The short answer
Lead with a one-paragraph summary naming the reason code and answering it directly. Attach evidence in the order the code requires, label every document, and include transaction identifiers on each page. Reviewers spend minutes, not hours — a wall of unlabelled screenshots loses winnable cases.
What persuades
Specific, verifiable facts: AVS match, signed delivery at the billing address, IP and device matching prior orders, timestamped terms acceptance, and evidence the customer used the service after the disputed date.
What does not
Emotional narrative, business hardship, general policy statements, and evidence unrelated to the code cited. None of it changes the outcome.
Key takeaways
- Answer the specific code in the first paragraph
- Label and cross-reference every document
- Verifiable facts beat narrative every time
