Why? Because someone could easily mug you, steal your shitty Wii game and recipt in the bag, then go to a store somewhere else in the country, claim they don't have the card on them and that they just want the cash.
So stop blaming Game and use your brain.
Tell me...be honest...how was this so called 'policy' communicated? In writing? The store manage could NOT show me any such policy. Believe me, the amount of grief he got he would have shown me the policy if he had one.
Incidentally, it's not 'the law' you just made that up. -

O_o
Anyone with half a brain cell can see why they wouldn't do it.
No, they could and would if necessary in court.
You get charged under that law and it's all published.
Actually, there is no law against murder.
It's all just done on legal precedent.
I'd dig it out, but it's off topic and I can't be arsed. -

I was more than happy with the Game manager producing this policy, but he couldn't...because it doesn't fucking exist.
Show me the policy, I'd have left it right there.
Its not the stores policy, its the Banking Code Standards policy and its NATIONAL LAW. Shouting at someone in game and throwing your dummy out isn't something that can help you. -

What I'm getting at is not quite down to what you're facing here, but people often get confused as to what their rights are when it comes to refunds etc.
There was no reason why they couldn't, when provided with the card details, refund it to the original card holder. -

It is the law. It was communicated in the training and was in the training manual which I got a silver badge for which attached to my staff badge.
It *IS* in the training manuals but the manager could blatantly not be arsed digging one out to sort your blithering out when every retail and online store has to conform to the exact same policy. People like you really piss people like me off because you think you know it all but you know absolutely nothing. And even when 2,000 people tell you to lie down, you just won't. People like you generally have no friends though. -

And when it came down to it you could just have accepted vouchers . Your brother had already paid for the overpriced game so you could easily have swapped it for a different one. What this comes down to is that you wanted money not a game. -

..which is exactly what the Game store manager thought when you turned up without your original method of payment and started blithering on at him as if it was their fault. -

hehe, you're changing your story now, this doesn't tie in with your first complaint in the first post. actually, they have to have proof that they've 'witnessed' the card.
If you don't believe me, get this. To get a refund to your card these days, you have to enter your PIN. Before, you had to sign.
This doesn't apply to online stores because they store the original transaction and address details in a database. -

Registered 13 years agoSpeaking personally I've either been given store credit, or bee offered an exchange if I didn't want a refund. I've always had refunds credited back to the original card. I don't know if it's law or nationwide policy, just my general experience of taking stuff back. -

No you are trying to get a REFUND OVER THE PHONE mate. When some could have easily stolen that wallet.
Do you read what you've written before you hit submit?
What benefit, to anybody, could there be in refunding to a stolen card? It's not like the thief it paying the bill.

Refunding a previously fully authenticated transaction over the phone is not an issue, it happens every day on EPDQ systems. -
