ASI*KICKSTARTER COM 866-749-7545 WAUS

This is a charge from a program called Kickstarter. Kickstarter is a project starter run through Amazon. If you have made a donation to some persons Kickstarter project then that is this charge. I was just recently charged by Kickstarter for a donation that I made almost a month ago. Hope this helped.

Per AMEX, my $50 AMEX Kick Starter charge had the same reference number as my tile charge. Tiles are those little square tiles that are supposed to track, via GPS, items that you attach them to. BTW, the tiles only work if they happen to come within 100ft (Bluetooth) of another phone which happens to have the tile app installed, then ONLY IF THE APP IS RUNNING!!! How many people, that the tile may come within 100' of, do you think would happen to have the tile app running, unless they have lost something that has their tile attached to it???

I am disputing this charge

I had a similar charge. I donated to a band to get an album produced and such. It's usually a donation of some sort from what I've seen. The "donatee" usually offers something back to the donator also

If you see this charge, don't panic bc you must have donated to a program, or an event and have forgotten. Perhaps a group or a friend who is raising money for a cause? - ASI*Kickstarter lets you choose what you want in exchange for your donation, which is super cool and very innovative - most organizations don't give you anything except a letter for tax purposes.

At any rate, the financial transaction you see is legit unless you did not do any of the above (which I doubt) bc criminals would never fund art projects or water wells in Africa =)

I thought the charge was a mistake on my credit card, but when I read the previous explanations I remembered that I had made a donation to Ensemble Studio Theater in New York where my son is a member.

This is the realised crowdfunding project for the square dance documentation movie which now could be made.

So don't worry. It's ok.

Looks like a way for someone to hide where they're spending money...

Major problem at tax time is whether the donations through Kickstarter qualify for tax deduction~!

This is a fradulent charge if you did not go to Kickstarter. I have had my identity stolen 3 times, and they start with small charges, like $1.00, or to non-profits to see if they clear and go unnoticed, then charge more. Our business account recently was charged by this, and we are not donating to any Kickstarter project, as I manage the finances. The people saying otherwise are probably the trolls taking people's money.

I believe this is from the DigiSpark KickStarter project from digistump.com

Had a $200.00 charge on my Discover card that I did not authorize. The only time I have used Kickstarter is to help people that I know and I always used another credit card. I called the toll free number and it went to Amazon; they had no clue what it was for (wow, shocker) so I had to call Discover. They are disputing the charge.
