How can I get an authorization hold removed?
Usually Amazon will remove the hold after their records have been reconciled and catch up to reflect that your purchase has been cancelled. Normally, it takes a few days. If it takes longer, give them a call and ask when the hold will be removed.
Will an 'Authorization Hold' cause me to overdraft?
I am doing some last Christmas shopping for my boyfriend and at the ESPN store online, they claim there will be a 'Hold' on my funds. Which I know means Authorization Hold because I encountered this with 'Abercrombie' shopping, online. If I only have enough for what I am buying, will the hold go through? And will it overdraft my account? I am buying $220 worth of stuff, so will it do another $220 for the Authorization Hold? I can't wait to get paid again and have the money in my account, since that's after Christmas and I am doing next day shipping. Thanks!! Candice
How long does it take for a bank to remove an authorized hold by a merchant from your credit card bill?
In the USA most banks will release the authorization hold after 7 days.
Can I withdraw money that's shown as "pending" in my checking account?
No.Debit/EBT/Checking accounts have money deposited and withdrawn during non-business hours (usually around 12am). But each day, before money is deposited or withdrawn, the bank gives you some rope for one of two options: (1) spend less than you have available or (2) spend more than you have available.Option (1): You spend less and likely never know about the strangeness that happens with lower balance accounts.Option (2): You spend more and start seeing money & everyday transactions do weird things.ExampleYour account balance has been $50 for weeks. Day 1, you go to Chipotle, spend $6, and then put $40 gas in the car - replacing the $46 after payday and leaving the account alone for a week. Then, Day 2, you put $40 gas in the car, go to Chipotle, and your EBT is declined. Why?When you go to Chipotle, they know how much you're purchasing at the time of the transaction. On the other hand, gas stations have no idea how much you'll spend - so they do something called a soft check and temporary hold. A soft check is typically a $1 transaction, simply to verify the account is valid. Next, a temporary hold reserves your account funds for an amount close to what your final bill should be (e.g $50, $75, $100, etc. really depends on the vendor). Once you've completed the transaction with a vendor, they'll send the final purchased amount to your account and your bank will release the soft check and temporary hold, and bill you the final purchased amount during the nightly update (see 1st paragraph).Because banks typically allow transactions that take you into the red, but halt additional transactions, here's what happened in the example.Day 1: $50 account balance - $6 (Chipotle) - $1 (gas soft check) - $50 (gas temporary hold). 50-6= 44-1= 43-50=-7 (no more transactions will get approved)Day 2: $50 account balance - $1 (gas soft check) - $50 (gas temporary hold) - $6 (Chipotle). 50-1= 49-50= -1 (no more transactions will get approved). Leaving your $6 Burrito Bowl abandoned.So, in reality, "Pending" money means "Reserved." Once all reservations have been met, you'll be allowed to resume your normal activities.NOTE: Check deposits can show as pending as well. Most banks don't fully trust their customers. So if you deposit a $500 check, the bank may immediately allow withdrawal of $100, but the other $400 will be pending until your bank feels confident the check is valid (typically after 1 business day).
How long does it take a pending transaction to process?
It depends on what the merchant uses as their "hold" period for authorizations. The way processing systems normally work is that the hold will drop off after the transaction has been posted to your account. In this case since the transaction will never post to your account, it is dependent upon what the merchant used as the expiration date for the authorization. Greendot's customer service can normally remove the temporary hold on your card as long as you show proof that the transaction will not post to your account. The cancellation notice you received from the company may suffice; but I cannot say for sure since I don't know exactly what Greendot's requirements are for removing holds. Either way, the best thing to do is to call customer service to see what you need to provide to have the hold removed or at least check when the authorization will expire.

How long does Amazon take to refund money to your bank card if you cancelled your order?
With reference to Amazon.in there are 3 scenarios when it comes to cancellation of the order and refund.Before the order is shipped or entered the advance shipping stage:If you have cancelled your order immediately after you were charged, then the refund would be processed in 24–48 working hours and would be credited to your account in 2–4 or 3–5 business days depending on how long your Bank takes to credit the amount. But you’ll have to wait for 4 business days for the refund to be credited and then check your statement to confirm about the credit.If no credit call your Bank’s customer serivce with the reference number shared with you via email by Amazon. If no reference number is given then contact Amazon.2. If the card is charged but Amazon did not receive the payment and the order is cancelled:The amount will be auto-credited to your account within 7–25 business days. Amazon would not be able to help in such scenarios because they do not have a confirmation from the bank on the transaction made.3. If the order was cancelled after the order was shipped:The order is first expected to return to fulfillment center before the refund is processed. No exceptions whatsoever.It usually takes 5–10 business days for the return to reach the fulfillment center. Once it is scanned as returned then the refund is processed. The usual refund timeline is followed as mentioned in the first scenario.If refund is processed even after the return shows as delivered to fulfillment center, then contact Amazon.Thanks for the A2A!
Walmart money card order cancel?
"Web and store merchants credit your returns back to your Walmart MoneyCard as they would any other Visa purchase. Store return policies may vary. Depending on the particular store, you may receive a credit to your Card, a cash refund or even a store credit. If a merchant cancels a transaction at your request, it may take up to 10 days for the authorization hold to be removed from your Card." I read that it can take up to 30 day to process a refund on some gift card. I have also read online of people complaining that they never got their refund. I suggest you keep written records of all communications and save all emails.
