Consider calling the merchant first, as they may resolve your claim faster (we may also require information from the merchant to process a claim, so contacting them directly may save you time).
Only posted transactions can be disputed (pending charges are temporary and may change). If you have any immediate concerns about a pending charge, contact the merchant directly.
The merchant's contact information is typically found on your receipt or billing statement.
Most transactions must be disputed within 60 days of the date of your statement on which the error appeared. If you did not provide your account information to the merchant in question and suspect that your information was stolen contact privacy & security customer service immediately.
While our online process to dispute a charge is the easiest and fastest way for you to submit a claim, you may also contact us by phone or mail with credit card billing inquiries.
