Account, payments & subscriptions

[LesleyE]

I would like to address a problem with ROKU direct, by email, but as you do not offer any customer service email I am posting my problem here.
I have just discovered that, whilst I subscribe directly with AcornTV and have an annual subscription with them, with which I log into the channel on my ROKU stick, ROKU has also been charging me for a subscription with them. I only ever subscribed with the company directly following an offer and the double subscription was not clear until I raised a question direct with AcornTV.
My ROKU stick is the only device I use to watch this channel and I believed I had logged into the channel according to the instructions given when I took up the subscription with AcornTV, so want to know why ROKU has also been taking a second subscription (cancelled yesterday).
I believe I have been over-charged by £79.82 and would like to discuss this with someone.

This brings up an interesting question.  I saw on my bank account on 10/3 that Roku charged me $3.24.  A small amount, to be sure, but the thing is Roku should not have charged me anything.  I pay for all my streaming services (Sling, Amazon, Netflix, etc) directly, and other that buying a new Roku device a few months ago I've done nothing that should have invoked a charge to me from them.  I'd certainly like to know what's going on.

In the meantime call your credit card provider at the no. on the back of your card and explain the situation and shut down this un-authorized auto-pay by filing a charge dispute.

Go to my.roku.com/account and check purchases and subscriptions.  If the charge is actually from Roku it should appear there and you should be able to see what the charge is for.

My mistake.  Sorry.  I thought I was paying for "Classic Reel" directly to the service but not so.  The payment is going through Roku and that is what the $3.24 is for.

This is happening with me as well. I have 2 streaming channels that are appearing on 2 different credit cards! A $5.99 per month per card. How did this happen?

Here are some ways I can think of:  You have more than one Roku account.  You subscribed via Roku and via the channel directly. You have more than one account directly with the channel. You have multiple streaming platforms and are using their own payment systems.*  Those are just some ways of doing it - I have no idea which if any of those might apply to your case. 

* Basically if you use a platform payment system like Roku pay, neither the content provider, nor other platforms know about this, so they'll all let you create a separate subscription and payment through them.
