The short answer
Sevenly loyalty purchases: once you've applied or redeemed cashback on a purchase, the terms say it can't be corrected, returned, cancelled or refunded. Closing your Sevenly account also wipes your cashback balance. Ordinary in-store purchases: 7-Eleven México doesn't publish a refund window. You complain by emailing social@711.mx with a photo of your ticket, or by asking for a human in their web chat. Bank deposits or bill payments made at the till that never arrived: their help center asks for a photo of the ticket and an email address so they can look into it.
Or let yoink chase the refund.

How long does a 7-Eleven refund take?
Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.

Refund FAQ for 7-Eleven
Yes. The Sevenly terms say **all accumulated cashback is lost** when you cancel, and it can't be reactivated or transferred to anyone else. If you sign up again later, you create a new account from zero and the old balance doesn't come back. So spend your cashback on a 7-Eleven or Petro Seven purchase first, then cancel. Keep in mind that a purchase paid for with cashback can't be refunded later, so only buy something you actually want.
