What is "LINKEDIN PREMIUM" on my bank statement?

LINKEDIN PREMIUM is usually a legitimate subscription charge from LinkedIn for Premium or Learning services.

Merchant: LinkedIn | Category: Subscription

What Is This Charge?

A charge from LinkedIn reflects a purchase at LinkedIn Corporation, the professional networking company founded in 2002 and now operating as a global digital service with no physical retail store count. LinkedIn is a business and career platform, and LinkedIn Premium is a subscription product sold through LinkedIn.com and the LinkedIn mobile app. The charge usually means a user started a paid plan for Premium Career, Premium Business, Sales Navigator, Recruiter Lite, or LinkedIn Learning. The descriptor can also appear when a free trial converts to a paid membership.

Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?

This charge appears when a LinkedIn subscription renews automatically after a trial or billing cycle ends. It also appears when a user upgrades from a free account to a paid plan inside the LinkedIn website, iOS app, or Android app. A family member, coworker, or business administrator may have used the same payment method to buy access for career training, recruiting, or lead generation. The charge can post a few days after the purchase because some card issuers show the authorization first and the final settlement later.

Typical Charge Amounts

LinkedIn Premium charges commonly start around $29.99 per month for entry-level Premium Career plans and around $59.99 per month for Premium Business plans. LinkedIn Learning subscriptions are often billed around $39.99 per month when purchased separately. Annual plans can post as larger charges near $239.88, $359.88, or $575.88 depending on the product and billing cycle. Temporary card authorizations may appear as $0.00, $1.00, or a small pending test charge before the full subscription amount settles.

Is This Charge Legitimate?

A LinkedIn Premium charge is usually legitimate if you recently signed up for a trial, upgraded your account, or bought LinkedIn Learning. Check your LinkedIn account at https://www.linkedin.com and open Settings & Privacy, then review the Billing or Premium section for the exact plan and renewal date. Compare the statement date with your email inbox for a LinkedIn receipt from no-reply@linkedin.com, because legitimate purchases usually generate a confirmation email. If you do not recognize the charge, check whether another profile on the same card, such as a spouse or employer account, used the payment method.

How to Dispute or Cancel

Cancel the subscription first by signing in at https://www.linkedin.com, opening Premium Subscription Settings, and turning off auto-renewal before the next billing date. If you need help, contact LinkedIn Support through the Help Center at https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin or use the in-app support flow, because LinkedIn does not publish a simple public billing phone line for all regions. If the charge is unauthorized, file a dispute with your bank or card issuer right away and tell them the exact descriptor, date, and amount. Keep screenshots of the LinkedIn billing page, the receipt email, and any cancellation confirmation, because those records help the bank reverse a duplicate or fraudulent subscription charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my LinkedIn charge show as LINKEDIN*PREMIUM?

LINKEDIN*PREMIUM usually means the payment was processed by LinkedIn for a Premium subscription or a LinkedIn Learning plan. The asterisk is a common card-processing format, and it does not by itself mean fraud. Check your LinkedIn billing page and recent emails to match the amount and renewal date.

How do I cancel my LinkedIn subscription?

Cancel your LinkedIn subscription by signing in at https://www.linkedin.com, opening Premium Subscription Settings, and turning off auto-renewal. Then save the cancellation confirmation screen and look for a confirmation email. If you subscribed through Apple or Google, cancel in the App Store or Google Play instead of LinkedIn.

Why is my LinkedIn charge a different amount than expected?

Your LinkedIn charge can differ because monthly plans, annual plans, taxes, and currency conversion all change the final amount. A free trial may also convert to a full paid billing cycle, which creates a larger charge than the small test authorization you expected. Review the receipt email and billing page to confirm the exact plan name.

Can LinkedIn Premium charges be for LinkedIn Learning?

Yes, LINKEDIN PREMIUM and LINKEDIN LEARNING can both appear on statements for paid access to LinkedIn services. LinkedIn Learning is often billed as a separate subscription or as part of a Premium bundle. The exact descriptor depends on how the plan was purchased and which billing system processed it.

What should I do if I do not recognize a LinkedIn charge?

If you do not recognize a LinkedIn charge, first check your LinkedIn account, your email receipts, and any shared payment methods used by family or coworkers. Then cancel any active plan and contact your bank to dispute the charge if it is unauthorized. Save the descriptor, amount, and transaction date before you call.
