What is "REDDIT" on my bank statement?

REDDIT is usually a legitimate Reddit Premium subscription charge from Reddit, Inc.

Merchant: Reddit, Inc. | Category: Subscription

What Is This Charge?

A charge from Reddit reflects a purchase at Reddit, Inc., the social discussion platform founded in 2005 and best known for Reddit Premium and other paid digital features. Reddit does not operate physical retail stores, so the charge is a digital subscription or in-app purchase rather than an in-person store sale. The merchant category is Subscription, and the charge usually appears when a user starts, renews, or upgrades a Reddit Premium plan. Reddit is a large online platform with a global user base, so the descriptor often points to an account-based service tied to a specific Reddit login.

Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?

This charge appears when you subscribe to Reddit Premium, start a free trial that converts to paid billing, or renew an existing monthly or annual plan. It can also appear after an app-store purchase made through Apple App Store or Google Play if Reddit billing is routed through the mobile platform instead of directly through Reddit. In some cases, the charge posts a few days after the signup date because card networks and processors can delay settlement. If a family member used your card inside the Reddit app, the statement can still show Reddit even if the purchase was made on a phone or tablet.

Typical Charge Amounts

Reddit Premium is commonly billed at about $5.99 per month in the United States, and annual plans are often priced around $59.99 per year. Some users see a small authorization hold of $0.00 to $1.00 before the final subscription charge posts. If the purchase is processed through Apple or Google, the amount can match the app-store price rather than a direct Reddit invoice. A charge that is far above the normal subscription price, such as $19.99 or $29.99, is less typical and should be reviewed carefully.

Is This Charge Legitimate?

A legitimate Reddit charge should match a Reddit account, a Reddit Premium trial, or a subscription receipt in your email inbox. First, sign in at https://www.reddit.com and open User Settings, then check the Premium or subscription status for the billing date and renewal amount. Second, search your email for receipts from Reddit or from Apple or Google if the purchase was made through an app store. Third, compare the statement date and amount against the receipt, because the charge should usually match the posted subscription price within a few cents. If you do not recognize the charge, contact Reddit Help at https://support.reddithelp.com and review the card activity with your bank immediately.

How to Dispute or Cancel

1. Cancel Reddit Premium in your Reddit account settings at https://www.reddit.com or in the Apple App Store or Google Play subscription menu if the charge was billed through a mobile app. 2. Save the cancellation confirmation, because subscription access usually continues until the end of the current billing period. 3. If you cannot find the account, contact Reddit support through https://support.reddithelp.com and ask for the billing record tied to the descriptor. 4. If the charge is unauthorized, call the number on the back of your card and start a bank dispute right away, because card issuers can block future recurring charges while they investigate. Reddit does not have a standard public customer service phone number for billing disputes, so the fastest path is account cancellation plus a bank claim if the charge is not yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Reddit charge show as REDDIT*PREMIUM?

REDDIT*PREMIUM usually means the charge is for Reddit Premium, not a random store purchase. The asterisk is a common payment descriptor format used by processors, and the premium label identifies the subscription tier. Check your Reddit account, your email receipts, and any Apple or Google subscription records to confirm the billing source.

How do I cancel my Reddit subscription?

Cancel your Reddit subscription by signing in at https://www.reddit.com and opening the Premium or billing settings, or by managing the subscription in the Apple App Store or Google Play if that is where you paid. Save the cancellation confirmation and check that renewal is turned off before the next billing date.

Why is my Reddit charge a different amount than expected?

A Reddit charge can differ from what you expected if the billing source is Apple or Google, if a free trial converted to paid billing, or if taxes were added at checkout. Some cards also show a temporary authorization hold before the final amount posts. Compare the statement to the receipt and the subscription renewal date.

Can Reddit charges appear after I cancel?

Yes, a Reddit charge can still appear after cancellation if the cancellation happened after the renewal cutoff or if the payment was already authorized before you turned off auto-renew. In that case, the charge usually covers the current billing period and the account should remain active until the period ends.

What should I do if I do not have a Reddit account?

If you do not have a Reddit account, check whether a family member used your card, then review your email for a Reddit, Apple, or Google receipt. If nothing matches, contact Reddit support at https://support.reddithelp.com and start a bank dispute with your card issuer to stop future recurring billing.
