Refund

I recently purchased an "Anytime Fare" ticket online for a family member for a flight in July, but their plans have since changed.  I went online and cancelled the flight and requested a refund on my credit card.  Does anyone know how long it typically takes for this type of refund to go through?

It might even be there now as a pending transaction. It should be quick like minutes/hours or maybe a day, not weeks.
