[GNC] Fwd: What's the actual usage of "Default Chargeback Project"?

[Adrien Monteleone]

I haven't used the feature, but are you certain that part of the $30 
cash expense is charged to the card, or rather that the amount charged 
to the card is the Glue expense + $5 — that is, $5 "*Addition* to Card" 
(presumably for some other reason, such as your own processing fee, etc.)

Regards,
Adrien
