What this variant means
This registry groups this wording with LINKEDIN PRE*030912474; check the identity evidence before treating it as the same merchant.
LINKEDIN PRE*030912474 may be a LinkedIn payment, including Premium billing. LinkedIn’s official help supports purchase-history and subscription checks, but does not document the PRE token or numeric suffix. Match the account receipt; the descriptor does not prove a particular plan, price or authorization.

Match the receipt before identifying Premium
LinkedIn’s unrecognized-charge guidance suggests comparing purchase history with the bank entry. It lists an ended Premium trial, an active subscription, job posting, advertisement or authorization hold among the possibilities. Receipts visible in your account cover purchases made on that account.
Check relevant work and personal accounts, and ask authorized users whether they used the payment method. A missing personal-account receipt does not establish that no LinkedIn purchase exists. PRE and the numeric suffix are not defined by the inspected sources, so use the billing record to identify the account and service.

Cancellation follows the original purchase channel
LinkedIn’s cancellation FAQ distinguishes purchases billed directly by LinkedIn from Apple App Store and Google Play subscriptions. For direct purchases, its current guidance uses the desktop website or Android app. An iOS mobile-web purchase billed by LinkedIn still needs the direct route, rather than assuming Apple took payment.
Check the billing provider on the receipt and use the applicable link in LinkedIn’s cancellation FAQ. Record the confirmation and effective expiry. Its guidance says paid-plan features end at the current billing-cycle boundary and recommends canceling at least one day before the next scheduled bill. Ending a plan is a separate task from asking for a refund.

A refund request is conditional
LinkedIn’s refund policy says a Premium subscription may be refundable within seven days of the charge without Premium usage, and a previous refund can affect eligibility. Apple-billed iOS refunds must go through Apple. The policy does not promise a forty-eight-to-seventy-two-hour resolution for every renewal dispute.
What do the numbers after LINKEDIN PRE mean?
The official sources inspected here do not decode that suffix. Use the receipt and issuer’s transaction details, rather than treating it as a verified subscription or account ID.
I canceled LinkedIn but was charged again. What should I compare?
Compare the account, original billing provider, cancellation confirmation, effective end date and posted bank entry. Ask the provider to explain any mismatch; a descriptor match alone cannot settle it.
