Alright, I have a puzzle for you nerds.
- I have the SYW card, so does my friend.
- Recently, we each used our SYW credit card to buy physical gift cards from CardCash.com. We are both in the US and we both made the order on a PC, in browser, using the card directly (not PayPal or anything).
- The charge shows up on my statement as "CARDCASH 8002274214 NJ"
- The charge shows up on my friend's statement as "CARDCASH.COM BRICK NJ"
Why does it show up differently on our two statements?
- My guess is that this is something on the merchant's end. Does that sound right?
- Is there typically someone manually tagging each transaction as it comes through? I'm guessing no.
Some more detail:
- I don't think it's a timing thing. I actually made 2 transactions, one a week before my friend and one a few days after. Both times it showed up as "CARDCASH 8002274214 NJ" instead of - "CARDCASH.COM BRICK NJ"
- I did buy different things than my friend. My transactions were each under $50, one for Speedway Fuel an one for Walmart. My friend's transaction was between $50 and $100, for Golden Corral.
