DO NOT CALL CHASE ABOUT THIS
You might want to read more about this hear. http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/10/02/jpmorgan-discovers-further-cyber-security-issues/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0
Oct 2nd- State of CC Loading to Serve
except to ask for a $0 cash advance limit. This can also be done via secure message.
Some Chase cardholders have reported a change in their cash advance limit after a pending charge appears for their Serve load, and they presume it means the Serve load is a cash advance. No one has reported an actual cash advance fee yet, only a pending charge of $200. This could change but this situation has happened before! In the past, such charges eventually turn into ordinary charges and the cash advance goes away.
You cannot dispute a charge while it's pending, so there's no point in asking Chase about anything that hasn't posted. No one has reported a cash advance fee, and unless you have one do not call Chase.
There are reports of a change in cash advance limits after a Serve load with the following cards::
There are also reports of NO cash advance when using the following cards. Note the overlap:
Note that some of the reports appear in the Serve thread.

My Chase CSP declined the transaction so I switched to my Chase SW card and it went through fine (no cash advance that I can tell).
Had to send in a copy of the card and drivers license. Bummer if this goes away too then I won't have any easy MS left. I only did/do Amazon and this, others are too much work for me

apart from the ca fee, be careful to not get shut down by chase for MS. they have stepped up their shut downs and now even included in their new apps. they shut for number of things not just one. i wouldn't do any ms on chase cards

Everyone,
Please be aware -- chase is now coding as of today amex serve transactions as a cash advance. My transaction was declined, and after calling in to CS, found out it is being coded as a cash advance.
I luckily had the foresight to set my cash advance limit to $0, but looks like Chase is dead.

There are reports of no cash advance today on:
- UA Explorer Visa
- UA Explorer MC
- Sapphire Preferred
- Southwest Visa
- Also Barclay, Citi cards (Prestige), Fidelity AMEX
There are reports of a cash advance today on:
- UA Club
- UA Explorer
- Ink Bold Visa
- Sapphire Preferred
- Also a Capital One card
As you can see it's not even consistent.
Finally, in the past sometimes Chase has posted these as cash advance at first. After a few days they get changed to a regular charge. If anyone actually got a cash advance fee, you might want to share that.

My SW Visa load subtracted $200 from my Available CA limit. Can you set CA to $0 online or do you need to call in?

It seems like you should include a little more information if you're going to start a new thread. You didn't mention the type of card for example. NOT EVERYONE is getting a cash advance from Chase, as mentioned in the Serve thread.

I loaded $500 x 2 with my CSP. First load was yesterday (normal purchase) - Second load this morning (cash advance). I'm pissed!
I will request reimbursement from Chase if indeed true.

That's not relevant. Same thing happened with the Buxx. Still doesn't post as a CA. When someone's ACTUALLY POSTS as a CA, then we can all flip out. Until then, this is just someone noticing something that has already been happening and drawing conclusions that may or may not be warranted.

Most probably Serve was forced by VISA (payment scheme) to change their MCC code to reflect the true nature of their business.
MasterCard is likely to follow their big brother example as they often do.
Some credit card issuers may still qualify this new MCC as purchase
