MCC

I have a credit card that offers cash back for recurring bill payments. 

Public Mobile is one of the bills I pay recurring every month.

I noticed that I do not receive the full cash back amount.

Contacted the card company and says that Public Mobile has not set their MCC to bill payment so I will not be receiving the full cash back amount. 

MCC means Merchant Category Codes

The Question:

1. What is the MCC for Public Mobile?

 

Thank you

It is probably coded as telecomunications, but not recurring.  If you can find a grocery store or gas station who sells vouchers without extra fee, merchant code there will allow higher cashback on some credit cards.

No. The 30 day term floats around. Some months have 30 days. Some 31. One 28/9. Your renewal date is generally always changing.

I would add further to wetcoaster...recurring payments are usually the same amount and usually the same day. Public Mobile is not the same day so it can't really be a recurring payment..

@PublicEcho  - Public mobile is not a recurring bill payment.  This issue has been brought up several times before.  If you do a search in the community for recurring bill payment, you will see multiple topics discussing this.

Sorry...

Since Public Mobile is no frills prepaid and has a 30 billing cycle (as opposed to monthly on the same day as with most other providers), the feature you are looking for is not available here.
