What is "TSR Food"?

The Spare Rib is a subscription-based service that delivers delicious, high-quality meals right to your doorstep. They make it easy to enjoy tasty food without the hassle of shopping or cooking. If you see a charge from them, it's likely for a meal plan subscription to keep those flavors coming your way! Here’s a quick breakdown of the billing name you'll see:

TSR: Stands for "Transaction Source Reference," it identifies the type of transaction source.
Food: This indicates the category of the transaction, which in this case is food-related purchases, like groceries or dining.

Verify With Receipt

The best way to tell if this charge is fraudulent is to find the receipt. You may have an electronic copy of the receipt, which Chargeback can help you find by searching your email accounts.

Chargeback helps you identify unwanted subscriptions and charges, and help you fight them to get your money back.

Additional services: Customers may be charged for extras like delivery fees, service fees, or tips not included in the initial charge.

If I see this charge, what should I do?
