do you lose points for refunding a game?
you earn points for buying games during the summer sales, and im wondering, do you lost points if you buy a game, then refund it?

What happens to my Steam Points when I refund a game?

When you refund a game, the points you gained from that purchase will be deducted from your account. If that causes your Points balance to go negative, we'll also remove the most recent items and Community Awards (and related tips) you've used points for, until your balance is no longer negative.

however you don't lose points if you gift said game to a friend, and they decline it, giving you your money back .. Spiffing Brit did a video on it not too long ago.

People were even talking about it being fixed in the comments of that video.

the most recent things you bought with the points will be taken until your balance would no longer be a negative number

Then recent awards and items you spend points will be removed as well as recent points themselves.
