Guy plays Wii for a month. He gets bored. He exchanges his Wii for an XBox. Plays that for 2 months. Gets bored. Exchanges that for a PS3.
He's not paying any additional money for them.
Get my drift?
Not the best analogy. That's what the 24 hour limit is for, and most stores allow you a refund within 24 hours or 1 week or whatever. Though, you may have a hard time if it's opened already, and you'll certainly not be getting your money back if there's physical evidence of you breaking it, but the point is you're usually granted a refund within a short period of time.
Having a 24 hour limit AND only 50% refund seems a bit excessive to me, but at the same time I don't feel it's an issue that needs too much looking into. Especially when it can be abused by constant refunds every 23 hours. I'd suggest a system where the 24 hour refund period restricts the actual value of the points rather than the purchase itself, but that'd obviously be quite a lot of unnecessary work. What I mean is, you spend 1k points, and those 1k points can be refunded within 24 hours. You can make however many purchases you want with those 1k points for 24 hours, and test stuff out, but by the end of 24 hours those points stay wherever you placed them.
