Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A credit card statement entry displaying PRIVACYGUARD* TRILEGIANT represents an ongoing credit monitoring or identity protection subscription managed by Trilegiant Corporation / Affinion. This charge appears on your statement when you maintain an active security tier or when a promotional trial period converts into a recurring monthly membership.
Unreviewed registry note: Many consumers encounter this billing after accepting credit monitoring offers during retail checkouts or credit card reward promotions. Once the initial low-cost or free trial window expires, the subscription automatically renews at standard monthly rates ranging from ten to twenty-five dollars.
Common reasons for this charge
Unreviewed registry note: Common triggers include promotional trial conversions and auto-renewing credit monitoring subscriptions.
- Unreviewed registry note: A 14-day $1 trial period ended, converting the account to recurring monthly membership.
- Unreviewed registry note: A recurring monthly PrivacyGuard subscription auto-renewed on the scheduled date.
- Unreviewed registry note: An offer was accepted through a credit card issuer partner rewards program.
Dispute Rights & Fraud Prevention
