## Overview

I recently made a large purchase but then had to return it to get a different item and I used part gift card part amazon visa so I got points from that first purchase. The gift card amount refunded first so I went and made my second purchase but also used the rewards points I had earned without seeing if the points from the first purchase were removed. What will happen after the rest of the first refund is processed? will my points total just go negative?   submitted by   /u/Skeither [li
