Chargeback Deadline Calculator
Track a network or issuer-confirmed dispute window from the correct trigger event, with optional long-stop and as-of checks. Sensitive inputs stay in your browser.
Chargeback clocks differ by network, reason code, trigger event and party. This planner applies only the rule basis entered; it does not determine dispute rights. Review note: Confirm the issuer rule, reason code and trigger before relying on a date.
Context matters.
- Contact the issuer promptly; consumer billing-error notices, network chargebacks and merchant representment are different processes.
- Expected delivery, service cancellation, transaction processing and discovery dates are not interchangeable trigger events.
Sources & scope
The calculation guide and this source trail show what the result means, where the rule came from and when it was last reviewed. This is source-and-calculation QA, not a claim of medical, legal, tax or other professional review; time-sensitive decisions still belong with the linked authority.
A visible path from input to answer.
Track a network or issuer-confirmed dispute window from the correct trigger event, with optional long-stop and as-of checks. The page keeps the calculation scope and its limits beside the result so the output can be checked, copied or revisited.
- Read the record. The calculator uses Rule basis, Confirmed trigger date, Confirmed dispute limit (calendar days), Confirmed long-stop date and Review date and 2 additional fields supplied in the form.
- Apply the scope. It applies the Card-network and issuer dispute planning — reason code, trigger event and current issuer procedure control reference and the explicit date, unit and counting conventions shown in the result.
- Expose the checkpoints. Intermediate rows, warnings and timeline events stay visible; the emphasized row identifies the primary checkpoint when one exists.

Calculation purpose: Track a network or issuer-confirmed dispute window from the correct trigger event, with optional long-stop and as-of checks. This is a high-sensitivity reference output; the linked authority or qualified professional controls the final decision.
Calendar inputs use plain year-month-day semantics. Leap days, month ends, date-pair order and unsupported dates are checked before the result is shown.

What to know before using the result.
Do all card disputes have a 120-day deadline?
No. Network, issuer, reason code, transaction type and trigger event can change the period; 120 days is shown only as a labeled Visa planning reference.
Which date starts a chargeback clock?
It may be processing, delivery, expected service or another rule-defined event. Enter only the trigger confirmed for the actual dispute.
Does the result extend my consumer rights?
No. Contact the issuer promptly; this page does not create or preserve a dispute right.
