Why am I being charged for Wondrium?
Unreviewed registry note: A credit card billing statement entry reading WONDRIUM * SUBSCRIPTION represents an authorized payment made to The Teaching Company for Wondrium, an online streaming platform specializing in educational documentaries, university level lectures, and instructional series formerly known as The Great Courses Plus. When users sign up for monthly, quarterly, or annual streaming plans, recurring membership fees process directly under this merchant descriptor.
Unreviewed registry note: Most unexpected charges related to this educational video service happen automatically when promotional free trial periods expire, transitioning the user account to standard paid monthly or annual subscription rates. In addition, subscription renewals continue billing your credit card each billing cycle unless explicitly deactivated beforehand through your online account settings or third party app store management portal.
Is Wondrium the same as The Great Courses?
Unreviewed registry note: The Great Courses Plus rebranded to Wondrium in 2021. The parent company is The Teaching Company, which is why older descriptors may look different.
Independent reference — not affiliated with Wondrium. Billing names and policies change; verify with the merchant or your bank before acting.
