About The Washington Post

The Washington Post is a leading U.S. newspaper and digital media organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. It offers comprehensive coverage of politics, national and world news, business, technology, culture, and more through its print edition, website, and mobile apps. Known for its investigative journalism and in-depth reporting, it operates primarily on a subscription model for its digital content.

A charge with a descriptor like "TWP*Sub" and an address of 1301 K Street NW, Washington, DC almost always refers to a subscription with The Washington Post—typically a digital subscription, a print + digital bundle, or a promotional trial converting to a paid plan. The long alphanumeric string (e.g., "Sub76296015") generally corresponds to an internal subscription or billing reference number. Charges are usually recurring monthly or annually, and may start after the end of a free trial or introductory offer.

If you have questions about this charge, first sign in at washingtonpost.com and check the "Account" or "My Subscription" section to review active subscriptions, billing dates, and invoices. You can also search your email for Washington Post order confirmations or renewal notices. For help, contact their subscriber services via the support links on their website or by phone/chat; have the last four digits of your card, your email address, and any subscription ID handy. If you don’t recognize the charge and cannot locate any associated account, you can dispute it through your card issuer after confirming no one else in your household set up the subscription.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the descriptor "TWP*Sub" on my card statement mean?

"TWP*Sub" followed by a number and the address 1301 K Street NW, DC indicates a subscription charge from The Washington Post, usually for a digital or print + digital plan. The number after "Sub" is typically an internal subscription or billing reference ID.

Is this a recurring subscription charge from The Washington Post?

Yes, most Washington Post subscription charges are recurring—typically billed monthly or annually. The billing date is based on when you started your subscription or when a trial converted to a paid plan. You can see your renewal and billing schedule in your account at washingtonpost.com under your subscription settings.

How do I cancel my Washington Post subscription to stop future charges?

Log in to washingtonpost.com, go to your profile or account area, and open the "My Subscription" or "Manage Subscription" section. There you’ll find options to cancel or modify your plan. If you cannot see a cancel option, use the listed phone or chat support for Subscriber Services to request cancellation directly.

Can I get a refund for a recent Washington Post charge I didn’t intend to renew?

Refund eligibility depends on the subscription terms and how far into the billing period you are. Contact Washington Post Subscriber Services via the help/contact page on washingtonpost.com, reference the date and amount of the charge, and ask whether a partial or full refund is possible. Have your account email and last four digits of your card ready.

Why was I charged after a Washington Post free trial ended?

Washington Post free trials typically convert automatically to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless cancelled in advance. When this happens, you’ll see a charge like "TWP*Sub" for the agreed monthly or annual rate. Check your original trial confirmation email for the renewal date and terms, then review or cancel the subscription in your account if desired.

How can I confirm which Washington Post plan I’m being billed for?

Sign in at washingtonpost.com and go to your account or subscription page. There you can see your current plan type (e.g., Digital subscription, All-Access, or Student/Educator plan), the rate, billing frequency, and next renewal date. Compare this information with the amount and date on your card statement.

What should I do if I don’t recognize a Washington Post charge and can’t find an account?

First, search all your email addresses for messages from The Washington Post or washingtonpost.com, and try using the "Forgot password" feature with those emails. If no account is found, contact Subscriber Services with the exact charge date and amount so they can look it up. If they confirm there is no account linked to you or your household and you still suspect fraud, contact your card issuer to dispute the charge and request a new card number.

Why do I see multiple Washington Post charges in the same month?

Multiple charges in one month may occur if you changed plans, had a trial convert to a paid subscription, were billed for sales tax separately in some regions, or if a failed payment was retried. Review your billing history in your washingtonpost.com account or contact Subscriber Services to have them explain each transaction.
