You definitely do not get your points back if you do not purchase an MS tag once drawn. You do not lose them if you purchase a leftover after the July 31st deadline. I've never heard of anyone returning an MS tag after the special draw period. Pretty sure you are locked in at that point just like you can't change your weapon choice if you put in for draws already. I can't see dfw refunding anyone on MS tags.
Out of all the guys I know who live around here this is the first time absolutely none of us have put in for multi-deer. From our point of view, its just totally not worth it. I havent had one for 2 previous years.
One benefit of buying the multi-season tag before applying for quality draws is the ability to put in for a quality hunt area for multiple chances to draw...my example is if you really want an Entiat quality permit then you can put in for the modern firearm permit and the archery permit using your two options for the quality application for one unit...Grade

So (just so I have this straight), I cannot buy a rifle elk tag and put in for a muzzleloader special draw, right? ...or vice-versa...That's the way I have always understood it, but I was just thinking the other day "Why would it matter? If I buy a rifle elk tag, I have to turn my "regular" tag in in order to get the one I drew, right?" (I honestly don't know... in 22 years of applying I have never drawn a quality tag.... )

I live in the Blues, so I've been trying to draw one of the tags here. I have tried putting in for every weapon at one point or another. At this point, I'll keep trying... I know the area and it's right out my back door. Not a fair criticism for Quality Deer. I want a decent mule deer tag anywhere north central. The ones I put in for shouldn't be this hard to get. I just have %$#@ luck in the draws. I put in for the Blue Mountain Foothills Whitetail Tag in the buck category. I know a lot of guys that have drawn that tag 3 or 4 times since I've lived here. I drew it once... with 14 points. WDFW just really hates my Wild ID# I think....
