Chewy: charged after a free trial
A full Chewy+ fee refund is due if you end the membership within 3 business days of converting from a free trial; later, only if no eligible purchases or benefits were used since the last charge.

Steps
End Chewy+ in your account or by phone within 3 business days of the conversion charge, and ask for the full membership fee refund to the original payment method.
If the refund is refused while you meet the terms, quote the Chewy+ Terms and then dispute the charge with your card issuer.
Facts you can cite
- Deadline
"If you end within 3 business days of signing up for or converting from a free trial to a paid membership", Chewy "will refund your full membership fee on the original method of the payment", but may withhold the value of benefits used in those 3 business days if that value is less than the fee.

- Limit
At other times, Chewy "will refund your full membership fee only if you and your account did not make any eligible purchases" and did not use Chewy+ benefits since your latest Chewy+ membership charge.
