    Default Credit card returns?

    How long does it take for a return to show up on a credit card? I returned two things on Monday morning and it's now 2 days later and still nothing. I'm new to the whole credit card thing.

    It can easily take 2 to 3 business days...maybe 4. You'll see it get posted soon if you're checking online. There are often items "pending" for a few days that you can't see on your c/c statement online...but they're there. Be patient. If you have your receipts showing the return, then you'll be fine.

    It depends on the business. I've returned things at Sears (Landsend) that take about a week or more to show as a credit on my account. Other stores show up within 2 or 3 days.

    depends on the merchant. Most of them says 3-7 days. Some are closer to 3 others are closer to 7. I would call next Monday if you don't see anything before then.
