You can file a dispute if you haven’t received what you paid for, are having problems with a purchase, or your card has been compromised.
Pending transactions can’t be disputed. You can dispute the transaction after it has been posted.
Before you submit a transaction dispute
Check the merchant’s terms of service
For some purchases (such as flight tickets, hotel reservations, and car rentals), the merchant’s terms of service may state that purchases are non-refundable. In these cases, disputes are likely to be ruled in the merchant’s favour.
Try to solve the issue with the merchant
Dealing directly with the merchant is a much faster way of getting your money back than submitting a dispute.
Even if the merchant never responds to your messages, it’s important that we know that you tried.
Gather evidence
Any information about the transaction and your attempts to contact the merchant will help us prepare a solid case for your transaction dispute.
Gather evidence that shows useful information about your problem, such as transaction details, expected delivery date, and emails you exchanged with the merchant.
You can submit photos, screenshots, and PDF documents. We’re unable to accept videos or audio recordings, so we suggest communicating with the merchant over email or text message.

Transactions that can be disputed
Unauthorized transactions
If your card has been compromised and there are transactions you don’t recognize, you can dispute them. Here’s how to report unauthorized transactions on your card.
If you don’t recognize transactions on your account, freeze your card and then chat with us.
Problems with a product or service
You can dispute purchases where you never received the product or service, or if the product was damaged or different than described by the merchant.
Suggested evidence and documentation
- Screenshots or verification that the product was never received (such as a shipment delivery email)
- Screenshots that show how your purchase is different than described by the merchant
Refund not processed
If you return a product, are promised a refund, but never receive it, you can file a dispute. Since refunds may take a few days to process, wait at least 15 days before disputing the transaction.
Suggested evidence and documentation
- Refund slip or receipt for in-store returned items
- Shipping information or delivery tracking email that shows the product was returned
Duplicate charges
You can dispute purchases where you’ve been charged multiple times for the same order or product. Duplicate purchases can be made either on the same card or on different cards.
Suggested evidence and documentation
- Screenshots, images, or emails that show that only one product was received
- If the duplicate charges were made on multiple cards, provide the transaction history or bank statements for the other cards
Charged for a cancelled subscription
If you've cancelled a subscription but are still charged on the next billing cycle, you can dispute the charge.
Suggested evidence and documentation
- Screenshots or emails that show you’ve requested to cancel the subscription before the billing due date
- Evidence that confirms the cancellation took place before your credit card was charged
Scams
Suggested evidence and documentation
- Any documents, screenshots, or photos that show the details of the scam.
