Anyone have any idea when credit cards will be billed for these? I want to be sure I have enough in my account when it gets billed.

I assume they will be charged when the items go from 'in process' to 'in warehouse' or even 'shipped'  So we're talking the spring sometime. I mean, you just wrote credit card there, the whole point is you buy now pay later :D

That looks like what we got a few years ago with the very first round - a plain black box with a printed sleeve that goes over it. It's a nice black box - opens with flaps in a way that it's reusable/reclosable and kind of opens up like a tray. This video shows what they looked like then:

I did not participate in that but a few big differences I see are that the new ones have the official LEGO logo on the top of the box and a Lego set number.  I am thinking that may help with resale value?

The original packaging from the very first round of BrickLink sets were beautiful. They were the same as what is being shown above with the black box and full color sleeve but they also had a spot UV coating on the black box giving it a very high-end feel. You can see the spot UV coating in the video posted above.

And hand numbered.

Looks even better than the originals since it has Lego logo on it. That's the icing on the cake!

And we are getting the minifigures a few sets had theirs canceled. The piece count is lower by around 50 from the original submission.

Which sets had their minifigures canceled?

Brick West studios which was supposed to be in round 2.  When it was finalized the minifigs were removed and some color changes. Can't recall the others from the article I read.

We will ship the first round of pre-orders in early December, including all Castle in the Forest pre-orders. If you ordered in the second (August) wave, your order may ship as late as June 2022.

Due to the global shipping situation, some shipments to the US, Australia, and New Zealand will be delayed as late as February 2022. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Round 2 sets are available for pre-order now through December 15th. Haven't ordered yet? Pre-order here: http://bit.ly/BDP_2021

Very nice. I'm glad they are giving people a heads up on the upcoming charges. Brilliant of them. Instead of getting a handful of bounced bank accounts or out-of-date credit cards. Wonder if this means days or weeks until charge? But good on them for the heads up regardless. I would guess this means it will be a week or less until they charge cards.
