I'm stuck in a frustrating loop with Apple regarding a duplicate charge for a subscription. I bought the Notability Pro license through a gift on my main account and didn't realize that my secondary account ended up being charged about $20 for a Notability Plus subscription I didn't want. I've reached out to Apple for a refund, but they denied my request, insisting all sales are final. After appealing, they told me to contact the developer, Ginger Labs, about the issue. They were actually helpful and confirmed I do have a valid Pro license, but they can't issue a refund since Apple is the one handling payments. I've even filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau after attempting to resolve this, but I'm feeling hopeless. Anyone faced something similar? How can I actually get this resolved?

It sounds like you might have two separate accounts causing the confusion. Apple’s system can be tricky if you're redeeming gifts on one account but have subscriptions tied to another. They usually can show which account made the purchase, so make sure you have all the accounts straightened out! That might help clarify things.
It’s a common misconception that the BBB has any real power. It’s a private organization, so they don't have any authority over Apple. I’ve heard you can have more luck reaching out directly to someone high up at Apple. There’s the email for Tim Cook floating around; it might be worth a shot.
Try checking if you can manage your subscriptions within the app to avoid future charges. Just make sure to cancel anything you don’t want before the renewal. It could help prevent situations like this from happening again.
Honestly, the BBB isn't going to help much. It's just a way for companies to look good, and Apple won't change their mind because of it. You might want to explore other options instead, like speaking directly with Apple support again or trying to file a complaint through a consumer protection agency.
