Fidelity Card - Now coding as ATM cash advance
I was checking my Fidelity card transactions and rewards and noticed that as of 10/29 my card purchases were coming up as ATM cash Advances or Bank Transaction.
To see this I had to go into the details of the transaction. The reason I did that was that under type it showed dollars as opposed to the shopping cart it normally showed.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

This happened to me before when they sent new card to me due to "fraud" situation. I called and the CSR told me that on their end, it was not coded as Cash Advance. When the statement closed, no cash advance consequences and everything back to "purchases." No worries.

My FIA CC was compromised on 10/29/2014. I live in San Diego area and my card was used in San Jose, Santa Clara and Sunnyvale that day. The thief stole about $4K buying stuff at Home Depot, Safeway and Lucky.
Now all the charges and disputes are coded as a cash advance. Even my purchase of a AGC and Starbucks coffee is coded as a CA. My CA limit remains the same. I hope it's a glitch in their system.

Pure coincidence? I used the FIA Amex to buy $500 Paypal cards @ Walgreens. After doing a lot of those transactions without problems all of a sudden a purchase declined on the 28th or 29th. I paid with another card and left, then I saw the email they sent me with the fraud alert. Had to call in and confirm like a hundred recent transactions to the computer to reopen my card... Haven't used it since though as I got my OBC the next day.
