Hello all, just though I would share. Around 1am, I woke up to the sounds of a few notifications. All from Bank of America letting me know my debt card was charged by Apple for 9.99 plus state tax. I knew I didn’t buy anything in a long long time from Apple, and my iCloud storage bill is only 2.99.

About an hour later I finally received an email from Apple. It says I was charged 9.99 for one month of Apple Music lol. I don’t even have the music app downloaded on my devices.

Investigating a bit more, I see in my most recent purchases exactly 3 months ago I must have signed up for 3 free months.

It says 3M Winback offer…I never ever remembered this nor remember seeing any notification. And Apple never sent anything stating I was in a free trial ending soon. I don’t have the music apps installed so they must have sent it another way?

And it looks like I cannot get a refund, just canceled.

Rant/

back in 2011 my account was charged for an album not purchased, contested that and won!
then apple suspended my account until 2017- after many attempts to restore that.
that was the start of a downward spiral for our relationship .
advice, make sure Bank of America is safe, set something on your account for 2 step authentication for purchases.
and hope this does not happen again!
 
I wonder if I could have activated a free trial through one of my Apple TV’s by mistake

Likely you have activated a free trial, I get them popping up often or perhaps you signed up for something else and was given the option of 3 months free Apple Music.

Just make sure it has been cancelled and move on, nothing else you can, other than use whats left of your paid plan :)
