    A chargeback on what grounds?

    You can't revoke consent for transactions already processed!

    Not sure what a chargeback would achieve anyway, they'd simply defend it - and probably successfully.

    It's of poor taste to advice posters to blatantly abuse a system to effectively defraud a company of funds rightly paid to them through no fault of their own.

    I would say you've got lucky. You went down your normal chargeback route without thinking about it properly. Now when brought up on this you've managed to find a term and condition that will mean a chargeback would work.

    However you hadn't read this before your original post. ;)
