Hidden deduction from credit cards

I am submitting a formal complaint against eDreams regarding a €99.99 charge for an annual Prime subscription that I did not knowingly intend to purchase. I used eDreams to purchase a flight ticket. I subsequently discovered that €99.99 had been charged to my credit card for an eDreams Prime annual subscription. In my view, the existence and cost of this annual subscription, and the fact that my card would later be charged €99.99, were not presented sufficiently clearly and prominently during the booking process for me to understand that I was agreeing to purchase a separate annual service. eDreams states that a welcome email was sent after booking explaining a 15-day free trial and the subsequent subscription charge. However, my complaint concerns whether clear and informed consent to the €99.99 annual payment was obtained during the purchasing process, before the charge was made. I am also concerned that the credit-card details provided for my travel booking were subsequently used for this separate subscription payment without a new, clear confirmation immediately before the annual charge. According to eDreams, my paid Prime subscription began on 18 September 2026 and runs until 18 September 2027. I objected promptly after discovering the charge. I have not used the Prime benefits since the annual charge and do not wish to use the service for the remainder of the subscription period. I contacted eDreams requesting cancellation and reimbursement of the €99.99. eDreams refused the refund and only disabled automatic renewal for the following year. I do not consider this an adequate resolution because it leaves me paying for almost an entire year of a service that I do not want or intend to use. I am therefore asking OCU for assistance in obtaining cancellation of the current Prime membership and reimbursement of the €99.99. Alternatively, if any amount is legitimately payable for the very short period before I requested cancellation, I request reimbursement of the unused portion. I would also like eDreams to provide evidence showing when and how I explicitly consented to the €99.99 annual subscription and the exact wording and screen displayed before completion of my original booking.
