I noticed that when I subscribed to the game, Cryptic charged $1 to my card. Do you know what this is for?

    To see if its an authentic account. It will be refunded. A lot of places do this.

    This is a placeholder charge for the actual amount that will be deducted. It happens to my card over the weekend often.

    I think so when you sign up using your credit card they do a payment check to ensure the details you give them are valid. How this work is your card is charged a small amount 1 pound / 1 dollar and normally then taken off again. In most cases you never actually see this on your bill it appears in your cases it may have done.

    Might be worth calling your credit card company first to check this is the case before calling the accounts team.
