what are these authorization charges?

do they add $60 to ur pool account so that u can use it when u win a name or do they take it as a one time fee ?

 

[flybuzz]

you will notice your available balance is decreased by $60 every time you add/change credit card. But the charge will not appear in your statement and in a few days the balance should return to normal before the $60 charge.

 

[junaid]

you mean, that the pool balance would become $60 everytime i add a credit card and this $60 would be charged from my credit card ? right?

sorry my english sux.

They say you don;t pay until after the fact but they do authorize the amount on your cc - this is to prove that your cc is valid and they can hopefully get the money when a service is complete.

So in a way "yes" they charge your cc - you have $60 less in available balance on your cc to use - it is a "preauth" but after about 10 days, if there is no actual charge, the cc company just deletes it.
