CONSTANT CONTACT* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When Constant Contact processes your monthly email marketing subscription payment, their billing system transmits the charge to your bank using the truncated descriptor "CONSTANT CONTACT*" followed by additional transaction details, with the asterisk acting as a standard delimiter used by many SaaS platforms to separate the merchant name from a secondary identifier such as a product code or account reference. This format is a common convention among subscription-based software companies that route payments through processors like Stripe or Braintree, which append the asterisk character to distinguish the core merchant name from supplemental billing data. If you see "CONSTANT CONTACT*" on your statement alongside a charge of around $12.00, it is almost certainly your recurring Constant Contact email marketing plan and not an unauthorized transaction.

No, this is a legitimate charge from Constant Contact. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
