Step 1: Sign in to Microsoft Manage your payments

2. Select Investigate next to the card.

1. Go to Order history: https://account.microsoft.com/billing
2. Select Payment & billing > Order history
3. Set the date range to include the charge date.

To verify what the $129.99 Microsoft charge is for, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Manage your payments page of the Microsoft account dashboard and sign in with the account that might be using that Amex card: Manage your payments.
2. On the payment options page, locate the card and select Investigate next to it. This will help identify which Microsoft account and which purchase or subscription the charge belongs to. Learn more from the article How to investigate a billing charge from Microsoft.
3. Also review the Order history for that account:
   • Sign in at account.microsoft.com/billing.
   • Select Payment & billing > Order history and set the date range around the date of the $129.99 charge.
   • Look for an order with status Completed or Redeemed and amount matching $129.99. Select Order details to see what product or subscription it is.
4. If the charge does not appear in the order history for that account, there may be another Microsoft account (for example, a family member) using the same card. On the Payment options page, use Investigate to search for other accounts using the card.
5. If the charge still cannot be identified or appears fraudulent, follow the guidance in What to do if your credit or debit card info is stolen:
   • Check recent transactions on the card for other suspicious activity.
   • Consider contacting the card issuer to report possible fraud and follow their instructions.

If multiple similar charges appear or it looks like a duplicate payment, compare the last few months of order history and bank statements as described in I've been charged twice to see whether it is a late/recurring subscription payment or a true duplicate.
