Yeah, it's just not clear to me how they'll provide the refund. If they send me a check, fine, but if they will only do it to the original form of payment, that would be a problem, as that form of payment will not exist anymore. Doing refunds by check opens up a loophole in which someone could load pretax commuter card money onto a metrocard and then ask for a refund back via check. I don't think the IRS would like that.
