How will I be charged? Your card will be pre-authorized for $38.70 (the cost of a 30 minute reading). Your final transaction total will only be based on the length of the call with your psychic. All calls charged at just $1.29/minute. We pre-authorize every transaction to verify your payment method because we do not know what the length of your reading will be. Pre-authorization is a common practice for many industries such as gas stations, hotels, and car rental companies. Once your reading is completed, the pre-authorization will be cleared and you will only be charged for the length of your reading.
