MCC 5411: Supermarkets and grocery stores

MCC 5411 classifies merchants recorded as grocery stores, supermarkets. It describes the business accepting the payment, not the exact item you bought.

Most banks show a spending category in the app or statement instead of the four-digit MCC. Use that category to narrow down likely codes, then ask the issuer for the exact code on the posted transaction if you need to confirm it.

Start with the linked spending-category card collection. A card's eligibility and rewards depend on the issuer's terms and its eligible MCCs, so check those rules before choosing.

Card issuers can apply different reward rules to merchant codes, payment channels and excluded transactions. A checkout processed by another merchant account may also appear under another MCC.

MCC 5411 is listed as grocery stores, supermarkets, while MCC 5422 is listed as meat provisioners - freezer and locker. The merchant account that processes the payment determines which code appears.
