You have 60 days to dispute, so need to be in too much hurry to go that route. If I'm not mistaken, timing becomes a little different when you're dealing with services. E.g.

Thursday I disputed the charge with amex, spoke to rep on phone to explain that it was a prepayment and no good/services have been exchanged.
Sunday morning, I was refunded the $$$ with a sob story that the owner was out of town, hence the delay.

Thanks!

Done, I did an online dispute then called Amex to make sure I did it correctly.

Yes, I sent the vendor an email asking for the status of the refund. I did ask 2x already for the refund in emails.
