About MCC 3818
MCC 3818 is a travel & entertainment code assigned to MainStay Suites, one of the hotel chain-specific codes in the 3501–3999 range. Card networks use these codes so purchases made directly with the hotel chain are identifiable; merchants without a dedicated code use MCC 7011 (Hotels, Motels, and Resorts). Stays booked and prepaid through booking sites or travel agencies usually post under the booking site's code instead.
