Unclear returns policy

I purchased a few items recently from the Sandton City store and two days later went to return one item. I was only then informed that their returns policy is to issue a gift card or credit the stattafords account. When I asked where you are informed of this I was told on the back of the slip which I had actually looked at prior to trying to return an item. The slip states that they will exchange or refund any item in the form of a gift card or account credit. No where does it stipulate a stattafords account. This policy on the back of the slip is clearly open to interpretation given my view is that this is my bank account as it had always been in the past. This is shocking customer service and will isolate customers I certainly for one will no longer shop at there.
