anyone know what triggers Facebook to confirm your credit card? They do the $1.00 authorization charge and asking for the 4-digit code.
The reason I ask is because I can't see it on my Mastercard statement when they do that.
Hi cloudterrace,
They always check the card when you add it (at least here in Europe). The $1.00 authorization will not appear on your statement as it will stay in pending status and FB won’t proceed the charge. My experience is that it will lapse after 5-7 working days. The whole purpose of FB doing this is to make sure your card info is valid and not reported as lost or stolen.

I would wait a few days for it to show on your statement, I don't know of a way around it, and it seems pretty standard nowadays.
On second thought, try adding the card to pay for some gems in a game or something, and then using it to pay for ads, maybe it won't trigger the verification?
We get it a lot as well lately. It's annoying but usually it shows up in the statement right away once your request the authorisation. Sometimes it doesn't show tho, so we re-try it a few days later.
As maynzie said, you can appeal that you cant see the code and probably re-solve It via support.
