Your CC does not change what you signed up for. When you book through some discount OTAs they can charge service fees for processing refunds, even for fully refundable tickets, and even if you cancel within 24 hours (this USA rule also does not apply here).

I had Gotogate on one of the previous "sales" from KRT and they were actually way easier to deal with than most airlines. One phone call that took 30 min including wait, 5 weeks wait, and refund was in my account. Meanwhile I have been trying to claw back the IB BOG fare refund for 431 days from IB, and I even physically went to MAD to pay their office a visit...

So it seems in the case Latam cancels the "error fare" bookings, GOTOGATE will still charge a $30 fee for refund processing. Anyone has any luck with disputing this fee via their credit card issuers?

You sigh for Priceline, that’s the only serious site from this group of clown OTAs…

i say go grab some food and drink to congratulate yourself. If you are not flying within a week or so, just stay put till end of the month when we know with 90% confidence if this is gonna fly or not. If it is gonna get cancelled, why bother calling them to switch a seat or order a vegan meal anyway?
And we may not have to wait too long, some mad man I have heard, are heading to MAD as you are reading this.

See this offer at €1000 on iberia.com but it's rejecting payment with 3 different credit cards.
Maybe they realised it is an error in their fare???
Priceline does not have this itinerary in almost any date.

On hold with customer support now.....🙏
