Merchants who accept Mastercard credit cards have an assigned merchant code that is determined by the merchant or its processor based on the kinds of products and services they primarily sell. GreenState makes every effort to identify relevant merchant codes that fit into one of the bonus points categories of purchases. A purchase will not earn extra bonus points if the merchant’s code is not eligible. In some cases, even though a merchant may sell items that fit within a bonus category, if the merchant does not have a merchant code in that bonus category the purchase will not earn extra points. Purchases made through third-party payment accounts, mobile card readers, mobile wallets or other similar technologies may not qualify for bonus points if the technology is not set up to process the purchase with a merchant code that has been identified as falling within a bonus points category. The accepted MCC codes by category are: Gas: 5169, 5172, 5541, 5542; Grocery: 5411, 5422, 5441, 5451, 5462, 5499; Airlines: 3000–3299, 4511; and Hotels: 3501–3834
