What is the CIC PREMIUM charge on my credit card?

What the CIC PREMIUM charge usually means

A charge labeled CIC PREMIUM is most commonly tied to a purchase from CIC, a home and mattress retailer operating at cic.cl. "Premium" is used by CIC as a product line name for beds, mattresses, toppers, and related home goods, so the descriptor can appear as a shortened payment reference rather than a full product title. In many cases, this is a legitimate card-present or online retail transaction, not a membership fee.

If you recently bought a mattress, base, topper, or furniture item from CIC directly or through a marketplace checkout that routes payment to CIC, the descriptor can post as CIC PREMIUM. Depending on your bank, the statement text may be abbreviated and may not include the full store name, product model, or order number.

Why it might appear on your statement

• You purchased a CIC Premium-branded mattress or topper online.
• A family member or authorized card user completed the order.
• An order was split into multiple captures (for stock, shipping, or partial fulfillment).
• A pre-authorization converted into a final posted transaction.
• The merchant descriptor was truncated by your issuer to CIC PREMIUM.

Although this descriptor is usually linked to a normal retail purchase, always verify if the amount or date looks unfamiliar. Card statements can lag by one to three days, and posted descriptions can differ from what appears at checkout.

How to verify the charge quickly

• Check your email inbox and spam folder for order confirmations from CIC.
• Compare the posted amount with your online order total, including shipping.
• Review household purchases, especially if multiple people use the same card.
• Look up order status through CIC support at their contact page.
• Check whether the amount resembles common one-time purchases rather than subscriptions.

How to cancel or stop future charges

CIC PREMIUM is generally a one-time retail descriptor, so there is usually no recurring plan to cancel. If a charge is still pending, contact CIC support immediately and request order cancellation before shipment. If goods have already shipped, follow the merchant return flow and keep all return-tracking evidence.

CIC lists customer-service and post-sale contact options at cic.cl/contacto.html. For refunds, their posted policy page indicates processing timelines and conditions. Refund timing can depend on when the returned item is received and inspected.

When and how to dispute with your bank

If you cannot match the charge to any authorized purchase, first contact the merchant and request written confirmation of what was billed. If the merchant cannot validate the transaction, file a card dispute with your issuer promptly. Use the dispute reason that best matches your case, such as unauthorized transaction or merchandise/services not received. Provide screenshots, order correspondence, and delivery records.

For best results, report suspicious activity quickly and ask your bank whether a replacement card is recommended. Acting early reduces the chance of additional unauthorized charges and improves the odds of recovery.
