Companies issuing refunds in the form of gift cards is just straight-up insulting

And it may be illegal in some states to not offer the customer an actual refund.

£5.99 refund. Quite clearly not in the US.

I know they probably actually meant the States of the US, but...

They did say states with a lowercase s. 'States' = regions within a country, 'states' = can mean countries. Technically they aren't defaulting to the US.

£ is from a country that does not have states

But it IS a state. Sorry if you're not a native English speaker but just because your vocabulary is lacking doesn't mean they are wrong.

Sssh.. Everyone lives in default country

Default country is best country.
