It probably wouldn’t happen in this specific case give the other circumstances, but a chargeback without making a good faith effort to resolve the issue can also result in DL taking punitive action against the skymiles account, etc.
That has been common advice here at FT from the beginning and isn't nearly as simplistic as most make it out to be.
