They don't actually take the £1 off your credit card, they simply authorise the deduction. It's a precaution to make sure that your credit card is actually valid.
It does temporarily reduce your credit limit by £1, but it won't actually affect your balance, so you won't be charged any interest or be asked to pay that money off. After a few days, that authorisation expires, and the £1 holding fee will simply disappear from your account.0
