Put it in the damn bank.
Some online accounts have higher interest than traditional banks (although you do need to fund it from a traditional checking account)
Put some of the money in a traditional checking account (to fund the online savings) and the rest in a interest bearing savings account

bank the rest.
Look into a bank CD - you will get more interest then if it was in a savings account, and it's not a risk like stocks.
Then just forget it's there until it matures.
Shop interest rates to get the best deal, and make sure it's a big bank and not some small local job.

A checking account allows you to access your money (via ATM and/or debit card, teller withdrawal and by cheque.). You can write checks on the account and usually comes with a debit card that can be used for purchases in stores, online and as an ATM card. You can use your monthly statement to keep track of your spending.

I am about 8400 in debt from student loans and credit card debts.
Between house, mine and wifes student loans, and other little crap, about $175,000. Good thing is I own one of my vehicles, 1 payment left on the other and NO CREDIT CARDS.
House prices in my area are ~£300,000 ($495,000) for a three bedroom, so anybody buying one will instantly be £300,000 (minus deposit) in debt to the mortgage company.
I bet 8400 isn't sounding so bad now is it?
only around 1500EUR from a loan i made for a TV...
No debt. Currently a junior at the University of Arizona. Gotta love those scholarships
i am about £1000+ in debt, i havnt paid anything back for aprox 5years now, i am probably black-listed LOL
* spent most of the money on canabis and munchies

Well if you look at the bidding history, a guy was outbidding himself from 1.7k to 4.5k Then about 10 users with 0 feedback got it up to 14.5k. It smells as bad as a rotten fish at a sunny day.
I would consider it though if it had a QWERTY.

The seller could complain to Pay Pal, and as screwed up as Pay Pal is, god only knows how their incompetence could manifest itself into a never ending series of gremlins, always screwing up your account balance.
And we thank you for your support.
How about borrowing some cash to pay for it and pay whoever you borrowed from next week. Sounds easier.

That's why they invented ambulances.
No insurance, made too much money for government assistance, spent $2k a month out of pocket on my wife's medical bills (she was denied insurance from every provider), and the cost of an ambulance would have hurt when we got the bill. He ended up with several stitches, but no other harm.
I could write a novel, but it would be too depressing. That was 6 years ago, things are a little easier now.

It's probably just a hold on the credit card to see if it's valid. The money will be back on the card after a few days.

These kind of holds are normal when you add a card on-line pretty much anywhere.
It's not a charge. It will go away. (unless you accidentally actually bought something else)
I understand that parents (and you) don't necessarily have familiarity with how that works, and that's okay - but it's nothing to get bent out of shape over. You could always just Google it - someone else in the history of the Internet has probably already freaked out about it or wondered what it was and was answered by people who knew.

Its googles wallet's rules. Whenever you add a new card they will take $1 (equivalent to Rs.50) as a confirmation. They either return return it after a day few days or once you have done a purchase with the wallet. For me, i got a refund. You can show her the FAQ in the Google wallet support page. They explained it pretty well.

Tell her to chill! This happens on every kind of online app store! The money will be refunded. (Not sure if it will be if the card is blocked). And I hope 50 Rs is not a big deal for you. Or you could do some self imposed punishment to recover it...

Ah the wonders of generation X and modern technology...
This is normal, nearly every pay service that asks you to enter credit card details does this. It also happens for direct-account linking in Europe. Paypal, for instance, writes off a small ammount (5 cents when I did this) to check if the link is valid, and then sends it back within 48 hours.
This IS mentioned when you link the credit card as the next-step procedure. You should've read it more carefully.
I know. My mom also freaks out about this stuff. Here show this -

Guys, I added my debit card to Play Store on 9th January. It's 25 days now and even I was charged Rs. 50 back then which hasn't been refunded yet. Called up my bank and they say this charge is not refundable. Seriously? I never agreed for paying this. Who refunds this back? Google does? Or the bank? I've been charged one or two bucks from PayPal before but it was always refunded back in time. I'd rather spend 50 on a deserving app than for simply adding my card.
