After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Not a bad idea. I didn't know you could get a refund. That's more enticing.
I don't believe you can. The coverage stays with the physical device at transfer.
How to request a refund for an AppleCare product
Follow these steps to request a refund for your AppleCare Protection Plan or AppleCare+.
If you need a refund for an AppleCare product, such as the AppleCare Protection Plan, review this article to understand the guidelines and find the information Apple will need.
Understand the cancellation and refund guidelines
If you cancel within 30 days of purchasing your AppleCare product, you'll get a full refund less the value of any service already provided.
If you cancel more than 30 days after purchasing your AppleCare product, you'll get a pro rata refund based on the percentage of unexpired AppleCare product coverage less the value of any service already provided. You can find the cancellation fee in the serial number of the Apple hardware covered by the AppleCare product

Contact AppleCare Agreement Administration
To talk to an Advisor about your refund request, tell the Advisor you need help with an AppleCare product refund and you do not need technical support, then provide the AppleCare product number, information from the original sales receipt, and the serial number of the covered hardware. You may not need to provide the original sales receipt if both the AppleCare product and the covered hardware were purchased directly from Apple.

Yes, you can cancel and request a refund for unused portion of AC+. I just did it.
AppleCare+ is NOT transferrable to a new device except in the case of a replacement device provided as part of the coverage. If you sell or trade a device that has AC+ coverage, you can either leave the coverage in place (perhaps a selling point if you choose to sell the device) OR cancel for a partial refund.

I transferred my 16gb 6 plus ac+ and transferred it to my 64gb 6+. Since I sold my 16gb
For every Apple product that I've owned, I've never purchased Apple Care for it. However, with the Bendgate issues and the fact that it will cost a lot of money to replace a broken 6 or 6 Plus, I am rethinking about getting Apple Care when I get the 6 Plus.
The bottom line is this: for those of you who purchased your 6 Plus and bought Apple Care, has it been worth it so far?
You can purchase it over the phone although they may ask you to download diagnostic software. I believe you have 30 days from your purchase date.
You can walk into Apple Store and the will just look at it and run diagnostics..takes 5 mins.. No need for appointment. I scheduled appointments before and they told me for iPhone 5 and 6+ that just walking in is good.
I stand corrected. And it convinced me to choose apple care+. VZW covers loss and theft but it costs way too much at 10 a month + 199 deductible.
