MYFITNESSPAL*PREMIUM Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When MyFitnessPal processes subscription payments for its premium calorie and macro tracking service, the billing system appends an asterisk followed by "PREMIUM" to create the descriptor MYFITNESSPAL*PREMIUM, a formatting convention commonly used by payment processors like Stripe and Braintree to distinguish a specific product tier from other potential charges by the same company. The asterisk-separated format helps cardholders and banks quickly identify not just the merchant but the exact subscription type being billed, which is especially useful since MyFitnessPal has historically offered multiple membership options. If you recently signed up for a free 30-day trial and are now seeing this charge for the first time, it almost certainly means your trial period has ended and your account has automatically converted to a paid Premium plan at the monthly or annual rate.

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