ok I know this probably isn't the right place for this and it is an issue i have, but i'm not exactly trying to get help with it here, just wondering if anybody else has experienced this, that is, random charges from Blizzard.

It's happened to me 3 different times and today I looked in my account and, not that it's a big deal, but there were two different $1 charges. the previous times they were much larger, I think even in the hundreds of dollars which I had to dispute. i'm almost 100% nobody has my card number and is using it for blizzard purchases, because the first time i didn't even cancel my card.

anyway, I rarely check the details on my cards and my purchase history, so it wouldn't surprise me one bit if i've been charged by them with out even knowing it. time to start buying game cards... and I'd watch your guys' accounts closely If I were you. it's pretty ridiculous...

Q u o t e:


ah, probably. I canceled my account then reactivated it with the same credit card info. though. still don't know what was going on with the other ones though. as it turns out a lot of people seem to have similar problems after a looked around on the web, i guess that's no surprise though considering how many subscribers they have. still pretty lame though...


We do NOT just randomly charge people, One.

You are most likely seeing a one dollar verification 'pending' that is very common on internet transactions. That is never actually taken from you, it verifies the card is valid and goes away on it's own in a few days.

Should you ever have a question about charges, by all means - feel free to contact our Billing department.
