You could try a chargeback on the original purchase of the cards, to start?

Maybe you'll end up chasing them in Small Claims court, even.

But where there's a will, there's a way.

Still though, I somewhat agree with the posters above -- after getting the no-more-refunds letter myself, I will never ever try for a refund again. You can't be an idiot.
