How to Refund a Lycamobile Top-Up (UK Guide)

Purchasing Lycamobile top-ups online is convenient and quick, so sometimes you may end up buying more top up codes than you will be able to use before they expire. Or perhaps you wanted to top up Lycamobile for someone else, but bought the wrong code. There are multiple situations where you may need to request a refund. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about refunding a Lycamobile top-up.

Understanding Lycamobile top-up refunds

To be able to answer the question of whether (and how) you can get a refund for your unused Lycamobile top-up, it’s important to know what the situation is. 
  • Have you purchased a physical Lycamobile top-up voucher from a retail location?
If you have not scratched the code or used it, you should be able to return the voucher to the shop where you bought it and get your money back. Note that you will need to return the voucher within the period defined in Lyca’s terms. Typically, this is 14 days, but to be sure, double-check on the Lycamobile website. 
  • Have you topped up your Lycamobile phone via the Lycamobile website or app? 
According to Lyca’s terms, any call credit that has already been added to your account is not subject to a refund. Since topping up via the Lyca website or app immediately adds the funds to your account, you will be unlikely to get your money back afterwards. This being said, it is always worth trying by contacting Lycamobile’s Customer Service department. Note that you can only claim a refund if you haven’t used any of the call credit you purchased. If the code you purchased hasn’t been used, you may be eligible for a refund. To request that, please get in touch with the Mobiletopup.co.uk Customer Support team. Our team will evaluate your situation and respond typically within 24 hours with a solution. 

Steps to request a Lycamobile top-up refund

To initiate a refund request for a Lycamobile top-up, follow these clear steps:
  • On Lycamobile: You can reach the Lycamobile Customer Service department by sending an email to cs@lycamobile.co.uk, or calling 322 from your Lyca phone. Alternatively, you can use the online chat function on the Lycamobile website. When it comes to refund requests, it’s better to pick a written form of communication, as it allows you to provide more details in a traceable way. Make sure to keep a copy of the communication for your records.
  • On Mobiletopup.co.uk: Head to the Customer Service section of the website and send a message via the contact form. You’ll receive a response within 24 hours. 
In your refund request, make sure to:
  • Clearly explain the issue: Confirm the reason for your refund request, such as transaction errors, duplicate payments, or simply a change of mind.
  • Provide details of the transaction: Keep handy your order number, or proof of your transaction, as well as the date, amount, and the payment method used. 
  • Provide proof of the unused state of the credit: To help Customer Service support you better and faster, make sure to give them proof that you haven’t used the Lycamobile top-up, already in your first message. 
  • Follow the instructions provided: After contacting Customer Support, follow any additional instructions provided to complete your refund request.

Commonly encountered refund issues

Even if you try to do everything by the book, you may encounter some issues with your refund. Here are some common questions and concerns about refunds that may be helpful:
  • Eligibility for refund: Typically, refunds are only available for unused top-up credit. If you have used some of the purchased credit, you won’t be eligible for a refund. Other eligibility criteria may also apply, depending on the platform you purchased the top-up from. 
  • Refund request delay: Refund requests made immediately after purchase may have a better chance of being approved, so don’t wait too long before you get in touch with Customer Service. 
  • Processing time: Even if your refund request is successful, keep in mind that refunds generally take between 5 to 10 business days after approval, depending on your payment method and bank.
  • Refund methods: Refunds are usually credited back to the original payment method used, such as credit/debit cards, PayPal, or other payment channels. You will not be able to get your money sent to a different account.
