Simply don´t, apple terms are not always pro consumer and maybe they won't open a exception, the success of the SE will always depend on their end, if u still decide to pursue the SE, be conscientious to go for a call/ text call with a agent and ask to escalate the case if needed.

In my opinion FTID isn't reliable, opt for traditional methods with higher success rates.

Yes it will and probably close the case with no solution.

what method do you recommend?

Amazon DNA or WIR (Best options, I would choose WIR)
or
Apple DNA (Really hard to SE apple these days so I wouldn't recommend it)

Agreed.
