Why Waking Up appears on your statement
Unreviewed registry note: When bank statements display WAKINGUP* APP, it represents a charge from Waking Up Course LLC for a Waking Up Meditation Subscription. This digital education platform provides daily mindfulness lessons, guided meditations, and philosophical conversations created by Sam Harris. Customers typically subscribe on an annual or monthly recurring billing cycle when purchasing access directly through the official website or mobile application stores.
Unreviewed registry note: This billing descriptor appears on financial statements when an introductory free trial converts into a paid membership, or when a scheduled yearly or monthly renewal processes automatically. Because mobile app platforms and web payment portals handle subscriptions independently, users frequently notice this charge recurring on their cards until auto-renewal is explicitly disabled inside their account dashboard.
