What happens to a refund paid to a cancelled debit card?

[Brendan Burgess]

I booked flights using my debit card ending 7833

I cancelled that card.

Now, I am cancelling the flights and getting a refund and got this message from BA

• Your booking will be refunded to the credit/debit card used to pay for the initial booking: **************7833.

I can't find any way to contact BA to query this.

Will AIB know that 7833 was replaced by 8619?

Short answer: you will get your money back into your account.

Debit cards tend to be issued against existing bank accounts, like cheques.

The question is, did you close the bank account the card was linked to?

The question is, did you close the bank account the card was linked to?

And does that field have an IBAN? https://www.independent.ie/business...ried-all-his-cash-in-a-field/a1347776792.html

No, just cancelled the card because it may have been compromised.

The account is still open.

Brendan.
I used my credit card to book tickets on Ticketmaster. Concert was subsequently cancelled. My CC had expired in the meantime and I was issued a fresh one with a different number. Ticketmaster refund arrived to my CC account without intervention from me.
On that basis I believe it should be seamless as your underlying account remains the same.

I imagine it could be tricky if you only had a card with a provider and had cancelled the account.

Maybe they'd issue a cheque in the circumstance.
