boestar Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 12 hours ago, Tiburon said: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/airline-refund-policies-credit-card-chargeback-1.5598623 Would-be passengers get around airline refund policies via credit card chargebacks Customers can get chargeback from credit card company if no refund or no response from airline company If a response doesn't come within 15 days or is rebuffed, customers can call the payment card issuer and request a chargeback on the grounds that services they paid for were not rendered. "The burden of proof is now on the carrier," Lukacs said. He recommends asking for a dispute adviser or an agent with a similar title in the credit card department. Clients should insist on a chargeback process even if the bank suggests the matter is between them and the airline or that the tickets were non-refundable — an irrelevant point, Lukacs said. "You need to be really very, very assertive." Credit cards spell out consumer rights in documents online. Most are being declined by the insurance companies for the credit card because the issue was resolved by the airline with a voucher. others are getting 50% if that. The headline is misleading. people are TRYING to get arouond it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it does work, although I have no idea the overall success rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boestar Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 it most definetly does work and I do not know the success rate either. anecdotal evidence of the vocal minority on social media says it does happen to some extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
