How can I get a refund for Google's $50 verification charge?

Google Cloud charged me $50 for payment verification when I signed up. I've already closed my active billing account, but I haven't received the refund yet.
Will the $50 be refunded automatically after closing the billing account, or do I need to contact Google Support to request a refund?
Has anyone here successfully received a refund for this $50 verification charge? How long did it take?

why would you close your billing account before receiving the verification payment refund? you verified for nothing?
you can't open / ask for support in google cloud console (https://console.cloud.google.com/support/chat) if you don't have active billing account and an active project
3-4 days after the verification completed
Oh No.
If you fight you might get the $50 back but you won't get your time back.
Google customer support is notoriously hard to deal with, shitty situation to be in. Good Luck.
lol lmao
Harder to get refund from a LET host than google
Dude don't even try to get Oracle Cloud, they charge even more!!11111!11
Easier to get refund from @SilverCreek
Try reddit
Oracle is just the worst. I used to manage their scheduling software, and we had to use Oracle SQL. Worst thing in my life.
why are u getting trials or verifiying something with your main card? i think we all should do this using virtual/second debit card with no money on it to bypass situations like this
It's really difficult to contact Google, basically you have to go through Google Pay support. I've only reported charges that I didn't recognize and Was like two years ago, never response...
They don't allow prepaid, debit, etc on gcloud
They definitely allow debit. I've used at least 4 debit cards on GCP.
nah they allow debit
and ofc dont support prepaid
some banks issue virtual cards that flagged as debit, idk its depends
also there is services where you can issue cards and even choose bin for crypto
