I have two or three, quite small, debits on my current credit card
statement that I don't recognise. They are from the beginning of this
month so a few weeks ago, enough to forget exactly what I was doing
then! :-)

Two of them are of the form:-
11/06/2026,AMAZON* Nnnllnlln LONDON GB,--u-u.pp

and the other is:-
01/06/2026,AMAZON UK* Nlnllnlln LONDON GB,--u.pp

where 'l' is an upper-case letter and 'n' is a decimal digit.
(oh, and pp is the pence part of the payment).


My Amazon Prime account doesn't use the credit card where these
transactions have appeared so it's nothing to do with that. It's
probably some payment to a third-party (takeaway food maybe?) that
uses Amazon to handle the payment but it would be nice to be sure!

Would they show upon the amazon pay page?

Sometimes small charges are used as tests by those who have stolen your
card, but they may also be used by legitimate organisations for the same purpose.

you might not remember, but does google?

I recently had something similar, telling me that Amazon US had charged
me a nominal sum. I had no idea what it was about, Amazon UK could not
find any record, so did whatever they needed to ensure that I was
reimbursed. I later received a message from Amazon US, saying they were
sorry I had decided to cancel my Prime membership. I still don't know
exactly what happened.
If it had been this past week, I could have blamed the heat, but this
was a couple of months ago.
