When will the preorder be charged?

from Stardock Forums
A quick question: if we preorder by credit card, will we be charged now, when the beta starts, or when the product goes gold/ships?  Thanks!

If like Sins it was charged the day I pre-ordered the game.

Typically with our preorders you only get charged when you're issued your beta key, or if you order after the beta ends, at release. Depending on the bank you use they may put on a 24-48 hour hold for the amount of the order, but the actual charge won't happen until later.

That's what I thought happened when I preordered Twilight and Dark Avatar, but I couldn't remember. I'm trying to get a friend to preorder this with me, and he wanted to know for sure. Thanks guys!

So what happens if we used a debit card and don't have the money in the account when you happen to charge...?

Unless your bank provides overdraft protection, it would likely fail, and you'd need to sort it out with sales or reorder.

In a stroke of "genius", my credit card company just sent me an email about issuing me a new number, so they can give me "added bonuses and benefits". I have a message in to Stardock sales asking how I go about changing the number so I don't miss out on the beta. How bloody annoying. Thanks Discover!
