How purchases code (MCC)

  • 5912Drug stores and pharmaciesCommonly reported

    Codes as a drug store, so grocery rates usually don't apply (except cards whose grocery rate includes drugstores).

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.
