If I Do A Credit Card Charge Back, Will Airlines Ban Me?
I made an AA award reservation on the phone but the outsourced Philippino AA agent got the dates wrong, so as soon as I got the record locator, I canceled the AA award flight.
I don’t even think the ticket was processed.
The miles were refunded but for some reason, American Airlines didn’t refund the seat selection fee or taxes automatically.
It has been a few weeks so I called into AA with the record locator to get a refund and they say they can’t find the original record locator, so the AA rep told me to dispute the charges with my credit card company via chargeback.
I said I didn’t want to get banned for doing a credit card chargeback but she laughed and said it was okay.
Do you think I will get banned for doing airline chargeback?
It is $228, so not a small amount but also not worth getting chargeback ban from AA.

I don’t know about AA but on Vueling (the low-cost carrier of Iberia), I made a booking and didn’t know they don’t do the 24 hour free cancelation like in the US.
I filed a chargeback with AMEX.
It was eventually denied and Vueling banned my email address from booking tickets, so I had to make a new one.
Thankfully I didn’t have any miles in the account.

The exact same thing happened to me.
No one could find this.
I had to hang up and call again and then it was located by the next agent.
Took me two tries.

100% you’ll get shut down from AAdvantage.
Do not dispute.

You will not get banned.
AA has to provide a valid document of the transaction.
Recently had to dispute fraud charges after the MGM hack and it was fine.

My best advice is to check your credit card statement, there should be a ticket number on there next to the transaction.
With that number, you can either call AA or can see the receipt online.

With that, you can then file an AA refund request online.
If that doesn’t work, then file a chargeback.
