My bank was accomodating when I mentioned that I felt it was merchant
fraud (deceptive billing) and they infact agreed becuase they handled
the case differently than a mere disputed transaction.

In america you have to be careful if you threaten to turn someone into
law enforcement if they dont perform a certain action for you its called
blackmail.  There are usually no exceptions in the law itself (although
generally there is in the fact that prosecutors wont file charges under
normal circumstances - a difference between what the law states and how
its enforced).

You normally are required by your cardholder agreement to work it out
with the merchant first, if that fails you do have a fallback of
disputing it.
