    Epass Majic Money

    I have noticed a scary trend with Epass .. and I'm just wondering if anyone experiences this type of stuff .. and what the cause is :P

    Yesterday I logged into my epass and saw that I Had $7 bucks sitting in there , not enough for a domain so I figuired I'd go splurge my big bucks on Some food at this fancy restaurant down the street , Mcdonalds

    So I go to McD's and get declined for a $6 burger !
    Feeling rather foolish now I pay cash and go back home surprised that my account was declined .. Check epass .. $5 in there! ( 1/2 hour from previous login ) So anyway , I'm expecting a payment so I logged into epass just now and I've got $10 !

    WTF ?

          Must be that pending thingie... when they clear your account, some difference is possible, been there.

              The balance can grow a little now and then when pending charges are dropped. Some places put a $1-$5 pending charge on your account when you signup to make sure the card is legit and 30 days after its dropped and added back to your account.

              The balance can also drop a little especially if you have made transactions in non US$. When you use the card the merchant use the exchange rate that day to make the pending charge and when the transaction settle a day or two later the exchange rate can have changed a little bit.

                      Thanks for the explanation .

                      So We're clear I've been using Epass for 1.5 years I guess now and I've never had a problem that wasn't cleared up on the phone or remedied in minutes
