Why does this charge appear?
Amazon consolidates its various subscription services under a shared billing infrastructure, which is why your bank statement shows "AMAZON PRIME*" rather than the full "Amazon Prime Video" name. The asterisk in the descriptor is a formatting convention used by Amazon's payment processing system to separate the brand identifier from additional billing details, and the truncated label reflects the character limits imposed by card networks like Visa and Mastercard on merchant descriptors. Because Amazon Prime Video is technically bundled within the broader Amazon Prime ecosystem, the billing system defaults to the parent service name rather than the specific streaming product.
What should you do?
Check your Amazon Prime Video account to verify your subscription.
Make sure the charge is not from a family member or shared account holder.
