Unexpected $1.29 charge related to Apple Pay and App Store

Hello everyone. I have long ago linked the card to my Apple Pay wallet. But a month ago I started trying to withdraw $1.29 for some digital services. The bank, naturally, cannot see where they were spent. I don't have $1.29 worth of subscriptions and just had a successful withdrawal attempt. Also, this is the amount that is requested when I try to link the card to the eppstore.

We cannot know. We are not Apple but rather your fellow end users. We have no more access to Apple databases than you. There is a way you can check it yourself. Start here:


If you see 'apple.com/bill' on your billing statement - Apple Support


The most important part of that article is "View your purchase history." If Apple does NOT show a record of the charges in your history, it is very possible that scammers have gained access to your credit card or bank number and are pretending to be Apple. It happened to us.


If that is the case, Apple will have no record of what criminals do, and only your CARD ISSUER or BANK can remedy it.


⚠️ Important note for reviewing your Apple purchase history: If you are using Family Sharing, make sure you set the "Apple ID" box to the "All" option to get a complete history of purchases Apple shows as made from your account:

Thank you very much for answering. I see on site that 1.29 was spent in tik tok 11th November. In bank I see failed 1.29 payment 11th November. And on the site I don't see today's payment, but I see it in bank. I already even changed my card a month ago. And in the end, in tik tok purchase history the lastest payment is 9th November, which I don't see on the Apple site and bank both.

Based on what you've written, it would appear you made what is called an In-App purchase on TikTok for something which recurs monthly. You likely need to reach out to them to understand what you signed up for.
