Apple AppStore accounts banned

I bought a third-party gift card from the US area, and the payment method was a friend's MasterCard virtual credit card. Before I switched my account to the US area, it was prompted that the AppStore and iTunes accounts could not be used. The password was reset and it was not restored. Other functions of the account were used normally, and the official website can also log in normally. To what extent is this violation? Is there still a chance to re-appeal successfully and use it normally in the future?

Anonymous2183 May 15, 2025Third-party gift cards are risky. If the third party sells black cards, users will be banned. If there is a demand for gift cards, the more stable way is to go to the app official website to buy gift cards and then charge them into your account. Official website gift card purchases are unlimited to issuing places.

Anonymous6808 May 16, 2025@ Anonymous6805 What did you say in contact? Did you accidentally buy a gift card from an unknown source?

Anonymous10207 May 16, 2025Since you have all used Virtual Credit Card (VCC), why do you still use VCC to buy Gift Card (GC)? Wouldn't it be nice to choose direct payment? Since you want to buy GC, why choose a third party instead of Apple's official channel? Isn't this kind of behavior a typical high-risk/false fraud operation? If this can be unblocked, my risk control on Apple will definitely be lowered
