At least you got a refund. I lost count of the number of apps and games I purchased from the Google Play store that got unlisted / removed and I didn't get any refunds. Granted it's not Google removing the app but it's the developers unlisting it for whatever reason. A small heads up before said unlisting would have been nice.

Right, a gift credit. My bad. It's almost as good as a refund, still better than being out of pocket.

What do you mean almost as good? You can spend your refund money anywhere. Gift card is only accepted by the store issuing it.

If you're only shopping with Amazon then for you it may be, but it's not true for everyone.

Almost as good, with best being a full refund and worse being nothing at all. I've had Google Play app purchases disappear and that was it. No refunds.
