7 days ago I go into a local Canadian Tire store and make a purchase for $106.04 Canadian using the Visa Electron card. Canadian Tire requests authorization for the charge, they are given the authorization code of 012823. Epassporte deems that charge to be $98.96 U.S. and they remove that amount from my account. When the actual charge is processed the exchange rate has changed, and it is now only $98.49.

The EXACT same thing has happened to me from a purchase made at Canadian Tire, with me getting double billed for $37.65. The original charge is still marked as pending.
I almost missed it because when I checked my account after making the purchase, the amount was correct and marked pending. This was May 26. A few days later a "new" charge showed up in my Epass account for the same amount, marked as cleared. Although the second charge showed up a few days later, it was still dated for May 26.
Canadian Tire also told me they can't do anything about it.
