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.
That's $5.99 in their Amazon account.
Yes, but there is no easy way to transfer Amazon money into money outside of Amazon to purchase things outside kr Amazon. So, Amazon "refunding" you with a voucher doesn't really do anything (Amazon is gonna get that money anyways, since you can only use Amazon money in Amazon).
Buy a fucking visa gift card, it's not rocket science.

It’s as good as cash. It’s an IOU
