To verify your AWS account, AWS typically makes a small charge ($1) to validate the credit card associated with the account. This is an automatic process initiated by AWS once you add your credit card details to your account. If the charge hasn't occurred, here are a few steps you can follow:
-
Check Your Details: Please ensure that the card details you provided are correct. If there are any mistakes, update the information.
-
Use a Different Card: If your card is not accepted, try using a different credit or debit card.
-
Contact Your Bank: If AWS can't make the charge, there might be a problem with the card issuer. You might need to contact your bank or card issuer to authorize the payment from AWS.
-
Contact AWS Support: If you've confirmed that your card details are correct and your card issuer isn't blocking the charge, but you're still having issues, you can contact AWS Support for more help.
Just so you know, there might be a slight delay between when the charge is made and when it appears on your statement, depending on your bank's processing times. It's often a good idea to wait a few days and then recheck your bank statement to see if the charge has appeared.
Remember, this charge is temporary and will be refunded back to you. It's only there for verification purposes. AWS does not keep the $1.
