Why is Gameflip charging $1 on my card instead of using credits and cash balance?

When you make a purchase with a credit or debit card on Gameflip, you might notice a $1 minimum charge on your card—even if you have sufficient Credits or Cash Balance in your wallet. This policy is in place to comply with our payment processor’s regulations.

Why the $1 Minimum Charge Applies

• Credit card payments are processed through our payment partner, which requires at least a $1 charge.
• If your purchase leaves a remaining amount to be charged that is less than $1 after using Credits and Cash Balance, you’ll be charged the $1 minimum instead of that smaller amount.
• Example: Suppose you used $2 in Credits and $4 in Cash Balance to cover a $7 purchase. The remaining $0.30 would normally go to your card—but instead you’ll be charged $1. The extra $0.70 stays in your wallet for future use.
