Understanding Unauthorized Membership Charges

Experiencing an unexpected charge of $104.94 for a membership you did not request can be both confusing and frustrating. This guide will walk you through understanding potential reasons for this charge, ways to resolve it, and preventative measures for the future.

Potential Reasons for Unauthorized Charges
