First, hang up and call again (if you can stand the waiting times).
Not all customer service agents are the same.
If one agent says no to a refund, another may say yes.
Be polite and remind them it is the law that you receive a refund.

Second, you can file a complaint.

After the DOT received thousands of complaints, it was then forced to remind airlines of their responsibilities, resulting in an increase in refunds.

Although banks prefer customers use this as a last resort when not receiving paid goods/services, if options 1 and 2 fail, this may be your last hope.
Good luck.
