How long for online purchase refund to hit credit card? Experiences?

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share my experience with getting a refund for a service I didn't end up using. I canceled pretty quickly after realizing it wasn't what I needed, and I was worried about how long it would take to get my money back. Has anyone else gone through this process? How long did it take for the refund to show up on your card?

I've been there before! Usually, when I've gotten refunds, it takes about a week or so for it to show up on my card. But I've heard it can take up to 10 business days sometimes. Hang in there!

Thanks for the info! I guess I'll just have to be patient. It's just frustrating to see that charge on my account 😫

Pro tip: Always use a credit card for online purchases. It's way easier to dispute charges if something goes wrong. Plus, some cards have purchase protection!

Ugh, refunds are the worst. I swear companies make it hard on purpose so we'll just give up. Good luck, OP!

Hey guys, I found a great way to get through to customer service when you need help with refunds or any other issues. I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it saved me hours of waiting. Check out this video for more info: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Sounds interesting, but $20? Is it really worth it?

For me, it definitely was. I was able to get my refund processed right away instead of waiting for emails. Time is money, you know? 💯

LPT: Keep a spreadsheet of all your online purchases, including dates and confirmation numbers. Makes it way easier to track refunds and dispute charges if needed.

Am I the only one who's never had a problem with refunds? Maybe I'm just lucky 🤷‍♂️
