How often will my credit card get charged?

Your account maintains a balance that is high enough to cover at least three days worth of spending.  Each time your balance dips below that amount, your credit card is charged to replenish your balance.

You can control how frequently your credit card is charged (and by how much) by changing your account's Refill Amount setting.  The AdCenter will give you an estimate of how many days your account can be depleted before the next automatic refill occurs.

To change your refill amount:

  1. Log into the LookSmart AdCenter using your e-mail address and password.
  2. Click on the Manage Account link that appears at the top of the page when you click on the Accounts tab.
  3. Note your Total Daily Budget in the blue box near the top of the page.  It will look like the box you see in Figure 1 below.
  4. Click the Account Details tab near the middle of your screen.
  5. Click on the Edit button that appears just below the Account Details tab.
  6. In  the column labeled Billing Information locate the Refill Amount pull-down that appears as you scroll down the page.
  7. Use the pull-down to change the Refill Amount.  Notice how the text below it changes as you change values.  Compare what you see to Figure 2 and Figure 3 as you choose lower or higher refill amounts.
  8. Once you have decided on your Refill Amount, click the Update Account Details button to save your changes.
