Find out what it was
- 1
Search your inbox and spam folder for FansClub and Join Fans Club: the welcome email shows which email address signed up.
- 2
Look at what was bought online on the day of the first charge or hold: the offer appears right after a payment on another site or app, so that purchase is usually where it started.
- 3
Compare earlier statements: $24 on about the same day each month means the membership has been renewing.
- 4
If the first amount showed as pending and later disappeared, it may have been the sign-up hold rather than a payment.
- 5
Ask others in your household whether they accepted a cash back offer with your card.
- 6

Why does it say “FANSCLUBZONE.COM”?
FansClub is a brand of Smarty, LLC, a California company that also runs the SmartyPlus cash back membership. The line names FansClub, as FANSCLUBZONE.COM (one of its web names) or as FANSCLUB.COM, not the shop or app where you saw the offer, and a statement and a bank alert people have shared show CAMARILLO CA after it. FansClub's web names FansClubZone, FansClubNow and FindFansClub all open the same Join Fans Club website.
Most people meet FansClub as a pop-up after paying for something else. People describe it after ordering food, booking a ride, buying movie, concert or lottery tickets or shopping online: an offer of $15 to $25 cash back that asks for card details. Taking it starts a FansClub trial, which the current sign-up page sets at 5 days at no cost, then $24 a month. FansClub's terms allow a hold on the card for up to the full monthly price at sign-up, which some banks show as a charge on the same day; it is collected if the trial is not cancelled in time. FansClub bills in US dollars, so outside the US your bank converts the amount, and people in the UK report about £18.
Why you might see this charge
- The $24 monthly fee, which starts when the trial ends without being cancelled.
- A hold for up to the full monthly price placed when the trial started, which some banks show as a pending or posted charge on the day of sign-up.
- A cash back or rebate offer accepted after paying for something else online, such as a food order, a ride or event tickets, which started the membership.
- A monthly renewal: the membership repeats every month until it is cancelled.
- A small check of the card of $1 or less, which FansClub's terms say is reversed within a few business days.
- A sign-up by someone else in your household who took the offer with your card.
Is FANSCLUBZONE.COM legit?
FansClub is a real paid membership run by Smarty, LLC, a California company that also runs SmartyPlus. Members can claim capped monthly rebates on sports gear, streaming, gym and similar costs and cash back on event tickets, paid by mailed check or through PayPal.
Most complaints are about how people joined: they say they accepted a cash back offer after another purchase without seeing that it started a paid monthly membership, or that $24 left their account on the day they signed up. Messages that use the FansClub name and ask for card details through a link are something else; check the charge against your own inbox and statements.
