I just called the main US number listed at this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Selected iPhone then told the person that I wanted to speak to someone in iCloud billing. Took about 5 minutes and that was it, very easy!
When's your birthday again? And what was your favourite childhood pet? It's..uh...research for my book. Definitely not trying to get into your account. No way, no sir.
Payment options?
Does anyone know if you can pay by deduction from your iTunes account balance or do you have to give Apple a credit card.

Got my email
And without any intervention on my part, I got my email this morning saying they have prorated my current subscription and made it $11.99 a year ongoing for the extra 20gb. Splendid.
The "upgraded storage plan" is a bit misleading, as it suggests I got upgraded when really it's just a reduction in the amount I pay each year for more than the 5gb free storage.

Thanks. I was ready to call this morning, but woke up to an email that prorated and switched me over to the lower price ongoing.

I'm playing with words? I'm not the one obsessing over what "slightly" means. And I already gave an example of when slightly and twice as much were the same thing.
i'll just keep using the service that is the most convenient for me to use.
at the moment it was/is dropbox. will have to see how yosemite and ios8 change that.
don't need alot of space and don't care to save a few dollars.
at the moment i got more space on dropbox than i can fit on my macbooks SSD...

Okay, I was charged $20.00 on August 28 for my plan which was the old 10 GB (15 including the free 5 everyone gets) for $20/year. Now when I log into iCloud, it shows that I'm at 20 GB for $10.99/year. WTH? I was my $9.01 back or I want more storage! This is all very frustrating. Now I haven't checked through all my email yet this morning so maybe I have an email from them so I guess I should do that first before trying to call.
Edit: Checked my email and I too got a prorated refund. It says I have been "upgraded" from a total of 15 GB at $20.00/year to 20 GB at just $10.99/year. So NOW my question is do I have 20 total or 20 plus the free 5? I'm thinking I just have 20 total as that's what shows on my phone now. When I upgrade phones in a week I might need to increase that amount!

Does anyone know if they'll support encrypted TimeMachine backup of your whole hard drive to iCloud? Or at the very least, does iCloud support accessing older versions of documents?
FYI, there is also another thread on the iCloud storage updated pricing

I upgraded my icloud on the 18/08/14, to 15GB for
I called apple re another issue and enquired re increased storage to 20GB and a pro-rated refund, they denied both; they said this may only be happening in the USA.
Anyone from the UK received an email from apple re rebate and increase in storage as apple representative (he checked with icloud support/after sales support and new sales) told me this is not official????

I also just got an upgrade email. My plan was set to expire September 30th, so my refund was basically nil. I'm wondering, did anyone figure out how to upgrade the yearly option to something higher? So far if I click upgrade it only gives me the monthly options.
Anyways if seems like the yearly option does save me a few bucks. I save $2.89 a year with a yearly plan.
The 55GB plan pricing was $100 a year not per month.
You're kind of late to this party.

still trying to understand what exactly is iCloud Drive. from i get reading the website, it's like Drop Box but it doesn't say you can put any type of file on there.
example, say i wanted to dump a 10GB MKV movie into my iCloud Drive account. it wouldn't accept those types of files right?
