So I understand that Blizz does a $1 auth fee to check and see if your card is valid to use. What is odd is that for a few days I was seeing the $1 plus the $16.38 sub fee pending in my account but today the $1 fee AND the$16.38 sub fee BOTH fell off. I wouldn’t normally care but I’m trying to make sure everything pending has cleared. I don’t need an unexpected charge later to go through and overdraft me as sometimes I am budgeted very close til my payday. Has this ever happened to anyone? I see the order on my Blizz transaction history but not on my bank transaction history.

What’s the date on your last sub payment? Does it match up with the last few days or the next few days of this month?

You should Google “how to balance a checking account.”

It’s dated for March 11th on the Battle net order history.

And you should Google “How to avoid behaving obnoxiously in public spaces.”
If you have nothing useful to say, don’t bother saying anything.

What about your February payment? Also in that part of the month, say between Feb 9th and Feb 13th?

I am returning after being unsubbed for a while so I didn’t have one last month.
(Thank you so much Ohgodmyeyez. I really appreciate your help.)

Hm. In that case, it’s hard for me to make an educated guess on it. So, you’re gonna want to make a couple of calls/contacts on this one.
First thing I’d do is contact Blizzard’s billing:

If they don’t see anything weird, then I’d give your bank a call.

where do you live that a sub fee costs 16.38?
Somewhere where the tax rate is 9.2% on digital purchases, presumably. So, most likely Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, Illinois, New York, Arizona, Nevada, California, Washington, Oklahoma, or Iowa.

Easy answer. Be a anon on the interweb and pretend like you are all knowing and everyone else is wrong. Oh you said avoid… Oh.

I’m not familiar with them, to be honest. Sounds like they have a reputation for needless snark, though?

California does not tax digital goods. I live in California. my sub is 14.99 has been since day one.
Not really, i just have a personal grudge against the guild i used to be one of their healers during ToS/Antorus and the leader ship is funky to say the least in the worst way.
