I recevied the email. The thing is I cut up my cards and threw them out after the first time I used it. I think there is maybe $1 or so left on the card.

I decided to call up, prompted by a reminder SMS. I was on hold for 45 minutes but eventually got through and arranged the refund. In all honesty, it probably wasn't worth the wait on the phone when I found out the amount, but I am getting it back and without fees.
