Why does this charge appear?

When Gap processes a transaction through its point-of-sale or online checkout system, the payment is routed through a merchant billing identifier that appends an asterisk after the brand abbreviation, resulting in "GAP*" appearing on your bank statement rather than the full retailer name. The asterisk is a standard delimiter used by Gap's payment processing infrastructure to separate the brand code from additional transaction data such as a store number or location identifier, though that secondary information may be truncated or hidden depending on your bank's display format. If you recently purchased clothing, accessories, or gift cards from Gap in-store or at gap.com, the "GAP*" descriptor is the expected confirmation of that transaction.

What should you do?

1

Match the charge to a Gap order

Log in to your Gap account and visit gap.com/my-account/order-lookup to review your recent orders. Compare the charge amount and date on your bank statement to your Gap purchase history to confirm the GAP* charge matches a specific transaction.

2

Check for Gap promotional discounts or splits

If the GAP* amount looks unfamiliar, keep in mind that Gap sometimes splits orders into multiple charges based on shipping dates. Review each shipment confirmation email from Gap to see if separate charges were applied for different parts of your order.

3

Review your Gap rewards and gift card usage

Visit gap.com and check your GapCash or rewards account to see if any credits or gift cards were applied to your purchase. This can sometimes cause the final billed amount shown as GAP* to differ from your original expected total.

4

Contact Gap directly if something seems off

If the GAP* charge still does not match any order you recognize after checking gap.com, reach out to Gap customer service through their official website at gap.com. Have your bank statement ready with the exact charge amount and date so a Gap representative can quickly locate the transaction in their system.
