Resumen del cargo
This is a charge for a digital game purchase on the Nintendo eShop or a Switch Online subscription.
What is the Nintendo charge?
A 'NINTENDO' charge is often a legitimate purchase for games, subscription services, or in-game content via a Switch or 3DS console.
Descriptors include 'NINTENDO ESHOP', 'NINTENDO OF AMERICA', 'NINTENDO SWITCH ONLINE', or 'NINTENDOoA'.
Auto-Renewals and Chargeback Warnings
Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions renew automatically on an annual or monthly basis unless cancelled.
Warning: If you file a chargeback with your bank without contacting Nintendo support first, Nintendo may automatically ban or suspend your account for suspected fraud.
- Step 1 Log in to your Nintendo account online and check your 'Purchase History' to confirm what was bought.
- Step 2 If you believe your account was hacked, contact Nintendo Support directly to investigate and request a refund before calling your bank.
What if I don't own a Nintendo console?
If you do not have a Nintendo account, contact your bank immediately to report the unauthorized transaction and cancel your compromised card.
Dispute Rights & Fraud Prevention
If you suspect this charge is fraudulent or billing in error, you have strict federal rights protecting your account.
Always review your statement carefully and take action within 60 days.
What should I do if I don't recognize this charge?
First, check with family members or anyone authorized on your account. If the charge remains unrecognized, contact your bank immediately to report it. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), you have 60 days from the statement date to dispute unauthorized credit card charges.
How long does it take for a disputed charge to be removed?
Once you file a dispute, your bank must acknowledge it within 30 days and resolve it within two billing cycles (not exceeding 90 days). During this time, the disputed amount is usually placed on a provisional hold, meaning you do not have to pay it.
