What they did
Can a bot get money back from a place that says it doesn't do refunds? His daughter was let into a swim class early on, then turned away for 3 classes in a row. The bot that owns her school life pulled the registration order and attendance history, put the timeline in a Notion database and drafted the refund request. He reviewed it and sent it himself. A separate dial bot called the front desk twice, but nobody picked up. Two days later the school replied that a full refund had been processed. His bot closed the tracker row and set a reminder to check that the credit posts.
How it went
A dated timeline, a refund email you approve, follow-ups, and a check that the money lands.
Worth knowing
- One person's X thread. The refund isn't shown, and the amount isn't given. A business can still refuse if your contract really says no refunds. Then a card dispute or a local consumer agency may be the next step.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
[Business] won't refund [service] for my [child], but we didn't get what we paid for. 1) Pull the order or registration and any attendance or usage records. 2) Build a dated timeline in [Notion / a doc]. 3) Draft a short, polite refund request that cites the timeline. Show it to me and don't send anything under my name without my OK. 4) If they don't reply in [3 days], draft a firmer follow-up. 5) When they agree, remind me to check that the credit posts.
