AMAZON PRIME MEMBERSHIPAMZN.COM/PRIME

This is a charge from Amazon Prime, a membership service that allows Amazon users to get extra perks, such as free shipping and access to movies, shows, music, etc. Amazon is an American multinational company that focuses on e-commerce, cloud computing, online advertising, digital streaming, and artificial intelligence.

Amazon is the world's largest online retailer and sells virtually everything, including books, electronics, household goods, food, and pretty much everything else you can imagine. It is one of the world's most valuable brands and is one of the big five American information technology companies, along with Alphabet, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft.

• Books
• Music
• Homegoods
• Gift cards
• Electronics
• Garden items

• Office products
• Pet food or toys
• Health & personal care items

Why this charge may appear on your card

You're likely seeing this charge because you made a purchase at Amazon Prime. If you didn't make this payment, it's possible someone else did, which may be an early indication of fraud. Unknown Amazon charges are usually from an Amazon Prime payment, a digital service payment, an Amazon Pay transaction, or a bank authorization.

Why you may not recognize this charge

Amazon often doesn't charge your card at the moment of purchase. Rather, they charge your card when the item ships. Additionally, they may do partial charges if your order contains multiple items and they ship or process at different times. For example, if you checked out with two items totaling $100, you might see individual charges of $80 and $20 if those items ship at different times or come from different Amazon sellers.
