HT1933 why am i getting charges on my credit card when iu am not buying anything?

why am i getting charges on my credit card when i am not buying anything?

First, if you're using an iOS device, make sure that you did not inadvertently make an in-app purchase. Many apps, particularly games, are free for the base game but charge for additional features such as levels, "coins" and other such add-ons. Check your Purchase History to see if that reminds you as to what you might have purchased:

If you find that these were in-app purchases, to prevent this from happening again, turn off "In App purchases" in the Restrictions settings on your device. For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
As to a refund, that's not automatic since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
They're usually pretty lenient in the case of inadvertent purchases, but there are no guarantees.
If the charges are not in-app purchases that you made and forgot but the charges do appear in your Purchase History, contact the iTunes Store and let them know. You should also immediately change your password for your Apple ID. If the charges don't appear in your Purchase History, they were probably fake charges made directly to your credit card, and your card issuer will need to handle those.

    I have the same question. My credit card is charged every few days for varying amounts and I did not purchase anything from iTunes. My credit card bill says Apple ITunes but no other detail is provided to inform me what the charge is for.

  • Why did i get charged a $5 late fee when I just recieved my bill?

    Why did i get charged a $5 late fee when I just recieved my bill?

        Oh, that's strange! Your bill should be due approximately the same time each month. It seems like this charge is referring to a bill that we didn't receive payment for last month. Make sure to check all charges at vzw.com and review all the payments were made.

    Apple "veriifes" your Apple ID account information everytime you download media whether free or paid thus the authorization hold. Your account will be credited the amount of the holds usually within 24 to 48 hours.

        I know it's important to understand your charges cvette52. Have you been able to review your statements to match up this charge? Do you have postpaid or prepay service with us? Wireless or landline?

  • HT1904 I have a charge on my credit card, but I didn't purchase anything on that date. How do I get it off or refunded back to me?

    I have a charge on my credit card, but I didn't purchase anything on that date. How do I get it off or refunded back to me?

    You've checked the purchase history on your account ? You didn't have any pre-orders and/or auto-renewing subscriptions that were due ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
    If you don't recognise the charge, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and may have made it, then try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

    How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

    The iTunes/Mac App Stores use credit on an account first. You are asked to supply an additional payment method when the cash credit doesn't cover the complete cost of the purchase.

    If you've checked your purchase hisory (Store > View My Account on your computer's iTunes) and you haven't made any in-app purchases or have any auto-renewing subscriptions then you can contact iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT204088 why do i keep getting charged on my credit card for itunes when i havent used it

    Why do i keep getting charged for stuff on itunes when i havent purchased any thing in a while

    You've checked the purchase history on your account, as per the page that you posted from, does anything show ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
    If nothing shows on your account, and you haven't got any auto-renewing subscriptions and you've only got the one account, then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they know where the charges are coming from : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption. But if nothing shows on your account then you may also want to contact your card issuer.

  • Why did I get charged for the gift card from the student deal with macbook pro?

    Why did I get charged for the $100 gift card student deal that came with the macbook pro? I was told that it would be taken credited off my credit card however; that has not happened. Am I missing something? Have other people been charged for this as well?

    The same thing happened to me but it made sense.
    I ordered a MBPR on Jun 12 for $2879 which qualified for the free student gift card. The gift card was available to ship (delivers June 20 - June 21) but the MBPR wasn't available until a month later (deliverys July 3 - July 10). Instead of holding the gift card until the MBPR was ready, Apple charged me $100 for the card then shipped it to me.
    About a month later when the MBPR was ready, Apple charged me $2779 then shipped it. In the end, I was charged the correct amount $2779 + $100 = $2879.
    Why did Apple do this? I suspect that some people have cheated Apple by ordering a Mac to get the promotional gift card then canceled their order after the gift card was spent. Apple is trying to protect itself.
    BTW, if you return the mac then you're expected to return the gift card. If you've spent any amount of the card then Apple will deduct this from your refund.

    You are NOT addressing Apple here at all.
    We are all itunes users like you.
    There is no phone number to call.
    You let your daughter play with your iphone and continue to buy and you think it is somehow Apples fault?
    You can set the restrictions that will stop anyone from making these purchases.  You have obviously failed to do this.  This is your fault.  Not Apples.

  • HT3702 I have almost $60 charged on my credit card and I did not make a purchase.  Support is very difficult with Apple.

    I am very frustrated and find it difficult to get the answers that I need.  Again, I just recently got my credit card bill.  On the bill were to charges from itunes, of which I am not responsible for.  There is roughly $60 charged to my credit card, charges I did not make.  Could someone from apple please contact me. Could someone please help me to correct this error?
    Sincerely,
    Jillane P.

  • Why does Apple keep on deduct my money from my debit card although I did not buy anything from iTunes?

    Guys. Apple had been deduct money from my bank and this is not once only and it's for few times. How can such thing happen when I didn't buy anything from iTunes but apple keep on deduct my money? I buy iPhone just to get scam money when I got my account?

    Right now, log on to apple.com, and change your password.
    either
    somebody else is using your ID to buy stuff -
    or have you bought any subscriptions that require monthly payments.
    Within a day or two of charging you anything, Apple sends you an email receipt with the detail.  Are you getting these?
