Why does this charge appear?

Amazon uses the truncated billing descriptor "AMZN*" on bank statements because payment networks like Visa and Mastercard limit merchant descriptors to around 22 characters, and Amazon's internal billing systems are designed to fit within that constraint while still leaving room for additional order or product details after the asterisk. The "AMZN" abbreviation is Amazon's standardized short code registered with card processors across its U.S. marketplace operations, ensuring consistent identification regardless of which Amazon subsidiary or fulfillment entity actually processed your order. If you see "AMZN*" followed by additional text on your statement, that suffix typically describes the specific product category or transaction type associated with your $34.99 purchase.
