GCash Wallet Adjusted: Free Money?

by

Did GCash suddenly add or reduce money from your account?

What’s exactly the reason for this? There might be several answers to this, so it’s best to check out this guide to know more.

What does GCash wallet adjusted mean?

It means that a certain amount of money has been added or reduced from your GCash balance. Usually, money is returned to your GCash account when it’s adjusted.

You might think that GCash made a mistake when adding money to your account, but it’s not a mistake.

The common reasons for the adjustment are:

  • Buy load service unavailable
  • Referral rewards
  • Send money failed
  • Pay bills service unavailable

In most cases, the money you see being added back to your account is when a transaction fails. This usually happens when you buy a load and the service isn’t available.

You don’t need to guess where the money came from; GCash will provide an explanation. You can check it out by going to your GCash > Transactions.

Can I spend the money GCash adjusted?

Technically, it’s your money, so you can do whatever you want. But if it’s from a failed transaction, then it’s better to try the transaction again.

But if it’s from cashback, referral rewards, or a prize, you’re free to do what you want.

We receive hundreds now and then as referral rewards from GCash. This is because we promote our link in the blog posts. This helps keep the blog running, so we thank our readers sincerely.

What to do when you believe that it isn’t your money?

There are rare cases when no matter how much you think about it, you don’t know where the money came from.

Sometimes, GCash will add money to your balance, and the reason is unclear. But the truth is that GCash records all our activities automatically, so it might just be a transaction that didn’t go through.

The money may have only been added now, but the failed transaction can be months or years old.

But if you truly believe it’s not your money, you can contact GCash customer service and explain your situation.

What does it mean when your GCash Wallet Limit is Adjusted?

If it says that your GCash wallet limit has been adjusted, then it means that you can store more money in your account now.

As you know, GCash limits the amount of money you can store per month depending on your verification level.

So, for instance, you might already be a fully verified user with a P100,000 limit. Once you link your bank account to GCash, your limit will increase to P500,000.

You’ll receive a notification when your limit has been adjusted. But you can also easily check your current limit by opening your GCash app > Profile > Profile Limits.

FAQs

Yes, every transaction that pushes through has a receipt in the transaction history in GCash.

Why was my GCash wallet reduced?

If your GCash wallet has been reduced, it might mean that a transaction has been pushed through. Check your transaction history to see what it is.

Conclusion
