    can you rephrase this? it doesnt make that much sence....

    Depending on what youve bought and why your taking it back you can get a refund in cash thats not a problem

    and anyway chip and pin in manditory now, so whoever told you that is either stupid or trying to mug you off, all you do is refund it via the chip and pin method
    INCREASE INTEREST ON SAVINGS!

    ...I will thank you if youve been helpful, please do the same! :j

    You should ring M&S and ask to speak to their legal section.
    Here is the UK Chester call centre number 01244 898601 they are very helpful unlike the Mumbai call centre who can't even get security or you name right.
    Discuss it with them and it may be that you have to take it up with Trading Standards but there is certainly an element of deception/fraud in the way they advertised and then told you it was 5* and took your money leaving you with the belief that you had purchased a 5* accomodation.
    Good luck
