Can you put back money on a credit card?

When you make a purchase using your credit card, you don’t actually pay the merchant. Rather, the retailer will issue a refund to your credit card account. This is why you usually can’t receive a refund in any form but the original payment method. It has to go through the credit card company once again.
How does repayment on a credit card work?
A credit card allows you to access pre-approved credit offered by the bank that issued the card. This means that you will have money available to cover purchases on credit. You then have to pay that money back, either in full at the end of the month or over time through minimum monthly repayments.
Can I pay my credit card after each purchase?
And the answer is yes. You can make as many purchases on your credit card as you would like to (up to the account’s set credit limit, of course), and pay off the balance at any time you wish. Pay in full and you get a free loan for somewhere between 20 to 30 days.
What happens when money is refunded to a credit card?
If the purchase amount of the item you are returning is the only balance on your account, then your balance will return to zero after the refund is processed. If you have paid your card down to a zero balance and then receive your refund, you will have a negative balance on your credit account.
How long does it take for a credit card to be refunded?
Once the merchant processes your refund, it’s up to your card company to post the credit to your account. This typically takes three to seven business days. These timeframes apply to simple refunds, in which you and the seller agree to a return.
Is there a fee to buy a money order with a credit card?
Most credit cards charge a cash advance fee of 3 to 5 percent of the transaction amount with a minimum fee of $5 to $10. On a $1,000 money order, that’s a fee of $30 to $50 on top of the money order fee. Cash advance APR. Many credit cards charge a higher APR on cash advances than they do regular purchases.
