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. If you tried the service once, 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. New York Times is on Skycopia's tracked price-hikes list.
- Charged twice, or charged after you cancelled. Both are disputable. Contact New York Times first if you have an account; otherwise go straight to your bank — here's exactly how to dispute a charge.
