A charge from 1642MTL on a Visa statement is typically related to the purchase of a membership (e.g., Carte Renard), junior "Petits Renards" membership, matchday-related activities, or merchandise such as hats, scarves, or glassware bought through their website or at events. Memberships are generally billed for a one‑year period from the date of purchase, and online orders are processed via common payment processors like Square, which is why the descriptor may start with a prefix like “SQ *” followed by “1642MTL.”([1642mtl.com](https://www.1642mtl.com/pages/carte-renard-1?utm_source=openai))
If someone has questions about a 1642MTL charge, they should first review recent email confirmations and receipts from the 1642MTL online shop or membership sign‑up, and check their bank statement for the exact date and amount. To resolve issues, cardholders can contact 1642MTL directly by email or through the contact form and social media links provided on their website, or speak to group volunteers at their kiosk near Section 114 on CF Montréal match days. If the charge still seems unfamiliar after contacting 1642MTL, the cardholder can then follow up with their bank to dispute the transaction or request further investigation.([1642mtl.com](https://www.1642mtl.com/pages/carte-renard-1?utm_source=openai))

How can I cancel or avoid renewing a 1642MTL membership?
Because 1642MTL sells fixed‑term, one‑year memberships rather than month‑to‑month subscriptions, there is usually no automatic renewal to cancel. To avoid being charged again in the future, simply do not repurchase a membership when the current one expires. If you believe you were charged in error or want to discuss a renewal, contact 1642MTL directly via the email address listed on their contact page.
How do I request a refund or change for a 1642MTL purchase?
For questions about refunds—for example, if you were charged the wrong amount, ordered the wrong item, or can’t attend an event—you should contact 1642MTL by email using the address on their Contact page, providing your name, the purchase date, amount, and any order or membership number from your confirmation email. They handle refunds or corrections on a case‑by‑case basis according to their internal policies.([1642mtl.com](https://www.1642mtl.com/pages/contactez-nous-contact-us?utm_source=openai))
What are common amounts I might see from 1642MTL?

Why do I see “SQ *1642MTL” instead of just 1642MTL on my statement?
Many 1642MTL purchases are processed through Square, a payment processor. On card statements, Square often appears as a prefix like “SQ *” followed by the merchant name, so “SQ *1642MTL” indicates a legitimate payment to 1642MTL that was handled by Square, not a separate company.
How can I verify a 1642MTL charge before contacting my bank?
First, search your email (including spam) for order confirmations or membership emails from 1642MTL around the transaction date, and check your 1642mtl.com account if you created one at checkout. Next, compare the amount on your bank statement with current pricing on their website for memberships or merchandise you might have purchased. If it still doesn’t look familiar, email 1642MTL with the date, amount, and last four digits of your card (but not your full card number) so they can look up the transaction.
How do I contact 1642MTL about a billing or membership issue?
You can contact 1642MTL through the Contact Us page on 1642mtl.com, which lists their primary email address for questions, or reach out via their official social media accounts on platforms like Facebook, X (Twitter), and Instagram.
