Gray Charges

You know, like Viagra or Cialis, charging up the gray-haired people and getting them to act like teenagers in the first act of an '80s horror movie.

In finance, “gray charges” represent those sneaky or forgotten subscriptions that bleed your credit card bill every month.

Did you sign up for a fancy Swedish cinema streaming service and then never watch anything on it? Did you forget to uncheck a box on an online purchase and end up paying for the extended warranty? Did you sign up for a free trial and have it quietly turn into a pay service after a month?

Those kinds of things represent gray charges.
