Chances are that is simply the card issuer giving a credit and not going through the chargeback process. If the latter, you would see a temporary credit which would then become permanent once adjudicated with the vendor.
Depending on your value as a customer to the card issuer, there is some amount of goodwill credit allocated. But, don't make the mistake of believing that this affects the property itself.
