Envelopes are a few pennies. Paper is very inexpensive. Laser toner, dunno cost per page.... Someone's time to research this and authorize payment...

and if everyone all received similar small amounts of refund, they'd be out millions, unless of course they demanded repayment of any overpayments

Reader's Digest (ex employer) used to send out .10c cheques as part of their promotion strategy. People did indeed take them to their bank and deposit them. The bank statement (for the .10c cheque account) made rather monotonous reading. .10c .10c .10c .10c .10c 10c 10c 10c 10c $20,000.10c .10c .10 .10c .10c ......
