This seems like a simple way to do it but most companies seem to refund to the original form of payment.

Anyone know of any exceptions?
The merchant agreement explicitly prohibits crediting a charge back on a different card than the one on which it was originally made. It comes up as an issue frequently on gift exchanges/returns, since, as a business that's signed that agreement, we cannot "refund" a exchanged/returned gift to anyone but the person who originally purchased it.
