Why is there a charge of $1.00 on my credit card?

When you make a purchase online or over the phone, we may temporarily charge your card $1.00 to help protect you from fraud.

The $1.00 charge will most likely be listed under a section of your online bill called "Pending Transactions" or "Pending Authorizations".

Please rest assured that this pending transaction will be automatically removed from your statement within 5 business days.

We make this small charge as a way of verifying the information that you have provided to us, such as your card security code and billing zip code.
