Aren't software sales at most retailers final for physical copies? I know that I've never been allowed to return any DVDs or games with the exception of Wal-Mart.

If it hasn't already been opened, you should be able to return it for your money back. If it has, it should be possible to return for another copy if you found out your copy was defective or something. With download codes, there's no way you can return it or ask for a new one. If you tried to tell them it was already a blank code when you bought it, they wouldn't know if you're telling the truth or not.

They can tell if you downloaded it via the account you'd have to create with their digital store. As it is now, all retailers ask you to create a login. These digital purchases would be tied to that and as such you'd be able to download it as much as needed as you already can on these types of stores.

They should implement a return policy like Android does (granted its only 15mins, but that's going to be increased, maybe not the 24hrs it used to be, but something logical like 1hr).
