Check your travel insurance to see whether it has some oddball kind of payment for non-cash payments.
I’ve had Priceline prepaid reservations refunded in similar situations. I get the rules are there for a reason.
I checked my card unfortunately I used my Chase Marriott Premier Plus card, the new one which doesn’t have trip interruption coverage. Had I used my Chase Sapphire Preferred there may have been some coverage. I don’t take out specific insurance policies for domestic trips.
