    If it's a replacement card on the same account then that should be fine, but if it's a completely different product/provider then the refund is likely to be bounced back to the merchant....

    Correct, but in some instances even returning the money to the same provider, the provider may hold the funds rather than release to the refundee.

    If that happens, get your merchant to provide you an ARN which you can share with your bank to trace the refund and get the monies paid into your account.
