If Prime is charging your card, it's typically because of a subscription service you've enrolled in, such as Amazon Prime. These charges usually indicate a monthly or annual membership fee. To resolve this, check your Prime account's subscription settings. Ensure you recognize the subscription and remember signing up for it. If the charge is unexpected, consider checking for any free trials that might have expired and automatically converted into a paid subscription. To prevent future charges, you can cancel the subscription through your account settings.
