Pleasently surprised by Aqua

My wife, a second cardholder, went on a spending spree abroad and on the 6th went over the limit by ~£30.
I found this out on the 9th only when £12 overlimit fee had been already added on the 8th. I promptly made a bank transfer to put the balance well back under the limit, but decided not to ask Aqua to waive the fee as I had already done this more than once in the past (damn low limit!) and wanted my OH to learn the lesson at last.
Today I was surprised to see the overlimit fee refund dated the same 8th - even despite further ~£130 worth of transactions added on this date and my payment to the card dated 9th (as expected).

Think I'd get rid of the missus and marry Aqua on that basis.0
