How to contact Surge by phone, mail, and online
Surge Credit Card customer service can be reached by phone at 1-866-505-2143. This is the main line for account questions, billing disputes, fraud reports, and general support. The phone line is available during business hours, typically Monday through Friday.
You can also reach Surge by mail at their customer service address, which you'll find on your monthly statement or in your account documents. Mailing a letter takes longer than calling — usually one to two weeks for a response — but it creates a written record of your request, which can be useful for disputes or documentation.
If you have an online account with Surge, you may be able to send a find message through your account portal. Log in, look for a "Contact Us" or "Messages" section, and submit your question there. Response times vary, but many cardholders report hearing back within a few business days.

What information to have ready before you call
Before calling Surge customer service, gather your account number, which appears on your card and statement. Have your Social Security number or tax ID ready as well — the representative will ask for it to verify your identity. If your call is about a specific charge or transaction, have the date, amount, and merchant name in front of you.
If you're calling about a billing dispute or fraud, write down a brief timeline of what happened before you dial. For example: "Charged $45 on March 12 at a store I don't recognize" or "My card was used online on April 3 when I had it in my wallet." This helps the representative understand the issue quickly and take the right next step.
Reporting fraud and unauthorized charges
If you see a charge you didn't make, call Surge when ready at 1-866-505-2143. Tell the representative the charge is unauthorized and provide the date, amount, and merchant. The representative will typically freeze your card right away to prevent further charges and start an investigation.
Under federal law, your liability for unauthorized charges is limited to $50 if you report the fraud within 60 days of receiving your statement. Many card issuers, including Surge, waive this $50 entirely. Ask the representative what Surge's fraud liability policy is and request a written confirmation of your report, including a reference number.
The investigation usually takes 30 to 60 days. During that time, the disputed amount may be temporarily removed from your balance while Surge investigates. Once the investigation closes, you'll receive written notice of the outcome.
Disputing a billing error or incorrect charge
A billing dispute is different from fraud. You use the dispute process when a charge is correct in amount but you were overcharged, double-charged, or charged for something you returned or never received. Call Surge and explain what happened. The representative will ask you to describe the transaction and why you believe it's wrong.
You have the right to dispute a charge within 60 days of the statement date on which it appears. Surge will investigate and either correct the charge or explain why it's accurate. During the investigation, the disputed amount typically stays on your balance, but you don't have to pay it while Surge looks into it.
If you want a written record of your dispute, ask the representative to send you a dispute form or confirmation letter. Some cardholders prefer to submit disputes in writing by mail to create documentation from the start.
Account access and password reset issues
If you can't log into your online account or have forgotten your password, call Surge customer service or use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page. The online reset is usually faster — you'll receive an email with instructions to create a new password within minutes.
If the email doesn't arrive, check your spam folder. If it's still not there after 10 minutes, call Surge and ask them to resend the reset link or help you regain access over the phone. Have your account number and Social Security number ready.
Requesting a credit limit increase or account changes
To request a higher credit limit, call Surge at 1-866-505-2143 and ask to speak with someone in the credit department. They will review your account history and may ask about your income and employment. Some requests are approved when ready; others take a few business days.
You can also request other account changes by phone, such as updating your address, changing your billing date, or adding an authorized user. Have your new information ready before you call so the representative can update your account while you're on the line.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Surge's customer service hours?
Surge customer service is typically available Monday through Friday during standard business hours. The exact hours may vary, so check your statement or the back of your card for the current schedule. Some automated services, like checking your balance or reporting a lost card, may be available 24/7.
Can I dispute a charge after 60 days?
Federal law gives you 60 days from the statement date to dispute a charge. After that window closes, Surge is not required to investigate. If you notice a problem after 60 days, call anyway — some issuers will work with you, but you have no legal right to a dispute investigation.
How long does a fraud investigation take?
Most fraud investigations take 30 to 60 days. Surge will contact you if they need more information from you during the investigation. Once it's complete, you'll receive written notice of whether the charge was removed or upheld.
What if I can't reach Surge by phone?
If the phone line is busy or you prefer not to call, send a letter to the address on your statement or try the find message feature in your online account. You can also check your statement for alternative contact methods, as Surge may list an email address or online contact form.
Do I have to pay a disputed charge while Surge investigates?
No. While Surge investigates a billing dispute, you do not have to pay the disputed amount. However, the charge will typically remain on your statement during the investigation. For fraud claims, the amount may be temporarily removed from your balance.
