    The trader must give the refund using the same means of payment as the consumer used to pay for the digital content, unless the consumer expressly agrees otherwise
    I'm wondering if the op may be misunderstanding the above and believes he can dictate the refund method, which it obvious doesn't.

    Can you not except the gift card refund then return the gift card to wherever they came and get a refund?

    I am quite surprised that someone has £752 worth of Currys gift vouchers to be fair.


    The only two reasons I can think of are:


    1. You have some rich friends/family


    2. You took advantage of some discount scheme whereby you get x% off when you buy gift vouchers.

    Wouldn’t make since for curry’s to refund you any other way, they sold the vouchers at a heavily discounted rate to a 3rd party who then after taking there admin and profits sold them onto you at a discounted rate.
    Refunding you £752 for a voucher that they sold for approx £600 or so to the 3rd party, you be better taking the voucher and selling it privately to recoup the cash
