Due this problem with small transactions, such as someone purchasing 20 songs at 1.70 or so, Apple worked out that a lot of Credit Card companies would get alerts and freeze the card. So they just tally up your purchases and charge your card the next day, unless it is a larger transaction, they seem to go through immediately. Again Apple rule the roost.

I could have sworn that the Kindle charges wouldn't be made until your account got to a certain amount - thought it was something like $3 or so. Has something changed or is this a glitch?

My understanding is that the credit card companies charge the merchants about 35 cents per transaction plus a few percent.
