Subscription review guide
Separate temporary authorization holds from subscription charges
A pending authorization can resemble a new recurring charge but may disappear or settle at a different amount.
Advertising boundary: ads may appear only on this public page after consent. Personal subscription data from the app is never sent to advertising systems.
Review checklist
- Mark pending, completed, reversed and refunded transaction states separately. Record the source and review date so another person can reproduce the decision.
- Wait for settlement before using a temporary hold as proof of a subscription or monthly cost. Keep uncertain items as candidates until the account owner confirms the billing relationship.
- Link the settled charge to a provider receipt when the merchant descriptor remains ambiguous. Preserve a dated confirmation or export before changing an account, plan or renewal setting.
Scope
General guidance for reviewing your own subscriptions. Act only as the account owner or an authorized administrator.
Before you act
An estimate can differ from an actual charge. Check the invoice and applicable terms for tax, exchange rates, commitments and refunds. These examples do not replace personal financial or tax advice.
