Linden Lab recently made changes to its payments processor so your issue may be related to that.

Refer https://community.secondlife.com/t5/Featured-News/Update-Your-Second-Life-Payment-Info-Today/ba-p/2966060

Did you get an email on those lines and not update? It's possible the new payments processor was checking your card details. Even if you did update as requested, $1 is taken but repaid.
