FAQ
Q: What if the business has a 'no-show fee' policy? Can I still request a refund?
A: Yes. You can still request a refund by politely explaining extenuating circumstances (e.g., emergency) and asking if they can make an exception to the policy.
Q: How long should I wait for a response before sending a follow-up?
A: Wait 3-5 business days for an initial response. If there's no reply, send a polite follow-up email referencing your first request and its date.
