How purchases code (MCC)

  • 5732Electronics storesCommonly reported

    Codes as an electronics store; few cards have a bonus that applies, so most earn their base rate.

A purchase's code is set by the merchant's payment processor and card network, not by your card, and it can differ by location, network and over time (American Express classifies merchants itself). Your statement shows how a purchase actually coded. Last verified October 2026.
