MYTHERESA* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When Mytheresa processes payments for its high-end designer purchases, the billing descriptor is truncated to "MYTHERESA*" because international payment networks like Visa and Mastercard enforce a strict character limit on merchant descriptors, and the asterisk is commonly appended by Mytheresa's payment processing system to separate the merchant name from any additional transaction identifiers such as an order number or regional billing code. Since Mytheresa operates out of Munich, Germany and routes transactions through European payment gateways, the descriptor formatting follows standard European merchant billing conventions that often differ from how the brand presents itself publicly. If you see MYTHERESA* on your statement, it is almost certainly a legitimate charge from a luxury fashion order placed on mytheresa.com.

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