Why does this charge appear?

United Airlines uses the truncated billing descriptor "UNITED*" on bank statements because major airlines process ticket purchases through proprietary reservation and payment systems that apply strict character limits inherited from legacy point-of-sale and card network processing standards. The asterisk following "UNITED" is a common formatting convention used by payment processors to separate a shortened merchant name from a transaction code or booking reference, which often gets cut off in what you see on your statement. If you recently booked a flight, received an upgrade, or paid for a seat selection through United Airlines' website, app, or reservation line, the "UNITED*" charge is almost certainly your ticket or ancillary travel fee.
