When an item is returned to a merchant for a refund, the merchants POS system creates an ARN. Some merchants choose to display the ARN on the return receipt (credit) and some do not. The ARN is generally not labeled as such and may just be a string of numbers on the receipt. In either case it’s best to contact the merchant and request the ARN.
