Most (...maybe even all) PCC's require payment of their charges BY CHECK (i.e., no credit cards), right at the time of contract signature, specifically in order to AVOID any future possibility of their fees being later disputed "after the fact".
In addition, verbal representations which are not also reflected in writing within the associated contract have no legal or binding meaning whatsoever anyhow. Accordingly, verbal inaccuracies (intentional or not) would be most unlikely to be a valid basis for dispute of a credit card charge (keep in mid that a formal written contract IS always executed, in person, for each and every PCC transaction). PCC's and "upfront fee marketers" are completely and distinctly different entities utilizing entirely different practices.
That much now corrected and clarified, I still have to wonder why anyone would inquire of the resort about the possibility of a "deedback" only AFTER paying out $4,000 to a PCC. I would think that someone would want to conclusively know (with absolute certainty, directly and ONLY right from the resort itself) the resort position and practices on "deedbacks" --- long BEFORE considering paying out a dime (let alone thousands of dollars) to any other third party...
