When you return something that you bought on a credit card, is it necessary for it to be reswiped.?
Answer:
Many larger reatilers don't need to reswipe,however, smaller ones usually do. Depends on there checkout systems.
Most places it is so the machine can credit to the right account number. Very few places can just scan the receipt bar code and that does it. But most still need the card.
Yes, that way it gets credited to the right account.
Yes it is as it has to go through the bank again. Check your statement next time you receive one to make sure it has gone through.
I worked in retail where you had to swipe the card for a return/credit if the item was purcashed on card to begin with. It is to cut down on people making errors and also fraud - if you only need the # then staff can take advantage of it too easily.

YES - so that the merchant can put it back on the card
