Seemingly really cool service.

I don't know if I want to authenticate my email address with them though.

It seems to me like Amazon/Best Buy/etc next move will be to add a provision that "You must submit a claim not through an automated service"

So their service will auth against your Gmail account in order to place a Draft there for you to send ;)

although if you're giving the service free reign of your email, it could easily look for those confirmation emails.
That would likely be far more negative than what they'd "gain". (Disclosure: Refund Retriever has a similar business model)
How would it be negative?
Big company avoiding honoring its promise to customers when they use a tool to hold big company honest.

(in case my comment was unclear, I'm talking about companies blocking refund services like this)
