r/Steam on Reddit: How Long Do Refunds Take?
November 28, 2016 -

So a few hours ago I bought The Division on Steam for £20 in the Autumn Sale which ends at 6pm tomorrow.

I decided I would rather get the gold version of the game instead, only had the game for a few minutes at the most and haven't opened it either.

Im not too bothered about how long the money takes to go back onto my card, but how long does it take for the refund to process and be accepted and for them to take the game out of my account?

I want to buy the gold edition for £32 instead but tomorrow it'll go back up to £65 and I cant buy it until the other one is removed from my account, I know I could just buy the season pass which is £15 but I dont feel the need to spend an extra £3 because im inpatient especially if there's another way.

EDIT: The game has been refunded! For all of you who are curious it took about 2 hours for Steam to respond to the refund request. At this point the money has not been added back to my Steam wallet or my bank but the game has been removed from my library and im now able to purchase the gold edition.
