About The Business Journals
The Business Journals is a network of local business news and information websites and print publications operated by American City Business Journals. They publish in-depth local business coverage, including company news, real estate and development, banking and finance, technology, and executive profiles across dozens of U.S. metropolitan markets. Access is typically provided through digital subscriptions, print subscriptions, market-specific memberships, and premium data products.
A charge from “THE BUSINESS JOURNALS” or descriptors mentioning “THE BUSINESS JOURN CIRCHELP@BIZJ” usually relates to a subscription or renewal for one of their local business journal markets or for digital access across their sites. This may be a recurring subscription charge, an introductory offer that rolled into a standard rate, or a charge for premium data, lists, or special publications. The date codes in the descriptor (e.g., “PURCHASE AUTHORIZED ON 06/05”) refer to when your card was authorized for the subscription or renewal.
If you have questions about this charge, start by checking your email for receipts or renewal notices from an address ending in @bizjournals.com or similar, and log into your account on their website to review your subscription status and billing history. You can contact their circulation or customer service team (often referenced in descriptors as “CIRCHELP@BIZJ”) to dispute a charge, request a refund, or cancel auto-renewal. If you cannot locate an account tied to your email, ask them to search by your card’s last four digits and billing name, and coordinate with your card issuer if you suspect unauthorized use.
