Resumen del cargo
This is a legitimate charge from Bath & Body Works.
What is the Bath & Body Works charge?
If you see a charge on your statement from Bath & Body Works, it is typically identified by a 'billing descriptor' such as 'BATH & BODY WORKS' or 'BBW'.
This represents a purchase made in a physical retail store or online at BathandBodyWorks.com.
Temporary Holds vs. Actual Charges
When you place an order, your bank may place a 'pending' authorization hold on your funds to verify that the money is available. This might look like a charge, but it is not a final payment.
If you have made an online purchase, you may see a temporary authorization when you place the order, and then a final charge once the items actually ship.
- Step 1 Log in to your account at BathandBodyWorks.com to see if the charge matches a confirmed order.
- Step 2 Wait 2-4 business days for temporary authorization holds to drop off.
Will Bath & Body Works email me for my credit card number?
No, Bath & Body Works will never call or email you asking for your credit card number or password. If you suspect a phishing attempt, contact your bank.
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.
