...and, you can only get a *cash* refund if the original purchaser
paid with debit or cash. I'm betting that most folks haven't bought
their 1349s that way. If you take it back without any receipt, they
*should* be able to give you store credit, just as they would if the
item had been bought with a third party CC. I did that just today,
in fact--I had lost my receipt--and I got a little card, that's good
indefinitely and that I can use piecemeal (and I will, when the Ep II
sets come out).
But Matthew is 100% right, if you use such a receipt to obtain money,
it's legally fraud--otherwise, what would stop other people from
buying things on clearance at Target for 75% off, spoofing receipts,
and getting cash back for full price at TRU? That may not be your
intent, but the law makes no such distinction.
Of course, if your reason for wanting a receipt is not for returning
the item, then the above naturally doesn't apply.
