Problema no pagamento

A data do cartão estava errada e ele consta como pago pra mim. O banco recusou o recebimento. O problema é que não há como entrar em contato com a Global Blue. Falam em uma IA que simplesmente não aparece no app. Não há outro modo de contato facilmente visível. Sugestão: sempre peguem em dinheiro na mão, pois correm o risco de ficar sem nada.

Easy refund

The line at the airport was long for cash but since I allowed it to be credited to my card, the wait was minimal. There were assistants there to help too!

VAT success

The Global Blue process makes the refund process so easy! The validation refund process at the airport is a 2 line process. With GB you validate then put the stamped receipts in the GB box envelope drop off and you are done. Leas than 3 days my money is on my card!

Great job!
