TO or ON (I'm lost)

How would you say this please?

1. When I made my reservation with your hotel, I booked a room for 5 nights at $517.50. However, I was charged $621.00 TO/ON my debit card. could you please explain why I was charged a different amount than the amount I was originally told?

2. We aren't allowed to charge TO/ON a guest's credit card until we have approval.

3. We charged you $x ON/TO your credit card.

Thank you

Could you please explain to me why it's on for 1 and 3 and TO for 2?

Are you only allowed to say ACCOUNT? I've never heard "charge bill to CREDIT CARD"???

Hi Mister Micawber,

Does the last choice ever come up or is it not something a native would say please?

and when using the verb "reimburse" how do you say How would a receptionist say this in America please?

Is this natural? If I want to say 'I was charged $10" Can you say 'to my account'?

I was charged $10 to my account.

They charged me $10 to my account.

Is this correct?
$10 (it) was charged to my account.

Thanks

Hello Mister Micawber,
Please could you help me one second.
Could I ask you once and for all, I just want to clear something up.

You said above that both are correct but before that you said only TO is correct?

Is it true that when there is a subject you put ON and when there is no subject you put TO?

Which are correct? Is it 1 and 4 or not or 2 and 3?
