Today i opened a account that has been down for 5 month's.
I used my visa card to open it and pay the $12.99,I checked
my visa statement and EA hit my card for $1.00 charge 4 times. Does anyone know if they will give me my $4.00 back, or is it there's now ?AND why would they need to tap my card for times any way, is once not enough?

the charge should be a pending charge. It will drop off once they charge the 12.99 to the card. It happened to me when I opened an old account as well. Its their way of making sure the money is on the card.

Shouldn't be anything unusual. Think it's just like a little nudge to make sure there is actually something there for it to charge. Once the actual charge takes place it should be removed and replaced by the main one of 12.99. A lot of sites will do this.

It's usually just a dollar (once) but yes it's normal.
