A card charge labeled “SAAM MECC Maastricht” is typically linked to food, beverages, or event catering purchased at Bar Bistro SAAM during a visit to the MECC Maastricht venue—this could be a sit‑down meal, coffee and drinks between conference sessions, or catering tied to a specific meeting, congress, or public event.

If you have questions about a charge from Bar Bistro SAAM, start by checking any receipts or confirmations from events you attended at MECC Maastricht around the transaction date, as well as your email for booking or event registrations referencing MECC or SAAM.
