Why was I charged? Renewals, free trials and pending charges

The most common reasons for a charge you didn't expect, and what to do.

If you've been charged when you didn't expect it, it's usually one of the reasons below. You can see all your payments in Settings → Payments & Subscriptions → Transaction History

A subscription renewed

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. Check Manage My Subscriptions: if the subscription is still active, it will keep renewing.
​
See How do I cancel a subscription?


​

You cancelled close to the renewal

If you cancel when the renewal payment has already started processing, it can't be stopped. You'll still have access for the new period you paid for. Next time, cancel by the day before your renewal date.

A free trial ended

If you don't cancel before a free trial ends, it becomes a paid subscription at the creator's standard price on the day the trial ends. The price and renewal date are shown when you start the trial.

A discount or offer ended

If you joined with a discount, your subscription renews at the creator's regular price once the offer ends. The offer length and the price afterwards were shown on the pop-up when you joined, for example: €4.01 for your first month, then €13.38 every month.

You have another Fanvue account

The charge may be from a different Fanvue account of yours. Log in with any other email addresses you use and check their subscriptions.

It's a pending charge

If the charge shows as pending, it's usually a temporary hold from your bank, not a completed payment. Your bank releases it within a few days if the payment doesn't go through.
