A miscellaneous charge on your credit card refers to a transaction that doesn't fit into a specific category. This means that the charge may not be a typical purchase, or it is a purchase made at a business that doesn't have a specific merchant category code.
If you don’t recognize the miscellaneous charge on your account, you should reach out to your credit card issuer for clarification. It's possible that the charge is legitimate but not well-labeled, or it could be a mistake or unauthorized transaction that needs to be addressed.
