Method 2: Recheck your Email
I find some issues where Discord users have more than one account for different purposes.
So, if you got no email confirming your subscription, recheck the given email to see if it’s correct or not. Look for the required email in the spam section.
Method 3: Contact Discord
There is no solution rather than letting Discord fix the issue. So, I believe you must ask for help from Discord.
I have seen Discord more responsive to Twitter than other platforms. So, make sure you post a Tweet mentioning your problem.
Apart from that, land on the request page and submit your request. You can also send an email to support@discordapp.com to get the problem resolved. I find people asking for help on different platforms to solve their cases.
Method 4: Contact Apple
Contact apple support if you want to get out of this issue with a refund. But If they refuse to give you the refund or don’t respond, contact Discord.
Some Discord users want to use Nitro, but they do not have any medium available. So they depend on some third party who made the payment for them.
If the scene looks familiar to you, there is a chance you were taking services from some spammers. If this is the case, consider the money as a donation.
But if you have a chance to expose them, go ahead.
N.B.: Don’t get Nitro via Apple if you have any Server Boosts before or now.
