Unfortunately, the "refundable" promise is only as good as the company's finances and word. In the event of bankruptcy, reservation creditors will be at the end of the collection line with nonpriority, unsecured claims. Since priority creditors and those with secured claims typically receive 40-50 cents for every dollar owed them, unsecured claimants almost always receive nothing.
