Why is there a need for the payment gateway to deduct a $1 fee from my credit limit when I register for auto renewal of season parking by credit card?

Question

Accepted Answer

For the purpose of authenticating the registration, a $1 transaction authentication will be performed. However, the $1 charge will not be reflected on your credit card statement, and it will automatically be reinstated back to your credit limit within 7-14 days, depending on your issuing bank.
