The Visa Merchant Category Code (MCC) lookup webpage was taken down sometime in the past few weeks. We’ve been using that page for years to find out how each merchant codes for the sake of credit card category bonuses. Unknown if it’s down for good or a temporary thing.
Other Options
- Award Wallet has a page with info on specific merchants and which cards earn a bonus on each one.
- We once linked a few PDFs from Visa and Mastercard detailing how they code some merchants.
- Our Payments Workshop tries to track data points on this and other card-related topics. (I haven’t updated it in a while, but there’s still a lot of good info here. I have to update it, just haven’t done it much due to technical problems with the page. Hopefully I’ll update it one of these days.)
