I will wait and have my mom check how it posts officially, but did not sound promising. Anyone else with United Chase CC experience?

As a note before people get on me for it, I know that so far everyone's Chase cards (including my personal CSP) have officially posted as purchase, but I have not had a Chase rep tell me before that it was a cash advance.
