When I experienced the failed printer at WM, they simply refunded the broken money order machine problem with cash.
That is incorrect.
Yes, they usually just give you cash.
But No, there is no requirement that they cash you out.
They have the ability to refund the transaction to the card.
As regards the original question, it should only take 3 business days to post. Beyond that, you should inquire with the card issuer.
