Consumer Narrative
I have a credit card with JP Morgan Chase ( Southwest Rewards Card ). The card is connected to my XXXX account that I use to make payments, for example, to my XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX for pizza parties, teacher gifts and similar. On XX/XX/2021 I made a {$10.00} contribution to the XXXX XXXX via XXXX to contribute to the cost of treats for the XXXX party. When I checked my chase credit card statement, in addition to the {$10.00} payment and the normal 3 % fee for using a credit card, I had been charged an additional {$10.00} " XXXX XXXX '' and {$0.00} " cash advance interest '' by Chase. I called Chase and they informed me that XXXX payments were now treated as " cash advances '' on my credit card. They confirmed this was true, although no cash was actually ever advanced. This is not the type of transaction that I would expect to be subject to a steep cash advance fee and cash advance interest. I expressed my concern and surprise that this had not been disclosed in advance so that I could have made an informed decision as to how to transfer the funds. Chase advised that it was XXXX that caused the transaction to be treated as a cash advance, and that Chase did not have any obligation to disclose that a {$10.00} XXXX payment would be subject to Chase 's ( not XXXX 's ) additional {$10.00} cash advance fee plus interest at 28 %. I feel like I agreed to the 3 % fee for using a credit card to make a XXXX payment. That fee was disclosed and I understood it. I did not, however, at any point have a reasonable warning, disclosure or opportunity to consider the additional {$10.00} cash advance fee with interest. This seems like an incredibly deceptive and abusive practice employed by Chase to charge XXXX separate fees ( 3 % for using a credit card, {$10.00} cash advance fee and {$0.00} interest at an APR of 28 % ) in connection with a single transaction where I intended to send {$10.00} to a XXXX XXXX
