You can also buy yourself some time and save money on fees by deferring all withdrawals to an end-of-month payment. That's what Apple does with iTunes, and it means they don't have to pay fees on microtransactions like $.99.


At least for me Apple certainly doesn't wait until the end of the month, although they do batch small transactions at seemingly random intervals.


That sounds right. The monthly interval was pretty arbitrary, but just seemed sensible. Wonder what triggers the withdrawals.


Probably the dollar amount owing by the account.
