Poor merchant wouldn't get their fees back even!!

First, make sure you check that what you purchase is able to be returned and fully refundable. I discovered this by accident after purchasing an expensive item on credit card, only to receive the same item shortly thereafter as a gift. I went back to the store, returned the item I had bought and they refunded the money back onto my credit card. However they did not deduct the points I had earned for the purchase. This happended a few years ago so I'm not sure if it still works. Here’s another way to get points without spending a cent.

Card companies are increasingly allowing points for cash redemption which really gives more freedom to use points for what you want.

Seems like he just runs over that little point and I've seen question after question about it but nooooo answer. I've spent too much time here already.
