The short answer
The registry records Grammarly Premium as a possible interpretation of GRAMMARLY CO4X8Z. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.
The notes below are unreviewed registry explanations, not confirmation of merchant identity, authorization or current policy. Claim-level source review is pending for this entry.
Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A statement entry marked GRAMMARLY CO4X8Z represents a subscription charge from Grammarly, Inc. for its digital writing assistant. This charge pays for Grammarly Premium, which provides automated grammar checking and clarity enhancements. The alphanumeric string appended to the descriptor acts as an internal merchant reference code generated during credit card clearing.
Unreviewed registry note: The most common cause for this charge catching people off guard is annual renewal billing. Grammarly frequently promotes an attractive monthly rate during checkout that actually requires upfront payment for an entire year. Twelve months later, a renewal charge of approximately one hundred forty-four dollars posts to the card automatically. Because no monthly reminders hit your bank statement during the year, cardholders often forget they ever agreed to a recurring annual plan.
