I’ve decided to start journal some undecipherable credit card descriptions. For my own future reference.
Maybe it will also help clear up some confusion for others. Feel free to comment with your own strange ones.
“1717 GB VANCOUVER MARI VANCOUVER” – It took me some guessing and testing (while I was on hold with my credit card company) to figure out that this was legitimate, it’s the Gas Bar at the Superstore complex on Marine Drive in Vancouver. I can’t be the only person who couldn’t recognize this charge at first!
“CPC SCP/0000320901359” – If you guessed Canada Post, you win! Seriously? How can you not get charge backs?
Update: Apparently I’m not the only one making a list. TD has one here.
