Why was I charget 15 cent for adding my credit card?

[kaidop]

I wanted to buy a product using my tablet s7+ and added my credit card, samsung charged for that 15 cent, but nowhere is written that this proccess will cost me 15 cent.... like you will earn hidden millions of euros from millions of users... so I want to get back my 15 cent. What have I do for that ?

Yeah I was charged 15p to add my card details when setting up my smart monitor. Chat with support to see what reason they provide. It might be out of their control. Or they 're crafty little blighters 🤷

Thanks for the answer... it's not ok by charging 15cent just for nothing, no one does that... I can imagine what amount of money they collect with this action... but not telling the users (me) about that, using us and hidden costs to get rich ..... where can I find the support chat ?

I know some services make a small charge, usually 1p in the UK, to check that the details are correct and that they can actually make requests to the account. Its always refunded back to us. It could be that.

adding my credit card at several places like aliexpress, epic games, whatever, no one will charge anything until I buy something, weird... nut how can I contact samsung to get answers ?

This app has a chat function to Live Chat direct with Samsung customer services

Has anyone received an answer as to WHY the .15¢ charge just for adding a card to the Samsung pass?? Because I just added my card and was immediately charged I can not get an answer 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

It's a verification charge that gets refunded to your account within 7 business days.  Some companies do this in an attempt to make sure the card info you provided is active and has funds. Hope this helps

I was charged .15 also. at first I thought it was a scammed, trying to ping my bank to see if it would go through, so they could keep taking more.  However, I did..in the last few days, get a new bank card and I DO have a rather new Samsung phone.  At thus time I want to believe the consensus that it ..in..fact..a ping to make sure the account is verifiable.  I will just watch it closely....then I will holler.
