LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Some people still pay with cash these days for several reasons, but it's not always the best idea in some cases.
One woman found it to be a problem when she paid $1,600 cash for a new refrigerator and was unable to get her money back after finding out it didn't fit in her kitchen.
The company told her they would issue her a gift card in three weeks.
With paying for large items with a credit card, you can get an immediate refund in most cases. Many stores will no longer give large cash refunds.
Both Lowe's and Home Depot say: "Cash exceeding $1,000 may be refunded by check sent from the corporate office."
If you don't like paying with plastic, consider a personal or bank check instead for your protection.
