Merge Academy AGAIN took my gems & I got NOTHING -- Twice in 2 days.

In collecting what I would call timed gifts -- the trashcan one where you can choose to pay 10 gems to waive the hold  -- I did that 2 times in the last 2 days -- and used it to purchase merges -- and it did NOT increase my merge moves but DID reduce my gems by 10 both times.

How do I either get my 2 x 10 gems back -- or give me 45 x 2 = 90 merges as were purchased please.

Thank you very kindly !!!
