I also will never purchase a digital download game again.

Thats why i just think of them as rentals. Eventually the 360 live servers will be shut down. When this happens all digital games and DLC purchased will no longer be available.

A good solution would be a system where you could surrender your license to a game in exhange for a good discount on another game which would essentially be a trade-in system

Short answer for most cases is no. There have been some promotions by Activision where if you bought Destiny or either of the two last Call of Duty games prior to a certain date, you would get the Xbox One version for free - and that cut-off date for Destinty
and CoD:AW is on the 15th of this month. Some DLC for certain games will also carry over, like Dance Central, Rocksmith 2014, and Pinball FX2 but the majority won't. Minecraft you can upgrade for $5 if you already have it on the 360. Some Season Passes also
had dual license that expired over time, Destiny and CoD:AW are current applicable titles but will also expire on the 15th. Nearly every other game you will have to purchase again if you want the Xbox One version.

Unfortunately no as the game was not purchased digitally, and it's a promotion for a digital purchase of the game.

As mentioned some digital purchases can be refunded as long as they meet the requirements needed.

Here is the FAQ for digital purchases-

the digital version will require a digital licence meaning the game will need to be purchased digitally. any dlc content purchased will be saved to your account and will not require further purchase.

So you own the game both on disc and as a separate digital purchase? Can you share a screenshot of the digital purchase history to confirm your game? I am confused as to why there would be a digital purchase since the game needs physical accessories in order to play, which you obviously would not get when making a digital purchase.

For digital games here is the relevant paragraph from microsoft’s terms of sale:

For complete details on refunds for digital game offers, Xbox apps (excluding movies and tv apps), digital gaming bundle offers, and digital durable and consumable gaming offers, such as games season passes, virtual currency, and microtransactions,
whether made available through the Xbox console device or on your PC (collectively “Digital Game Products”), see our Digital Game Purchase Refund Terms page https://support.xbox.com/billing/payment-and-purchases/digital-game-purchase-refund-terms.

Here is Microsofts policy on digital games, (which is the above link)

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/billing/payment-and-purchases/digital-game-purchase-refund-terms

I think the only solution is to request a refund again, but Microsoft does say digital purchases are final and are only reviewed under certain circumstances.
