The hotel pays the deposit by credit card. In what form will the excess deposit be refunded?

Paying the deposit by credit card is called pre-authorization. When checking out, the deposit will be returned to the original payment card after deducting the room rate.

Pre-authorization only freezes the deposit and does not actually deduct it from the account. The actual expenses to be paid at the time of settlement were really taken away, and the extra deposit was returned to the original credit card.
