How to use it
El reembolso (noun, masculine) means 'refund, reimbursement' — the return of money paid. Core B2 collocations: solicitar/gestionar/obtener un reembolso; reembolso completo/parcial; política de reembolso; contra reembolso (cash on delivery). The verb is reembolsar. Distinguish from devolución (return of goods) and compensación (compensation for harm or inconvenience).
Common mistake
Contra reembolso means 'cash on delivery' (COD), not a standard refund. Devolución refers primarily to returning the item; reembolso to getting the money back. 'Full refund' = reembolso completo or devolución íntegra del importe.
