If they meant to say that they had processed a refund and would be sending it to customer care for additional comp, they could have communicated that much more clearly.
An agent probably took about ten seconds with your request, saw that it had already been refunded, and assumed you were asking for additional comp. These are not rocket scientists processing refunds.
