I never knew of ANY business that would refund a CC purchase to cash. That would in effect make them take a 2-4% loss on the amount in question.</font>
Home Depot, unless they've changed their policy recently, refunds cash if you don't have a receipt. If you have one, you get back whatever you paid with. So, if you paid with a credit card and want cash back, lose the receipt.
There may be an upper $$ limit on this policy, but I've never tested it. It also probably helps if whatever you're returning came, or at least could have come, from HD.
