Understanding your Discovery+ charge
Unreviewed registry note: An entry reading DISCOVERY* PLUS on your billing statement indicates a recurring subscription charge from Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. This line item pays for access to the Discovery+ Streaming Service, an on-demand video platform featuring reality series and nature documentaries from networks like HGTV and TLC. Unlike general entertainment bundles, Discovery+ concentrates primarily on unscripted lifestyle and factual television programming.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge typically posts to your credit card on a monthly schedule. Subscriptions run either as an ad-supported plan priced at $4.99 per month or an ad-free tier at $8.99 per month. Most unexpected debits occur when an introductory promotional trial expires and automatically converts into a paid recurring plan. If someone in your home set up the app on a connected smart TV, the stored payment card was likely charged upon trial expiration.
- Unreviewed registry note: Monthly ad-free ($8.99) or ad-lite ($4.99) subscription renewal.
- Unreviewed registry note: Free 7-day promotional trial conversion.
- Unreviewed registry note: Stand-alone streaming tier auto-renewal.
