Credit Cards / Re: AMEX Return Protection: Did They Make You Return The Item?

Two questions:
1) Are cufflinks considered "jewelry" and therefore excluded?
2) The purchase must be in the US. What about online purchases from non-US merchants?

COVID-19 Discussion Board / Re: VISA denying chargebacks if merchant canceled service due to COVID-19
« on: May 20, 2020, 09:34:54 AM »That could be why visa isn’t getting involved. They don’t want to be the ones litigating contract law.
Nope. There's no dispute on the facts. VISA is making a broad policy that if a merchant cannot deliver due to a government regulation, the risk of loss passes to the buyer/recipient.

Yes, but why is that relevant other than in a lawsuit?

COVID-19 Discussion Board / VISA denying chargebacks if merchant canceled service due to COVID-19
« on: May 20, 2020, 09:02:12 AM »
I paid for a Pesach program with a Chase Visa card and initiated a chargeback because the merchant was only offering a 65% refund. My claim was denied because VISA's policy is that government regulation overides existing polices, so if a program could not open due to COVID-19 it's not considered their fault.
Does anyone have ideas on how to respond to this other than sue the merchant?

I think enough programs screwed over their guests, so they should be in ok financial shape next year.

...and that assumes they are still in business and same location.

« on: April 06, 2020, 02:02:25 PM »I am booked through a company called Vacasa.
They offered me 110% credit and I told them I just want a full refund. They are refusing.
I will try going through cc.
Any luck with the chargeback?

Are the Kosherica Pesach programs still officially on? They are being very quiet about their plans.

Goods For Sale/Trade / Earn $75 while doing me a favor
« on: December 24, 2019, 06:29:53 PM »
Ask: Will pay $75 for anyone that can hook me up with an official repair estimate for a broken printer.
Background: I have a Canon Pixma G4210 that broke (no longer wirelessly connects to a computer and also has a roller that doesn’t work). As the 1 year warranty recently passed, my only hope is the Chase extended warranty. However, Chase requires an official estimate from a service repair place. Speaking to various places, I gather that the cost to repair will probably exceed my $320 cost but none are able to give me an official estimate, just an e-mail or a house call for a high fee. I already tried Canon (manufacturer), Staples (the seller) and a bunch of others in NYC.
Fine Print (not so fine): $75 to be paid in any form requested. Must obtain actual written estimate in pdf format showing cost to repair (or statement that cost to repair exceeds cost of printer), items broken, printer model, address and EIN of repair place.
