My card declined but was still charged?
Is this a debit card or a credit card? If they really are holds and not charges, they usually drop off in 2-3 days. However, you should call your bank to confirm that. Also, you may be able to get them dropped sooner. If it was a debit card, the money may have been withdrawn from your account. I suggest that you call the bank and check this out. Also, I suggest that you never use a debit card for online transactions. If you have a computer problem, or the website crashes, the transaction may go through but appear that it didn't. With a credit card, you can easily dispute the transaction before you have to pay. With a debit card, the money comes out of your account right away. If you don't realize that there was a problem, you can overdraw your account. I formerly worked for an e-commerce company and saw this happen many times.
What is a card hold and why am I being charged for it?
A card hold is not an actual withdrawal, but it is money you cannot spend until the hold expires. Forever 21 put a $100 hold on your card to verify it was active. Then when they figured out the exact amount of the charge, they put through a charge for the actual amount of $213.44. In a couple days the $100 hold will disappear. This is why you should never run your balance down too low. For example, many gas stations put a $50 or $75 hold on a card when you first swipe it and before you even pump gas. If you don't have that much available on your card, it won't authorize a purchase. Then even if you only got $10 worth of gas, it might take a couple days before the $50 or $75 hold drops off. So let's say you have $100 in your account. You go to the gas station to get $20 worth of gas. The pump puts a $50 hold on your account when you swipe it. After you buy your $20 of gas, the hold might take 2 days to drop off your account, and meanwhile instead of the $80 you think you can spend, only $30 is available to you because of the $20 you spent PLUS the $50 temporary hold.
Why does shell only charge $1 on my card when I get gas?
Its the gas station checking to see if the card is valid.
What happens if a credit card charge doesn't show up on the statement? I made a large purchase of furniture over a week ago on a visa card. The furniture has been delivered, but the charge does not show up on my card as pending or processed.
What happened for your situation? There’s no info how they got your card to begin with. The most likely scenario is someone forgot to charge you. It’s also possible there was a technical issue with settlement, or with the software processing the transaction; This is less likely, but it does happen, and it’s usually found in the reconciliation process. Best answer- if you want to do right by them, call them up, and here’s why:All preauthorizations expire within 24 hours for swiped transactions and 3 business days for non-swiped card-not-present transactions. Preauthorizations are an ‘open to buy’ hold on a customer credit card and are often reflected in real-time in your online banking, shown as an amount pending. Visa allows merchants to settle a card not present authorization up to 7 calendar days from the date on which the first Authorization Request was received. (Visa core rules, Table 5-15: Approval Response Validity Periods)While merchants can still settle transactions after an expired authorization, the authorization is invalid, generating penalty fees and increasing chargeback risk.Merchants frequently say, ‘I’ve never had a problem settling a transaction later than that in the past’. That’s true, most issuers will still allow merchants to settle the transaction up to 30 days, but it’s at their discretion.

When does my credit card get charged for motel 6?
Every single hotel is different. Some just charge you for the first night when you make the reservation.

What happens when a credit card is charged above its credit limit?
Automatically you card is stopped from taking further transactions. If you present it, and particularly now that we have near global on line clearing (Chip ‘n Pin) accounts over limit and fraudulent use are picked up near automatically.Depending on the age of the account and the length of time you have regularly used it, you may be given lee-way, but expected to bring the account in order in 24 hours.Rather like the restaurant situation, for the guest there is the initial embarrassment of having the card refused; equally it makes the Reception / Serving uncomfortable too.However the situation you outline is considerably more serious:In the case of the hotel, you have done criminal damage (there was intent- and don’t blame it on the beer) and you are legally obliged to “make good”. That means pay for the damage you have caused, and it righting; as well as the loss of earnings that hotels has suffered in not being able to let that room out.The hotel will take the maximum of Credit left on facility of that card. They can then charge you for the balance of the bill to be paid in cash. If you can’t and given there is criminal damage as well, the Police are likely to be called. You have not only committed an act of fraud (knowing that you could not pay the bill) as well as the criminal damage.Not only are you liable for the damage, but you can be brought before Magistrates for being Drunk and Disorderly, causing a Breach of the Peace,with intent ; (you should know when you have had enough- no good blaming it on the beer). In the case of Magistrates not only can this create an order for the damage to be paid for but either a substantial fine, in some cases detention as well.So if you can’t hold your drink, don’t drink and/or learn when you have had enough. If you damage things then don’t think that the hotel/restaurant’s insurance is going to pay out: you are liable, and again pursued in Court.
La Quinta Inn credit card charging issues?
TOO LONG DON'T WANT TO READ VERSION: Is it a common occurrence that La Quinta Inn ties up your funds on your card, ( 1 hold authorization upon check-in, and then another actual charge at check out instead of using the first authorization) (and the longer you stay, the more they charge)? Read below for more details. I am considering staying at a La Quinta Inn in Orlando to be close to Universal Studios. However, upon looking on their website I can't seem to find the policies on them charging my credit card. I know that if I book on hotels.com I will not be charged a deposit, but there's a significant discount that is available directly through La Quinta's website that I would consider booking there for. My dilemma is that I've read about some people having 2 holds (of the full stay amount) on their account, 1 upon check-in, and another upon checking out. As if the clerks processing the payment didn't know to use the first authorization to complete the payment. This would be a weeklong stay, so if that is the case, I would look elsewhere, because that would be tying up over $1000 in my bank account. I'm waiting on customer service to get back to me, but i'm hoping someone who has spent a stay there is available sooner to help me out!
