Why isn't my U.S. credit card being accepted? |
| Please make sure that the "Billing Address" you entered into the registration form matches the "Mailing Address" on your credit card statement. If it doesn't match exactly, then your subscription can not be processed. Also, please be sure your credit card has credit available. If you are still having difficulty registering, please submit a support inquiry to the Vice Apparel Store Support Team and a representative will assist you further. |

My credit card was charged more than once, how do I get a credit? |
| Each time your credit card is charged successfully, you will automatically receive a billing receipt via email. Please note that $1 authorizations are NOT charges to your account, and therefore, do not constitute a double billing. A single billing may consist of multiple authorizations. If you have received more than one receipt, please submit a support inquiry to the Vice Apparel Store Support Team, and we will promptly issue you the credit(s). |

What are the $1 dollar "charges" that appear on my credit card statement? |
| Please note that each time you attempt to register, the system will attempt to process your credit card payment. The $1 "charge(s)" are a normal part of the authorization process. The system seeks a $1 authorization to verify that the credit card is valid. This authorization "charge" is only a test, and will be reversed automatically by your credit card company before you receive your next statement. | |

What does it mean when I receive the message "your credit card has been processed recently and we cannot immediately charge it again, please try again in a few minutes"? |
| Please note that the error message "your credit card has been processed recently and we cannot immediately charge it again, please try again in a few minutes" occurs because the system is designed to prevent accidental double billing. However, it is not an indication of the success of the transaction. If your credit card was charged and your registration successful, you will immediately recieve a billing receipt. If you have not received these emails, then please wait a few minutes and try to register again. You may need to close and reopen your web browser. If you still receive this error message, please submit another support inquiry and a representative will assist you further. Also, you may not have received confirmation via email due to your webmail service provider. Please refer to the "Why haven't I received e-mail notifications?" section of the FAQ to learn more about this issue. |
