Went accross at Tijuana a couple of months ago.The way I understood it the credit card was used to pay a bond of sorts that they carge you for if you do not check out of the country/cancel your temporary vehicle import permit within the valid period. They asked the value of my bike. I told them around $7000.00 and I then asked what the fee was and they said around $140.00 if I did not cancel when leaving the country. A good insentive for remembering! Also good to remember to cancel if you want to return in the future with another vehicle. They will not let you in with a vehicle if that is on your/their computer record!
