Why does this charge appear?

When you purchase Call of Duty content or a full Activision title, the charge hits your bank statement as ACTIVISION* because payment processors and card networks impose strict character limits on merchant descriptors, forcing companies to abbreviate their billing identifiers. The asterisk following ACTIVISION is a standard delimiter used by payment platforms like Stripe or Braintree to separate the merchant name from an additional identifier such as a transaction reference or product code, which may or may not be visible depending on your bank's display format. Activision uses this shortened descriptor format across all its direct billing, meaning any purchase made through Battle.net or the Call of Duty store will show up this way rather than spelling out the full company name.

What should you do?

1

Identify the Activision purchase

Log into your Activision account at activision.com and review your purchase history to match the ACTIVISION* charge on your bank statement to a specific Call of Duty or Warzone transaction, such as a game purchase or in-game content like a Battle Pass or operator bundle.

2

Check your linked payment methods

Visit activision.com and navigate to your account settings to confirm which payment method was billed. If the ACTIVISION* charge matches the card on file and the purchase date aligns with recent gaming activity, the charge is likely legitimate.

3

Manage or cancel your Activision subscription

If the ACTIVISION* charge is for a recurring subscription or service you no longer want, visit support.activision.com/options to review your options for cancelling or modifying your plan to avoid future charges.

4

Contact Activision support if something seems off

If the ACTIVISION* charge does not match any purchase you recall making, reach out directly through support.activision.com/options to report the unrecognized transaction and have Activision investigate the charge before escalating to your bank.
