• Purchases for Training or Events: Charges may appear for LinkedIn Learning courses or industry-related events that require payment.
• Advertising Costs: Businesses using LinkedIn Ads may see charges based on their advertising campaigns, often linked to clicks or impressions.
• Currency Conversion Fees: If billed internationally, users may incur additional fees due to currency conversion.

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the linkedin via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the linkedin refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with linkedin, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle, you can have Chargeback do it for you.
