anyone could help me ?
I have a question,about several english sencente.
Now i have let it under :
To validate your card, we run a $1.01 pre-auth. This pre-auth will never turn into a real charge, but it may appear on your statement. If you have any questions, please contact us before submitting this form.

I couldn't undertand "$1.01 pre-outh"?

I am looking forward your answer.Thank you.

Hi Elaine

This just means that they will take $1.01 from your account to check that it is a real credit card account with funding in it. It's just a security check so that they can make sure you are a genuine user and able to pay your bills.

I think they then put the $1 back in once they've checked your account is genuine

Hope this helps. :)
