Why does this charge appear?
Amazon uses the shortened "AMZ*" prefix on bank statements because their internal billing systems are designed to condense the merchant identifier to fit within the limited character space that card networks like Visa and Mastercard allow for transaction descriptors. The asterisk following "AMZ" acts as a separator, and Amazon often appends additional order or product details after it, which is why you might see variations like "AMZ*Marketplace" or "AMZ*Digital" depending on what you purchased. If you spot this descriptor alongside a charge of around $34.99, it almost certainly reflects a one-time Amazon purchase made through their U.S. storefront.
