I too have been using a prepaid card to try and subscribe and learned, today, that I have exhausted all the money from it by trying, twice, to subscribe to the 180 days. I know there are a few posts from people that have the same problem as my mates and I, I just want to know if how we will be reimbursed.
They could be holds on the account. Even if they appear as charges, they require SE's intent to collect on them. This is usually done as a nightly process. When you make the payment it 'hits' your account as a hold and may very well appear as a charge. SE/3rd party would then send electronic documents in a nightly batch to actually draft the payments. If they were rejected on the site, the edocs may or may not have the card info to draft said payments. The process can differ but that is a standard for many companies. I cannot say that the edocs will contain the request or not, but if it were a payment to the company I work for, I could tell you it is not an actual charge. Also, depending on how your financial institution handles the pending charges, they may not drop for up to 10 business days.

EDIT: Payment reimbursement would be from your bank when the hold is released. The bank may require SE to contact them to drop the holds earlier than the up to 10 day drop off.
