The card is not charged on its own

A purchase is for the term you picked. If you bought a year, a year is written. As the term approaches, the date sits in the account. To renew, you pay again. A stored card is not charged on its own.

A discounted first year is not the second year’s price. If year two and year three are on the card, those figures are totals. See the number in the basket before you pay.
