Why was my card charged on my new subscription?

When your Subscription is created, a $1 authorization is made on your Credit or Debit Card.  This authorization is only to validate your card and we cancel it immediately. 

Depending on your bank, the turnaround time for this pending charge to disappear can range from a few minutes to a few days. However, in the majority of cases, it will be removed within 1 to 5 business days.

Worry not, though! The authorization process has no bearing on your fulfillment or shipping time. So even if your bank is one of the few for whom this process takes a few days, your order will not be held up during that time.
