Same experience here.
Annoyingly, Namecheap seem to automatically issue a refund when the transfer is unsuccessful.

In normal circumstances, this is good and fair business practice from their side.
In this case however, it means that the offer is now expired for me.

Godaddy is doing whatever they can in order to make the transfer-out as painful as possible. For many people the pain is not worth the couple of bucks you are saving on each domain, so they will just give up. This will probably include me.

Reason for Cancellation :
Canceled - The current registrar has rejected transfer (please contact them for details)

The refund for this cancelled transfer has been issued to your Namecheap account.
