billing Does AWS routinely perform payment verification?

I got a +$1 and -$1 charge on my credit card from AWS, and I haven't made any changes on my AWS free tier account, and also haven't been using it. I'm not sure if they're just regularly checking if my card is still valid, or if my credit card has been compromised.

Got a random one of those today too for my Amazon.com account. Wonder if they are testing and flagging other payment methods to root out fraud.
