$5 discount refund

[name]

I am going to buy a $29.99 game along with a $4.99 game. The $5 discount brings the total down to $29.98 which essentially gives me the $4.99 game for free. If I don't like the $29.99 game and refund it, will I keep the $4.99 game for free or will that get refunded too? Or will I get charged to keep it?

It will get refunded, because it was in same purchase.

no, you refund things one at a time, it's just if you refund one game then unless you queued the others up for refund then you can't refund the other games anymore after that.

I believe you'll gave 25$ refunded instead of 30. If you get the whole ammount, It will return the whole transaction

Why $25? Both the games are $29.99 and $4.99 and with the discount I will be paying $29.98 altogether. Has anyone tested this? I'm really curious to know what happens for sure...

But if you refund the 30$ game, you get 25$ back, because the other 5$ are related to the other game, perhaps? Just a hypothesis

You will get back $25.70.

The $5 discount will be prorated based on the total purchase and split between each item.

$29.99 + 4.99 = $34.98

$29.99/$34.98 = 85.7%

$5 x 85.7% = $4.29

$29.99 - $4.29 = $25.70

Incorrect. I've bought Destiny 2 along with another item and was able to refund Destiny 2 alone. Your case applies only to bundle purchases, not shopping carts.

I.E. If you buy 2 bundles, you can refund each of them separately, but you cannot refund a single item from a bundle. It's all or nothing

Good to confirm. I'll keep that in mind for the next sales

Ok I decided to just buy em both and test it. This is correct, although if I refund the $4.99 game it will only give me $4.28 for it. I'm not sure where that number comes from but I'm all mixed up at this point anyway lol. Whatever...gonna get started playing Doom Eternal and Little Nightmares!

The $5.00 discount effectively gets split up between each item according to the percentage of the purchase it represents. So when you refund an item, you get refunded the amount you actually spent after discount. The discount doesn't get applied to a single game, or arbitrarily, or whatever most convenient scenario you imagine. It gets applied how Steam designed it to be applied.

So if you spend $29.99 + 4.99 = $34.98 on games. And you refund the $4.99 game. The $4.99 game makes up ~14.27% of the purchase. Since the $5 discount was applied to each according to it percentage of the purchase $5 * 14.27% = $0.71 cents. And ~$0.71 gets applied to the $4.99 game. And when you do $4.99 - $0.71 = $4.28. So as far as Steam is concerned you only paid $4.28 for the game, because of the relationship with the $5 discount, so that's what you get refunded.

Heeby-Jeeby already did all the math for the case of refunding the $29.99 game, which should have made things fairly obvious. It's pretty basic arithmetic once you stop over thinking it.
