Effectively, a cash transfer from their CC to their bank account

Answer:
I actually think it's against the card association regulations - According to page 471 of the Visa regs ( http://usa.visa.com/download/merchants/visa-international-operating-regulations-main.pdf ): Credit and Refund Restrictions A Merchant must provide a credit refund in connection with a Transaction by a Credit Transaction Receipt, not by cash or check. The only exceptions are Airlines, if required by law or applicable tariff. Effective 1 January 2011, a Merchant must not: ⢠Accept payment from a Cardholder for the purpose of depositing funds to the Cardholder's account ⢠Process a Credit Transaction Receipt without having completed a previous retail Transaction with the same Cardholder The loading of value to a Visa Prepaid Card that has been designated for participation in the Visa Prepaid Load Service by the Issuer is excluded from these restrictions.

Yes, it is legal and very common. A casino is an example of where this is often seen, but essentially all ATMs support this as well. It's a cash-advance or quasi-cash transaction on the card. Depending on who you are and how the transaction is handled, you may need to consider whether it's allowed by card association rules. In general, it is.
