usa esta fee

Hi hoping someone can answer this the fee for the USA esta is $14 if I’m correct $4 for the application and $10 towards promoting tourism.
I was checking out the official site and came across this
Yes, there is a fee associated with the Travel Promotion Act of 2009. The fee is comprised of two parts:
· Processing Fee. All applicants requesting an electronic travel authorization are charged for the processing of the application.
· Authorization Fee. If your application is approved and you receive authorization to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program, an additional $10.00 will be charged to your credit card. If your electronic travel authorization is denied, you are only charged for the processing of your application.
CBP is not responsible for any additional fees that may be charged by your credit card company for the transaction.
Does the $14 cover application being rejected?

If your application is rejected you will only pay $4


If your electronic travel authorization is denied, you are only charged for the processing of your application

Don't think it could be clearer

Correct.

Taken from the MSE site http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/esta-usa-visa

The system only accepts payment via MasterCard, Visa and American Express. If your ESTA's rejected, you'll still be charged $4 (the admin fee) for applying.
