If you notice an unexpected $1–$2 charge from Church Motion Graphics (CMG) on your credit card or bank statement, here’s what you need to know.
What This Charge Is
The $1–$2 charge is a temporary authorization hold. It's used by some payment processors or banks to verify that the card is active and valid. This is common during:
-
A new subscription signup
-
Updating payment details
-
A reattempted or declined payment
These small charges are not actually billed and should disappear within a few business days.
What You Should Do
-
Wait a few days: These charges typically drop off automatically.
-
Check with your bank: Some banks list temporary holds in the same way as real charges.
-
Still concerned? Contact CMG Support and include a screenshot of the charge.
Is This a Double Charge?
No. This charge does not mean you’ve been billed twice. You will only be charged the subscription amount listed in your plan (monthly or annually). The $1–$2 is a temporary verification hold and is not added to your total.
