Don't recognize it? Check these first
- Someone else in the household. A partner or family member on a shared card is the most common explanation for a "mystery" recurring charge.
- A free trial that converted. Frontend Masters's own sign-up flow involves a trial — the first charge is often the trial quietly ending. Set a trial reminder next time.
- A price you don't remember agreeing to. Subscriptions creep upward quietly. If the amount looks bigger than you remember, it probably is — see which services raised prices.
- Charged twice, or charged after you cancelled. Both are disputable. Contact Frontend Masters first if you have an account; otherwise go straight to your bank — here's exactly how to dispute a charge.

FAQ
What is the Frontend Masters charge on my bank statement?
Frontend Masters is a online learning service. Its charges usually appear on statements containing "FRONTEND MASTERS", "MASTER.DEV", "MASTERDEV". If you or someone in your household has a Frontend Masters account, this is most likely a legitimate recurring charge.
How do I stop Frontend Masters from charging me?
Cancel the subscription — you can cancel it yourself online. Skycopia rates it easy to cancel and has a step-by-step guide with the exact 3-step walkthrough.
Can I dispute a Frontend Masters charge?
Yes — if the charge landed after you cancelled, or you never signed up at all, dispute it with your bank or card issuer. If you do have an account, contact Frontend Masters first: a duplicate or post-cancellation charge is usually refunded faster by the merchant than through a formal dispute.
Why did Frontend Masters charge me after a free trial?
Free trials convert to a paid subscription automatically unless cancelled before the trial ends — the first charge is the trial ending, not an error. Individual plans get a refund window on the FIRST charge only: 10 days (less any trial days) for monthly, 30 days (less any trial days) for annual — after that, cancelling just stops the next renewal. Renewals themselves aren't refundable unless you ask within 24 hours of the charge and haven't opened any course material. Don't be thrown by seeing "Master.dev" instead of "Frontend Masters" on your card statement — it's the same company, mid-rebrand.
