    Yep, you've no right to refund/return if purchase is instore (unless faulty/not fit for purpose etc). Online is different.

    That's for goodwill refunds if you change your mind, faulty items are covered by your statutory legal rights, which mean you get a full refund by the same means you paid, proof of purchase would be required.

    Think that's bad, Sports Direct only refund ANY items to a gift card

    The logic is you can inspect items in store, try them on, etc before buying. So unless found faulty later, the store doesn't have to refund.

    apparently they closed loads of their changing rooms, so even that logic does not hold up. awful company to deal with.

    Yup. In fact they dont even have to offer a refund to a gift card. They are quite within their rights to say 'no refunds at all'.
