Question 3

I don't remember signing up for the Washington Post — could this be fraud?

Accepted Answer

The WASHINGTON POST* charge is a legitimate billing descriptor used by the Washington Post for their digital subscription service. Before assuming fraud, check if a family member or household member may have signed up using your payment method. You can verify the subscription by logging in at washingtonpost.com/account with your email. If you truly do not recognize the account, contact your bank to dispute the charge and the Washington Post customer support to investigate.

Question 4

Why did I get charged $10.00 by the Washington Post after a free trial?

Accepted Answer

The Washington Post frequently offers free trial promotions for their digital subscription, after which billing automatically begins at the standard rate of around $10.00 per month. The charge labeled WASHINGTON POST* on your statement indicates your trial period has ended and your paid subscription has started. If you did not intend to continue, you can cancel at washingtonpost.com/account to prevent future charges, though you may need to request a refund directly from the Washington Post for any charge you wish to dispute.
