Yeah I got similar text when I bought rail ticket.
It went through following day though so no free travel 
I got similar with a vending machine at work that doesnāt vend very well.
Chase doesnāt charge me pending a refund, just takes the charge away. Every other card I have used has a pending charge for a while until it drops off.
Fine for a bag of crisps, but wouldnāt be great if it were a larger purchase.

Anyone passing by one of the locations please report what this is actually like. Sadly theyāre not giving away much on their socials and I donāt think Iāll be visiting any of the places
Edit: some more info here. Ā£5 gift card and prize draws. Nice:

Discovered today via another forum that you can use an NFC app to read the full card number of your physical Chase card - means you can add it to Airtime Rewards and similar services.

Just managed to manually add my chase virtual card details to Google Pay and it provisioned successfully. Even took me to the chase app which asked me to enter my pin number to activate the card on Google pay.
I havenāt actually tried it on a shop yet but I assume an official launch isnāt far off

Yep me too, added my Chase card to gPay earlier today - didnāt receive any notification that this was now available, just saw the option when I was looking for my card details on app I think. Wasnāt concentrating so canāt quite remember!
Will see if it works tomorrow!
Same here. Added okay.
Now to try use it 
How did the direct debit set up go?
Nothing in the app yet; but nothing from the company to say it didnāt get set up. So we shall see.
In my chase app, I pulled down to see the card details and there was an Add to GPay button. I clicked it, it worked like monzo one, and then was gone. Chase added to GPay.
Hooray. Can stop carrying the card around I think.

I think I saw a TV advert for Chase yesterday. Didnāt seem particularly special and wouldnāt encourage me to look up the bank.
Very little on this forum ever appears special! Weāre likely not the target audience for a bankās campaign, given we know about it already.
People want stability with a bank, they want the mundane, they want the recognisable and donāt want to think much of their bank.
Sure, most of us here like more than that, like the new features and the flashy ways to do things in innovative ways, but that really isnāt how the rest of the country (particularly the older generations) think - broadly.

If it was the advert that Iāve seen - itās heavily promoting the one thing that actually the general public will understand and care about - the 1% cashback on everything (* conditions apply).
Itās people being told they get cashback on their latteās, and on their holidays and other stuff.

Youāre already on a banking forum every day. Youāre not the target audience.

There was just nothing attention grabbing about the advert. That is what I mean by special. Thereās no reason for someone to watch it and go āI might look them upā.

I mentioned this in the Christmas thread, itās quite a bummer when merchants fiddle with their MCCs to get lower/higher fees or different terms. I got my first order in from Patch but was not eligible for cashback because they categorise themselves as āprofessional/membership organisationsā
Itās rare, but off putting that I have to play MCC lottery with the odds unknown
