Wowcher trouble

Hi. A plea for some advice please. (I'm not sure if this is the right category of forum but as it was holiday related, I posted here. Admin Please move to correct forum if needed. Thanks)

My wife and I recently bought a Wowcher short break which we paid on credit card.

When the details of the redeemable ‘wowcher’ came through and the travel agents details were provided, their reviewis were the worst I had ever encountered and I decided to canecl the break less than 24 hours after I bought them. Bearing in mind the ‘wowchers’ were not redeemed by and the Wowcher website offered a 14 day no quibble refund, I am now experiencing some issue in actually getting one. Today I received and email from Wowcher advising that they had refunded 50% of the cost into a Wowcher wallet as a credit. 

I want to receive a CASH refund - not a credit to be used in the Wowcher universe. Anyone got any advice on this please or even a number I can call Wowcher on as currently that seems impossible to do?

Tks

    Did the T and Cs for the purchase of your voucher state clearly that you could get a cash refund? If so, contact your credit card provider. If not, you will just have to accept whatever they offer you.

    What was the timescale between you receiving your voucher and asking for a refund?
