I recently reactivated my account about 2 weeks ago and yesterday (today really, 1AM atm) was my last day of the free trial, I wished to continue so I went to add a subscription and I added the info of a new prepaid card that had $15.45 on it and ordered one for 1 month at $14.95. I thought everything was fine but apparently when i went to log in just now my account was closed. First thing I did was check the prepaid card and apparently EA charge me $1 on the 18th. I guess right after I finished setting up the subscription. So all the card had left was $14.45 and the subscription fee was declined.

with normaly credit cards or debit cards.. you'd never see that 1 dollar charge, because its charged to check the payment info is correct then they imediately reverse it...

and most people never see it on there statements because its imediately reversed...

but the prepaid card might work difrently... you'd have to contact the card's support.

verification charges are usualy just 1 dollar, or in the instance of gas stations upwards of 90dollars or something.. but always whole amounts....

$1.47 wouldnt be a verification charge, most likely thats a tax.... normaly i'd think it would be included in the 14.95 though, not seperate...

but maybe mythics system submits them seperately because not everyone is charged tax on internet transactions, only certain states require a tax to be paid.

It's an additional $1 to fix the bugs. Mythic quality!
