If you have documentation of the double charge and of your attempts to get a refund, your credit card company will certainly do a chargeback and return your funds.
I would begrudgingly take the loss to continue having access to their marketplaces. These companies have notoriously terrible customer service and they don’t really have any reason to fix it.
Besides get use to the horror of not ever using Uber when they close up shop or raise prices which is coming soon and would have come sooner if they could bankrupt lyft.
Imagine thinking you need Uber to live your life...
Honestly, I've given the money that I spent on Uber to Lyft (and Carey car services).
It's not the end of the world.
WTF? Taxis are expensive. Destitute people take the bus, ride bicycles (in various conditions), or walk.
The ADA requires 'paratransit' service for persons whose disabilities prevent them from using accessible, non-commuter, fixed route bus service. In many cities paratransit is handed off to taxi services.
Even on that article, the 2nd to last paragraph was:
> Even after a month of digging through public records, scouring the internet for clues, repeatedly calling Airbnb and confronting the man who called himself Patrick, I can’t say I’ll be leaving the platform, either. Dealing with Airbnb’s easily exploitable and occasionally crazy-making system is still just a bit cheaper than renting a hotel.
With another platform offering rentals but taking a 30% cut, a trick I found was to google the address or name, often they'd be listed there as well. Then I'd call them and ask if they have a room, and if they could offer me a discount (I was travelling around Iceland, many people doing the ringroad would just show up in the afternoon/evening and leave the next morning). Obviously this doesn't work with anonymous airbnb providers.
