Why does this charge appear?

LinkedIn bills its Premium subscription through Microsoft's payment infrastructure, since Microsoft acquired LinkedIn in 2016 and consolidated billing operations under the parent company's systems. When your LinkedIn Premium monthly charge of $39.99 processes, the descriptor is truncated to "LINKEDIN*" because merchant descriptors on bank statements are limited in character length, and the asterisk is used by the payment processor to separate the brand name from any additional billing detail that may follow, such as a product tier or transaction ID. If you're seeing this on your statement and recently signed up for LinkedIn Premium or had your subscription renew, this charge is almost certainly legitimate.

What should you do?

1

Confirm Your LinkedIn Premium Plan

Log in to your LinkedIn account at linkedin.com and navigate to your profile to check if you have an active LinkedIn Premium subscription. The LINKEDIN* charge on your statement corresponds directly to a paid Premium tier such as Career, Business, Sales Navigator, or Recruiter Lite.

2

Review Your LinkedIn Billing History

Visit linkedin.com/premium and click on 'Manage Premium account' to view your full billing history. Here you can verify the exact amount charged matches the LINKEDIN* charge on your bank statement and confirm the billing date aligns with your subscription renewal cycle.

3

Check for Shared or Forgotten Subscriptions

If you do not recall signing up, check whether a family member or colleague may have used your payment method for their LinkedIn Premium trial that converted to a paid plan. LinkedIn also offers free trials that automatically charge once the trial period ends, which may explain an unexpected LINKEDIN* charge.

4

Cancel LinkedIn Premium If No Longer Needed

If you want to stop future LINKEDIN* charges, go directly to linkedin.com/premium and select 'Cancel subscription' before your next billing date. LinkedIn Premium cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period, so you will retain Premium access until that date without being charged again.

🛡

Is this charge fraudulent?

No, this is a legitimate charge from LinkedIn Premium. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
