My understanding is that returning the item for credit will still void the transaction, and portal points/cash would then be clawed back. Now if I said I lost the receipt and asked for store credit, I don't know if saks could still track down the transaction number with my ID.

Also, I bought some saks gift cards via AA portal a couple months ago and got miles. If Cartera gives miles for gift card purchases (despite t+c saying it's not supposed to), does that basically mean Discover will give me cash back? Are there any reports of discrepancy in payout between Discover vs Cartera?
