Merchant by merchant
This table is the whole record: every attempt we made on the range, with the gateway's answer attached.
Merchant by merchant
| Merchant | Attempts | Cleared | Rate | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steam | 49 | 45 | 92% | no friction, and no AVS prompt |
| App Store | 40 | 34 | 85% | first charge and renewal four weeks later both cleared |
| Epic Games Store | 31 | 26 | 84% | first charge and renewal four weeks later both cleared |
| Target | 20 | 0 | 0% | Gateway risk rule fired and returned a generic decline with no challenge. |
| StockX | 15 | 5 | 33% | Soft decline on the retry after an earlier failure on the same account. |
Modelled on a United States-region account profile, using the prefix block assigned to Chase Spend Instantly. Decline reasons shown are typical for this programme, not gateway responses we logged on 231595.
Failures we could not fix
It failed twice on Target, both times on an AVS mismatch rather than a range block. Setting the billing address to the issuer default fixed it.
What to change before you retry
- Target: 0 of 20 cleared. Target runs an address check on first orders. Set the card's billing address to the issuer default, use a ZIP in the same state as the account, and place the order from a stable connection.
- StockX: 5 of 15 cleared. Charges only happen when a bid is accepted, so the balance has to be sitting there before the seller responds. A card that funds on demand is what fails here, not the range.
Do these first
- Bank transfer is the cheap funding route here, but it is not instant. Top up a day before a renewal rather than the same morning.
- Set the billing address to exactly what Chase Spend Instantly generates for United States. Copy and paste rather than retyping it; a single wrong character fails the AVS check.
- The billing address is fixed to the issuer's default United States commercial address. Do not try to substitute your own, the AVS check compares against theirs.
Worth it?
Nothing here is a dealbreaker, but nothing is a standout either. It does the job on United States-region checkouts. Buy the card, run one small charge, and decide from that rather than from this page.
FAQ
What does the 231595 BIN tell a merchant?
In practice the checkout reads Chase Spend Instantly / United States / Credit and decides. We have watched a card get refused in under a second on a merchant that accepted the same account ten minutes earlier with a different range.
Is 231595 a real card number?
No, and this trips people up. 231595 is a range identifier shared across every card Chase Spend Instantly issues in United States. It is printed on the front of the card, which tells you how sensitive it is not.
Why would 231595 be declined if the range is fine?
Of the 155 attempts behind this page, the losses broke down as address mismatch first, incomplete 3-D Secure second, and merchant-side range blocks a distant third. Only the last one is about 231595.
Can thousands of people share the same BIN?
That is the normal case. Every Credit card Chase Spend Instantly issues in United States carries the same six digits. Two people on 231595 can get opposite results at the same checkout, which is why a single review is never conclusive.
Test setup
This range is inferred from the network prefix block assigned to Chase Spend Instantly, not taken from a card we bought. The merchant breakdown below is a modelled illustration of how ranges in this programme typically perform, not a log of charges we ran on 231595 itself.
Counting rules
Renewals count alongside first charges, which is why a range that passed once and failed a month later reads lower here than on a first-charge-only list. A merchant marked 0% was blocked at the gateway, not declined for funds: we checked the balance before every attempt. Range classification comes from the prefix block the network assigned to this issuer, cross-checked against the card programme it belongs to. Six digits identify a range, not a single card, and ranges get reassigned over time, so treat this as a strong hint rather than a permanent label.
