What they did

A user booked two China Eastern tickets through a booking site, ticketed by Gotogate. After the airline changed the schedule, they asked for a full refund, got written confirmation of 15 to 20 business days, then sent 8 complaint emails over ten days and heard only that the refund would come when the airline paid. Grok Bot made the call to stop waiting and dispute the charge with the bank.

How it went

They say the bank ruled in their favor on Oct 11 and they got the full $1,373.97 back.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Here's my refund history with [booking site]: [dates, written promises, emails]. Tell me whether I should keep waiting or dispute the charge with my bank, based on what they promised and how long it's been. If disputing makes sense, write the dispute with a clear timeline and attach the evidence from my email.
