Credit card returns... why???

Question

Why is it that when I buy something with my credit card the money is taken out right away, but when I return something to get my money back, my refund takes forever to post to my card. It's been over 24 hours and I STILL haven't seen the money post back to my account.

Grrrr!!

Sorry, I thought you knew how the system works.  When you purchase something, they want their money right away, but when you return/credit something, they normally let you know that it will take some time before this information will show up back on your account.  All I can say is call the credit card company and ask them what is the time period for credits.  They will gladly let you know.  Good luck.
