Will my account still charge my card if I use plex in-game for my subscription?

I recently became able to buy the occasional plex using in-game isk to keep my account subscribed. If I redeem a plex in-game for an additional 30 days of game time, will my automatic subscription still charge my card that I have used to pay until now? Or, will it only charge if I am out of game time? I'd like to pay manually, in other words, rather than auto-pay, so I may use plex when I can and use my credit card when I have to.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

If I recall correctly, using a plex on an account with automatic billing merely moves the next billing date up 30 days from when you use the plex...e.i., you will still be billed, but 30 days later rather than the normal billing date.

As far as changing your subscription from auto-billing to manual plexing, you may need to go to the account manager webpage for that. Can't recall the address, but just google "Eve Online Account Management" and click on the top search.

Special Notice: Remember I said "from when you use the plex"? That's important, since plexing an acount would move your billing date up 30 days from the time you plex, not 30 days from the billing date. So, don't actually plex the account until just before the billing date.

Example: Billing date is Sept 30th, if I plex on the 15th, my next billing date will be Oct 15th, not Oct 30th

Hey, thanks for the reply. That confirms what I suspected (and hoped would be the case). Much appreciated. If anyone else can confirm, please feel free to comment!
