You requested a refund.
You expected a standard timeline.
But the refund is taking longer than usual.
The purchase used a coupon.
Or a promotional discount.
Now the refund calculation seems stalled.
Discounted transactions often require adjusted refund calculations.
Why Coupon Purchases Slow Refunds
- Discount value must be proportionally reversed
- Promotional funding sources must be reconciled
- Platform and merchant cost-sharing is recalculated
- Bonus credits require balance adjustments
Refund totals aren’t always one-to-one reversals.
How Refund Amounts Are Recalculated
- Coupon value deducted from refundable base
- Cash vs promotional credit split reviewed
- Partial usage adjustments applied
Only the paid portion is typically refundable in cash.
Common Promotion Refund Delays
- Flash sale discounts
- Seasonal promo codes
- Referral reward credits
- Bundle discount allocations
Multiple funding sources require layered settlement.
When to Contact Support
- If refund exceeds stated processing window

Promotion refunds take longer — because accounting must be rebuilt.
