I just notice this charge on my card. Has anyone else notice this on theirs?
Thinking it could have something to do with Numismatic News.
I did call card company.

Not sure if it’s the same. But it sounds like you signed up for or said “yes” to something in the past. Or, you failed to say “no” so it continues.
This pesky small words at the bottom of everything that you can barely read but you have to click “yes” or “continue” (which means yes) to continue whatever your doing. Called terms of service or agreement or something.
There should be a phone number associated with the CC charge.

“TME Magazine references magazine sales that use customized marketing strategies to sell subscriptions to consumer groups, including airline frequent flyer program members, retail store customers & loyal clients of some of the world's largest brands.”
Just called the company it is for Numismatic News.
Sounds like a subscription bundler. Periodicals contract with these places to have them handle the subscriptions. it's common. I don't use them as direct subscription is far easier to MANAGE !!
I had no problem ending the subscription with them. I just forgot I even did it.
There are also a lot of unauthorized people soliciting subscription renewals. They charge high prices and then pass along the lowest rate to the publication taking the rake off the top. A quick scan of the F+W Media bankruptcy creditors - suggestive, not definitive - didn't show TME.

Glad you got it fixed, easily.
Those 'automatic renew' systems can surprise you..... I avoid them...Cheers, RickO
I check my credit card changes every day on my PC. The funny thing about this charge is was for a years subscription for only $ 39.00 dollars for a year. So this automatic renew was a great deal.
