Original Post: April 2017 – Updated: May 2022
We had a charge on our USAA Visa that read:
ATLANTA BB-CLUB ATLANTA GA $12.00
Neither of us could figure out what it was. There was no merchant phone number. The merchant category was: Fast Food Restaurants (QPS). The transaction was dated Friday, but we had not been to any fast food places.
I spent about 15 minutes trying to figure it out. Google suggested some bar-b-q places in Atlanta.
So I put it in dispute. The mechanism for dispute is pretty limited. I could not just ask for a merchant phone number or full merchant name, but I figured the dispute would get me that.
The next day I figured it out:
Atlanta Braves Baseball Club.
We had been to the Braves game the night before (Thursday.) Our tickets included some food allowance, which created some confusion, and we’re guessing that was one of the food counters. I contacted USAA to cancel the dispute. The stadium should consider reworking the merchant ID that transactions display the word “Braves”. May save some dispute work.
The new stadium at SunTrust Truist park was impressive. The weather was great. The food was ok, but very pricey. Unfortunately the Braves lost.
Go Atlanta BB-Club!

Thank you. I was very confused too. This post solved my problem!
I wish had did more research before I canceled my card, this post helped me out. Most people would do what I did, cancel card, then do follow up. The Braves really needs to fix this.
THANK YOU! Couldn’t for the life of me figure out what these charges were!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful investagative work! I had no idea what all those charges were either (fun but quie a bit may I add). Go Sherlock!! 🙂
Thank you! I was canceling our cards! And, yup, we saw the Braves play Sunday!
Thank-you, I was definitely confused….. Now it’s clear.
Awesome, I was about to dispute two charges. I read this and remembered I was at the Braves game on Tuesday night. This time they won! You are correct it would be nice if the world “Braves or at least Sun Trust” would be on the charges.
Thanks! Solved a mystery for me too!
THANK YOU! Was on the phone with the bank when I decided to goggle….you solved it for me!
Thank you! I agree that the Braves should list something more descriptive than Atlanta-BB. It had me scratching my head.
I just dealt with this very same issue. I finally did a web search and found this post, thanks for sharing it. Atlanta Braves Vendor would be a much better name to use, plus it would be nice to get a paper slip at the ballpark.
Right??!?!?!?!
Agreed!! Thanks so much. I was just about to dispute 3 charges. Turns out, taking your girl friend to a Braves game and having several adult bevs each is not cheap, lol. Mystery solved!!
Thanks! Just the clue I needed.
Mine was “ATLANTA BB-SUITES”
Thank you for this post. It is still helpful this day. Just got off the phone with my bank feeling lost and confused. Googled them and your post appeared giving clarity. We went to a Braves game this weekend as well.
Thanks! I was about to go crazy trying to figure this out. Was at the game on Saturday night and charges showed up on Tuesday afternoon.
