No worries, you do not have been charged. Your first month of subscription is entirely for free, however, our payment provider has pre-authorised your card for authentication purposes. Pre-authorisation allows us to confirm that your card is valid and hasn’t been lost or stolen. This can appear as a temporary reduction in your balance, but it is not an actual charge and will be released within 24 hours.
