Real User Scenarios: When and How Refunds Were Successfully Claimed

• A member of First Choice Credit Union noticed that they had been charged for an annual fee associated with their checking account, which they believed they were exempt from due to their loyalty program status.

The support team promptly issued a refund for the fee once the mistake was clarified.
