The short answer
HLU*HULU is a Hulu subscription — the phone number in the descriptor is Hulu's billing support line. Add-ons (networks, no-ads tiers, Live TV) can push the amount well beyond the base price.
Why it shows up like this
Hulu's processor prefixes the charge HLU* and appends the support number. Bundles complicate things: Hulu can be billed by Disney, by Hulu directly, or through an app store depending on how it was set up.
Don’t recognize it? You might still
- Add-ons and tier upgrades changed the amount.
- The subscription may be part of a Disney bundle billed separately from a standalone Hulu you also pay for.
- App-store billing (Apple/Google/Roku) means the Hulu charge you're looking at belongs to someone else in the house.
What to do, in order
- Check the Hulu account page secure.hulu.com/account shows plan, add-ons, and billing party.
- Look for duplicate paths to Hulu A Disney bundle plus a legacy standalone Hulu is a common double-pay.
- Call the number in the descriptor The 877 number in the charge is genuinely Hulu billing support — a rare case where calling the descriptor works.
