A charge with the descriptor “CTLP*LONGVIEW SNACK FO LONGVIEW TX” most likely comes from a purchase at one of Longview Snack Foods’ unattended vending machines, such as those located in office buildings, schools, industrial facilities, or public venues in or around Longview, Texas. The “CTLP*” prefix belongs to Cantaloupe, Inc., a payment processor for unattended self-service machines; card networks require the processor name to appear before the sub-merchant, so your statement shows CTLP followed by the merchant name “LONGVIEW SNACK FO(ODS)”. This type of charge is typically a small, one-time transaction matching the cost of snacks or drinks, though there may also be temporary authorization holds for slightly different amounts.

If you have questions about the charge, start by matching the transaction date and amount to any recent vending machine purchases in the Longview, Texas area, especially at workplaces or facilities you visited. Check any on-machine stickers for the operator’s name or phone number, which may reference Longview Snack Foods or its related vending brand. To resolve issues, you can contact the company using the phone or contact details on the vending machine or via the website associated with their listing. If you still cannot recognize the transaction, contact your card issuer and ask them for the full merchant descriptor and any additional details; they can help you dispute the charge if it appears unauthorized.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge labeled “CTLP*LONGVIEW SNACK FO LONGVIEW TX” on my card statement?

This descriptor indicates a snack or beverage purchase from a vending machine operated by Longview Snack Foods in the Longview, Texas area. “CTLP*” is the payment processor (Cantaloupe, Inc.), and the portion after the asterisk refers to the actual merchant, Longview Snack Foods, which runs candy and snack vending machines.

What typical amounts are charged by Longview Snack Foods vending machines?

Longview Snack Foods vending transactions are usually small dollar amounts that reflect the price of individual snacks or beverages—commonly between about $1 and $10, depending on product and location. If you see multiple similar small charges on the same day, they may represent multiple items purchased separately from the same vending machine.

Can Longview Snack Foods place temporary authorization holds on my card?

Yes. Some self-service payment systems briefly place a small authorization hold when you tap or swipe your card at a vending machine to verify the payment method. This hold may differ slightly from the final purchase amount but should automatically adjust or drop off within a few days once the actual charge for your snack purchase settles.

How can I verify that a Longview Snack Foods charge is legitimate?

Compare the date, time, and dollar amount of the charge with any recent visits to facilities where you may have used a vending machine around Longview, Texas—for example at work, school, or a medical or industrial facility. Check any stickers or contact labels on those machines for the Longview Snack Foods name or phone number, and review any receipts or transaction notifications from your bank or card app.

How do I request a refund for a vending machine purchase that failed or dispensed the wrong item?

If a machine failed to dispense a product or delivered the wrong item, note the machine’s location, the time of the transaction, and the amount charged. Look for the service or refund phone number posted on the machine, which should connect you with Longview Snack Foods or their service partner. Provide the transaction details so they can issue a refund or credit if appropriate; if you cannot reach them, you can also contact your card issuer to inquire about disputing the charge.

Is there a way to contact Longview Snack Foods directly about a charge?

Yes. Longview Snack Foods is listed as a vending machine operator and snack wholesaler headquartered in Longview, Texas, and is associated with the domain lonestarvending.net. You can reach out using the phone number or contact form on that site or use the phone number posted on the vending machine where you made the purchase to speak with their customer service or route manager.

Does Longview Snack Foods operate subscriptions or recurring billing plans?

No, Longview Snack Foods primarily processes one-time transactions from snack and beverage vending machines and wholesale orders. If you see multiple similar charges, they will usually correspond to separate vending purchases or multiple people using the same machine, not to a subscription. Recurring, fixed-date charges are unlikely; if you notice that pattern, contact your card issuer to investigate.

What should I do if I don’t recognize any vending purchase in Longview, Texas?

If you cannot recall using a vending machine near Longview, Texas around the date of the transaction, first confirm that no family member or colleague with access to your card used it. If the charge still seems suspicious, call your bank or card issuer, ask them to provide the full merchant descriptor and any additional details, and consider filing a dispute or requesting a new card if you suspect fraud.
