Doesn't look right? Things you could check:

  • Review your Amazon subscriptions — Amazon's 'Memberships & Subscriptions' page lists active services like Prime, Kindle Unlimited, or Audible that could generate a recurring charge like this.
  • Look for a receipt email — Amazon typically sends a confirmation email for every digital purchase, so searching your inbox for 'Amazon' around the date of this charge may identify it.
