A merchant that provides a refund in cash or to a credit card without requiring a receipt is exceedingly rare. Most would provide store credit if the return is accepted at all. And some of the more sophisticated retailers keep track of recent sale prices and such non-receipted returns are provided a refund based on those sale prices.
