Actually if the thing tries to charge you I'm pretty sure it's a scam. The visa waiver is supposed to be free. Unfortunately I learned this the hard way.
Jimmy the Squid:
Or at least the expensive way.
E. Spaceman:
Assuming you are talking about the ESTA, it is free and you should bever pay for it ever. Ask tommy for some details about it.
Barmymoo:
I have a valid visa waiver at the moment, but the US government are introducing a fee from September. It isn't exactly a lot but still.

Relevant FAQs from U.S. Customs and Border Protection
--- Quote ---Q: What about the $10 fee for ESTA?
A: The ESTA application is currently free. Congress has passed legislation titled the “Travel Promotion Act.” This law calls for DHS to collect a fee from Visa Waiver Program travelers to promote travel to the United States.
Q: I have seen other websites that are assisting travelers in applying for their ESTA application. Is there a benefit to using one of these other sites?
A: No. Use of a private service to apply for travel authorization via ESTA will not expedite approval. Third party websites that charge a fee to provide information about ESTA and to submit ESTA applications for VWP travelers are not endorsed by, associated with, or affiliated in any way with DHS or the U.S. government.
