Yep so strange given it is never easy to get a charge back. Doing one now and it is like pulling teeth. I would heavily chase up a traditional refund before doing a charge back. I suspect some banks are making it too easy.
I’ve been a credit card user for 30 years, and in the first 25 of those years, I only had to resort to chargeback once. In the most recent 5 years, I’ve had to do it about 3 times. Companies in general are just way less responsive now and take their customers for granted way more than in the past.
