So here what's going on..
I've was stupid enough to attempt to transfer some of my domain names to RegisterFly.com some time in March 2009. Unfortunately for me, I didn't know about all sorts of lovely things happening to this dreadful provider.
I've initiated the transfers and left it alone for some time. In few weeks I've noticed that my domains are no longer showing up under Transfer Status page, but neither they showed under Domain Names. Seeing how this could be an issue, I've contacted Customer Service via chat support and IM'ed with HarryW, which can be found here. HarryW returned the amount RegFly charged me as a credit to my account and when I've asked him whether I could get an actual refund he suggested to "request it via Support System".. Satisfied with HarryW's help, I've contacted the RegFly Support.
It's been a while now.. but since my first post dated 2009-05-18, I haven't seem my refund.. Today is 2009-06-12, btw..
This is my entire conversation with RegFly.com customer service tech, via so called "Support System":

If
by they you mean "they, who have the authority" when I'll be waiting.
Although, I must say, how much time does one need to make a decision?

They will email you directly
Client Said

OK,
please let me know the results of your inquiry.
FYI: I do not get any notification, when you reply, so I just keep
checking back every so often. As soon as I login and go to Messaging
Inbox, I get two emails about having a notification of some sort and a
login notice.

I am sending this to a manager to see if they will approve refunding it back as I do not have the authority

But I'd expect you to know this.. unless you don't, in which case
RegFly got things to work on.. and more importantly - acknowledge the
problem, apologize and hope that current customers would hang around,
before getting annoyed and walking away.
Reading this might be frustrating, but look at this from my point.
So I'd like to get my money back, and if you'd like to show me how
great RegFly really is, feel free to give me a single domain transfer
free, so I can evaluate the service more thoroughly, before moving over
rest of my domains.

How long ago was this?

I
was told during chat session that it is possible..
The multiple domain transfer have failed and disappeared dfsdfjsdlfjsdlfsdjflksjffrom "in
progress" page, either system (old or new). I've asked a question about
a coupon not working, but it was left unanswered for weeks and still is
(although now it's irrelevant). I've contacted CS (Harry) via chat to
figure out what's happening and he refunded applied the balance of the
transaction to my account manually. Apparently I was caught between
systems. All my transfers have failed with no fault of my own. If
RegFsdkjfsdklfjsdlfjsdlkfsjfy would give me an additional $50 credit, thus apologizing for the
trouble, I would give you another shot.. Otherwise, please refund
whichever card I've used.

We do not refund account balances. You may use it towards products or services

Hello,
Please
return the balance amount on my account to my AMEX card, which I
believe was used during original failed transaction. Please let me know
if that is not possible and other means would have to be arranged.
Thanks you.
