Refund for prepaid booking on expired card help.

[aussietravellers]

Complicated story but hope someone will know the answer.

Booked Mickey's Backyard BBQ. Prepaid on a credit card (not a prepaid debit) (hadn't added reservation or dining plan at that stage). I now want use my dining plan credits to pay, which I think I can organise on the night and they will refund my credit card (from what I understand).

Problem is, the credit card I used back then. The bank no longer uses MasterCard and their cards now Visa. So the card I used to pay, is now a Visa, not a MasterCard and has a different number, expiry etc. The old MasterCard, has expired now anyway (even if it hadn't been changed to a Visa by the issuing bank).

So what happens when Disney does a refund, to an expired card or a card that no longer exists? Will they refund to the current card linked to your account or only the card that was used to make the payment (which no longer exists) as I think the refund would bounce possibly?

Sorry, meant to post this in restaurants section. Mods any chance you could move it over to restaurants?

Can't believe I did that. Sorry.

It's the same bank, and usually banks are smart enough to work that out. Talk to them.

I've been refunded to an expired debit card and it was no problem. The bank just routed it to my new card.

As long as you still have the account with the bank, the refund should eventually make it to you. For confirmation of this information, call your bank.

I don't know about that

Yeah this happens all the time - they'll find a way to route it to you.

In your case a new Visa card was issued, but your underlying account stayed the same so any credits to the original MC will show up on the Visa card. It's not a problem unless you completely close the account, which you did not.
