Why was I charged ten dollars when I created my account?

MASV validates credit cards on new accounts with a $10 pre-authorization test

MASV validates credit cards with a $10 pre-authorization test. This amount is released immediately after the test. Card issuers typically clear the pre-authorization in less than 7 days. Your card won't be charged unless you exceed the 15 GB egress (monthly) and 5 day free storage allotment. After that, you'll be subject to our standard Pay As You Go egress rates and Extended Storage rates, plus taxes.

Why does MASV run a pre-authorization test?

Pre-authorization tests on credit cards reduce fraud. This helps protect our system, our clients, and lets us spend our time wisely–providing the best service possible to our customers.
