well, at least they paid you back for it. that's actually quite respectable of them. and if they didn't, it would have been a class action lawsuit, so kind of a moot point all around. You got your money back. I recommend using it to obtain several tiers of backup hard drives and make sure you have two physical copies of every piece of media you feel is not replaceable. Because some day, you won't be able to replace it. the corporate dream is nobody owns anything, you just have to jack into their "stream" and consume whatever they feed you. the funniest thing is, people are already getting a head start on that dystopian future. they're doing it to themselves, by actually paying for shitty streaming services. You really shouldn't do that, as it only emboldens them.
They absolutely didn't get their money back. They got a voucher. They got scrip.
Getting money back would be getting money back.
I agree it's still better than walking away empty handed, but let's not pretend that got their money back.
It’s as good as cash. It’s an IOU
Nope. You are bound to store prices and store products, and specifically applicable products maybe even bound to a time frame.
Gift cards are absolutely less valuable than the same amount in your bank account or in cash.
