Circumstances Where Refunds May Be Possible

🔧 Defective Cards

Cards that don't work due to manufacturing defects or technical issues may be eligible for replacement or refund from the issuer.

🚨 Fraudulent Purchases

If your credit card was used fraudulently to purchase gift cards, your credit card company may be able to reverse the charges.
