Unexpected Max subscription charge
Find support for an unexpected subscription charge.
Charges Q&A
Depending on your provider and country, you can choose from different subscription plans. Plan and pricing varies by provider and country. For pricing info, go to Max.com.
If your subscription charge isn't what you expected, here are some possible reasons:
- You may have a different plan or billing period. Which plan do I have?
- Your promotional or discounted period may have ended and you were charged the then-current subscription rate.
- Where applicable, taxes are included in your subscription charge for the country where you started your subscription.
If none of these reasons apply and your subscription is billed through Max directly (WarnerMedia Direct Asia Pacific, LLC), please contact us for help (instead of your payment service). If you're billed through another company, contact them for help. Find out who bills you.
If you were charged after canceling your Max subscription, here are some possible reasons:
- You canceled your subscription too close to your next billing date. Some providers may require you to cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing period starts (this varies by billing provider). If you have questions, please contact your billing provider. Find out who bills you.
- Your subscription is still active. To make sure you're not charged again, go to Check if your subscription is active.
- You have multiple accounts and subscriptions. For help finding your accounts, go to Find multiple accounts.
If you didn't subscribe to Max, find the Max charge on your bank statement and find who charged you below:
- An app store (e.g. Apple or Google): Cancel the Max subscription in the app store or contact their customer support for help.
- help.max.com: Take note of the date and charge amount and contact us for help. Be sure to have your payment information handy.
If Max is part of a third-party internet, mobile, or TV package, you may not see an individual charge for Max.
If you're seeing multiple charges for the same amount each month, you might have multiple accounts (each with an active subscription). For help finding your accounts, go to Find multiple accounts.
