You got any source about the pre-authorizing credit cards RE: Echo and Fire TV?

 Neither the Echo or the Fire TV,  but the pre-orders I did in the last 3 months were not billed until they were shipped. 
One physical,  one digital.
I think what mycurlylocks meant was that you have to have a valid credit card attached to the account to do pre-orders.
