Holiday refund to Credit Card

I paid for an expensive holiday on my M&S credit card.
Holiday now cancelled, refund will be repaid to my cc but could take up to 60 days.
I have received a mail today from M&S saying my vouchers are on the way (vouchers will be worth over £100.).
Obviously I cannot in fairness spend these vouchers as I know the money will be returned to me, so M&S will not get their comission.
What do I do?.
PS. Please do not advise ringing them. I have now tried 7 times to speak to them on the helpline (unrelated issue), and cannot get through.
Thanks,
Meg.

    You made the purchase. The fact the holiday co are now refunding (well done you) has nothing to do with you keeping the vouchers.
    The purchase was made.

    Spend them and enjoy them, while thinking about going on that holiday in the future. 

    Odds on if you get through, the staff will just say keep them. I know I would if one of our customers called about something like this.

    if you spend them and M&S ask for them back then is this a consequential loss claim to M&S ?? only joking . spend them
