ByCut to the Chase—How To Get a Chase Refund
Chase is an American investment bank based in New York. It’s ranked as the seventh-largest bank in the world and holds assets of over $2.5 trillion.
Getting refunds can be a challenge when using Chase. There’s no guarantee that you’ll get your money back, even when you’re in the right. DoNotPay can streamline the process and make your chargeback request successful.
What Is the Chase Refund Policy?
Chase customers can dispute charges and request refunds in various situations. The most common reasons for disputes include Charge errors and Fraudulent charges.
What Constitutes a Charge Error?
Charge errors are transactions that you recognize, but their terms were not fulfilled. You can dispute a charge error if:
- You canceled a recurring subscription
- A product was delivered late or didn’t arrive at all
- The charge is higher than the amount on your receipt
- You are dissatisfied with the product
- It was a double charge
What Constitutes a Fraudulent Charge?
Fraudulent charges weren’t made by the cardholder or a person authorized to use the card. Before you start a dispute over a fraudulent charge, you should:
- Confirm that the charge wasn’t made by someone with authorization to use your card
- Check if a familiar merchant used the card under a different name for billing purposes
Lost or stolen cards should be reported to Chase immediately. The bank can freeze your account and prevent further fraudulent charges from going through.
Disputing Charges With Chase
If you are trying to get your money back for an unsatisfactory purchase, you can request a refund from the merchant, or you can choose to file for a chargeback. The former implies that you will negotiate with the seller and come to an agreement regarding the refund. The latter is between you and your bank. You can argue that you weren’t given proper service and that the charge should be nullified.
Chase strongly encourages customers to communicate with merchants before they decide to dispute charges. If the merchant doesn’t correctly apply their cancel and refund policy, the bank will most likely take your side and grant you a chargeback.
When using a Chase credit card, you can request returns on retail purchases and get a full chargeback, with a few exceptions. Some retailers will only offer store credit as compensation for a product return.
Returns on purchases made internationally will incur a small fee. For most credit cards, including the ones issued by Chase, it’s around three percent of the total value of the purchase.
How Long Does Chase Take To Process a Refund?
For credit card disputes, it can take up to 60 days for the funds to be returned to your account. Debit card disputes take around 90 days to resolve. Chase may ask for additional information and evidence to support your dispute during this time.
When returning products to retailers, Chase will reimburse the cost on your credit card. It can take some time to process the refund, depending on the merchant and their return policy.
