Does accepting a voucher waive a cash refund?

It can affect your position, depending on the rule and the terms you accepted. Save the offer and consent screen; do not assume a voucher is mandatory when a cash refund right applies.

What to check

Pull up the ticket receipt and look for the seller, payment method, unused segments, and any voucher or replacement you accepted. Those details usually explain why a refund is delayed or reduced.

What to do next

Ask the ticket issuer for an itemized decision. If the seller sends you back to the airline, use the airline directory to check the official route.
