I've noted that people quickly advise others to issue a chargeback as a resort to "win" against a company that has supposedly "wronged" them, even in cases where the company fulfilled its contractual obligations and no fraud whatsoever was committed. Here's a word of advice: do not issue a chargeback against any company you ever want to do business with in the future.
While this is arguably less a problem with WalMart - issuing a chargeback won't get you banned from their physical stores - a chargeback is especially something be avoided with every vendor where you have an "account" of some sorts, except if you don't care about being banned (permanently).
The examples are numerous. Issuing a chargeback against car rental companies can put you on their DNR (Do Not Rent) list[0]. Issuing a chargeback against Amazon may result in a permanent ban (including loss of access to your Kindle library and even your AWS account)[1]. Issuing a chargeback against Sony for a purchase over PSN may get you banned from PSN[2].

- Simon_says 9y agoThat's good information to be aware of, but chargebacks should never be the first recourse, and often at the point in time when the consumer is pursuing a chargeback, they likely want nothing more to do with the offending company, anyways.
