Re: Why do I get charged half a month early for my subscriptions?


As Apple users, like yourself, in the community, we have no access to your acounts or details in order to check this payment out for you. Maube it's a new subscriptiion, and you were were charged for the first month when subscribing, and this payment may be for the month up ahead ?


The number of days in a month, holidays etc., can make a small difference to a.payment's due date.


You may have an e-mailed receipt that explains

or

You might want to double-check the due date for your particular subscriptiions :

Settings > [Your name] > Subscriptions


More info: Apple support have an article online (link below) that may be helpful:

Thank you kindly for your reply, and added info... sorry there's not much, if anything, community members can do to help rectify the situation, and Apple is unlikely to see your post to us.
