second time a few days later.

Because of this, my credit card was actually charged twice. The charges appear on my bank statement as:

February 19 (R$ 543.16 BRL)

February 23 (R$ 536.70 BRL)

Despite both payments clearing on my end, it is now March 16 and my account still shows as pending. My enrollment has not been approved yet.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay? What is the best way to get Apple to activate the account using one of these payments and issue a refund for the duplicate charge?

I have all the bank statements ready to show support, but the process has been completely stuck.

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Hi, may I ask if Apple eventually activated your Developer Program account and refunded or voided the duplicate charge?

I’m facing a similar issue now. One Apple Developer Program payment was successful, but another USD 99 charge is still pending and may be a duplicate. My account is still showing as Pending.

Could you share how Apple settled it for you, and how long it took?

Thank you.
