Decoding PATREON *MEMBERSHIP
Unreviewed registry note: A transaction labeled PATREON *MEMBERSHIP indicates an active Monthly creator membership pledge or patron tier billed by Patreon, Inc. Patreon provides a recurring subscription platform where fans support independent creators, such as podcasters and digital artists. Cardholders set up a monthly contribution to gain access to community perks, including bonus audio episodes and community Discord roles.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge appears either on the first day of each calendar month or on the recurring anniversary date of when you originally joined the creator's page. Monthly pledge tiers commonly range from $3.00 to $25.00, though specialized patron tiers can cost more. Subscribers often forget they have an ongoing pledge because the line item does not always include the creator's individual brand name on banking records, similar to platform charges from Twitch or Discord.
