An Apple fan who has spent “nearly 30 years as a loyal customer” says they’ve been “permanently” locked out of their Apple Account due to what might be the overzealous actions of Apple’s automated anti-fraud system. It’s left them locked out of “20 years of digital life,” and it all started with the seemingly straightforward purchase of an Apple gift card.
I’m kind of confused why someone would try to pay for an ongoing cloud subscription by buying a $500 gift card.
sometimes stores have sales that includes gift cards so you can get $500 of apple credit for 20% off
Without reading the article, my guess would be a Christmas/birthday gift to them.
You try reading articles before commenting on them. Because as the person you’re commenting to stated, the article says they purchased the gift card themselves.
Maybe recruiter referral reward. They sometimes pay in gift cards.
