If you attach the card to a customer object[0], you can create one off charges whenever you'd like. Stripe will even update the card's details on the customer if the card is reissued[1]. You can then create charges against the card manually through the dashboard (which seems to be what you were looking for based off of your original comment).

Does there always have to be an initial charge (in the example $1.00)?


No. Creating the customer will charge the card $0.00 or $1.00 (depends on country/bank) and immediately refund the charge to verify the card itself, the CVC, the address, etc. In most cases, this tiny charge won't be noticed because of the refund.
