The saga continues: During the three-way phone conversation yesterday between my husband, a Chase credit card employee, and an agent for Pueblo Bonito, at least Pueblo Bonito is acknowledging that the $560 charge was a mistake.
But, how the money is going to be refunded is now the issue. During the call the Chase employee said PB should just issue us a check for the amount but PB says they don't issue checks. PB said since the amount has been disputed it is no longer in their account. Chase says it was rebilled in October and it is in PB's account.
Later in the day we got an email from PB saying the money was not in their account and that Chase should issue the credit. In their email they showed an accounting entry that shows evidence that they don't have the money any more. The entry is a long, long line with several boxes of numbers. The line is so long that when I try to print out the email the whole line doesn't print--even in landscape mode. I wanted to forward the email to Chase but of course they don't accept email communication. I have to send it via their "secure messaging center" on the webpage. I can't make a PDF of the email because when I try that I get only a screen shot of my email page and of course the long string of numbers doesn't show up.
Today I again spoke with the Chase supervisor and she said she was sending PB's bank the information about when the $560 was rebilled and sent back to PB. I hope that will work.
It should be a simple matter to just credit our credit card back. I've sent a message to the PB agents who are tying to help us and I'll see what happens next.
Once we get that money back, you can be sure we're closing that card and getting one with better customer service.
