Problem continuing subscription

[CNitsah]

The $1.00 is a test to check if your card is legit. You're gonna get that money back (or rather, the money never leave your card, it's just reserved until the payment is validated or in this case, cancelled), it's usually pretty fast, but when I resubbed this month after a break, it took them 2 weeks (I don't really know if it's on the bank or SE).

But that test doesn't mean your sub has been done, after the $1 sub, you're supposed to have a second confirmation, that validate the payment of the sub, that you probably cancelled thinking everything was done. You'll probably have to begin anew from start, and they will re-ask you a $1 test transaction, but this time don't leave before the end.

The test transaction is not needed when it's a automatic renewal, only when you suspended your sub.
