I actually used my VISA debit card, and it's showing as a pending charge.
Since we're into the weekend, I won't know for sure until Monday night when my bank updates accounts if it's going through. But, at this point, it doesn't look like an authorization test. It looks like a real charge. Additionally, I've signed up for other Net services where a valid credit card was needed. In those cases, I was never charged anything... just as promised.
