Default Spring Mountain Ranch / Ron Fellows - CC question

Folks,

Sorry about the new thread, but weird question.

For the 2-day Corvette Owners School, if I use a Mastercard/Visa Credit card, does the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch charge show up as a travel or hotel or some such? Could someone that has paid the fee on a credit card check and let me know?

The context here is that I'd like to use a card like my Chase Sapphire Reserve visa or a Barclays Arrival+ Mastercard if it codes as travel because I would like to get points/cashback on it or use some of my points/credits on it (for the Arrival+ at least).

Thanks in advance!

Not sure on MC/VISA; I charged mine on AMEX. I just checked and it shows up as "Merchandise & Supplies - Mail Order"

My Wells Fargo Visa says "Spring Mountain Driving". I can't see anything else that categorizes the charge.

Thank you both.

Would welcome more data points on visa and MC if you can see the charge category. I'm gonna assume till then that this won't likely show up as a travel charge.

you can call them ask them what they list themselves as with their credit card payment vendor. They might not know, but it can't hurt to ask.

You can also have them run a small charge on your card followed by a refund and check for yourself (if they'll do it)

that doesn't show the company "type", and it's the phone number without the last 3 digits. CONTACT SPRING MOUNTAIN - 1.800.391.6891

Yes, I asked them and they didn't quite have a clear idea. "I asked our accounting department and they said we did not specify a category.
That would be something you would have to check with your bank once the charge comes through."
