What is "CFA*" on my bank statement?
CFA* is a Chick-fil-A card charge, usually from a restaurant purchase or app order.
Merchant: Chick-fil-A | Category: Food Delivery
What Is This Charge?
A charge from Chick-fil-A reflects a purchase at a Chick-fil-A restaurant, drive-thru, kiosk, or mobile app order. Chick-fil-A was founded in 1946, and it operates more than 3,000 restaurants in the United States and Canada. The business category is fast food, and the charge usually appears after you buy food, drinks, or catering items. Some card statements also show this descriptor when you pay through the Chick-fil-A app or a saved payment method.
Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?
This charge appears when you complete a Chick-fil-A purchase with a debit card, credit card, or mobile wallet. It can also appear after an app order for pickup, curbside service, or delivery through a linked account. A second charge can appear if the first authorization was reversed and the final settlement posted later. If you ordered catering, breakfast, or a family meal, the statement line usually matches the restaurant location or the app merchant name.
Typical Charge Amounts
Most Chick-fil-A transactions are between $6 and $18 for one person, and a combo meal often lands around $9 to $14. A family meal or catering order can range from $25 to $150, depending on item count and location. Some card issuers place a temporary authorization hold for $1, $5, or the full order amount before the final charge posts. Delivery orders can cost more because the receipt may include menu items, taxes, service fees, and delivery fees in one total.

Is This Charge Legitimate?
Start by checking your Chick-fil-A receipt, email confirmation, or order history in the Chick-fil-A app. The official app is called Chick-fil-A, and the official website is https://www.chick-fil-a.com. If the amount, date, and location match a recent meal or app order, the charge is usually legitimate. If you do not recognize it, call Chick-fil-A Customer Support at 1-866-232-2040 and ask for the store location tied to the transaction.
How to Dispute or Cancel
1. Review your receipt, app order history, and bank statement to confirm the exact amount and merchant location. 2. If the charge is wrong, contact Chick-fil-A Customer Support at 1-866-232-2040 and ask for a refund or order review. 3. If the order was placed through the app, check the order status in the Chick-fil-A app and save screenshots of the receipt. 4. If the merchant cannot resolve it, call your bank or card issuer and start a dispute right away. 5. For a normal food purchase, there is no subscription to cancel, but you can remove saved cards from the Chick-fil-A app if you do not want future charges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Chick-fil-A charge show as CFA*?
CFA* is a shortened card descriptor used by Chick-fil-A for restaurant purchases, app orders, and some location-based transactions. The store number or city can appear after the prefix, so CFA*1234 or CFA*ATLANTA GA usually points to a specific restaurant or market.
How do I cancel my Chick-fil-A subscription?
Chick-fil-A does not have a standard paid subscription like a streaming service or membership plan. If you saved a card in the app, open the Chick-fil-A app, remove the payment method, and delete any future mobile orders you have not placed yet.
Why is my Chick-fil-A charge a different amount than expected?
The amount can change because of taxes, delivery fees, tips, or a temporary authorization hold that later settles at the final total. A drive-thru order might show one amount at first and a slightly different final charge after the restaurant closes the ticket.
Can a Chick-fil-A charge come from a mobile app order?
Yes, a Chick-fil-A charge can come from a mobile app order, curbside pickup, or a scheduled catering purchase. The statement line may still show CFA* even when the order was placed in the app instead of at the counter.
What should I do if I do not recognize a CFA* charge?
Check your recent receipts, family card usage, and Chick-fil-A app order history first. If nothing matches, call Chick-fil-A Customer Support at 1-866-232-2040 and then contact your bank to dispute the charge if it still looks unauthorized.
