    Credit Cards tards: Pre-authorization question

    If the order didn't go thru, how long for pre-authorization amount to re-appear on your Credit Card ?


    I odered some stuff online, they took $200 off my Epassporte card as a pre-authorization and then told me they can't complete the order, bu the Card wasn't charged.

    When will these $200 credited back ?

      7-10 days, depending on your issuer, unless the merchant calls for a reversal.

                  Happened to me a couple of times the place that placed the pending charge has to contact Epassporte or you have to wait it can take up to 30 days

                      pending charges can last weeks and months in some cases.

                      Qantas had a hold of $6k on my card for 2 months last year

                          Whoah! The only question I can think of: why?

                          Someone at Westpac told me that pre-auths drop off within a week if the merchant doesn't settle them. I guess I was misinformed...

                              It's extremely rare that a pending authorization doesn't drop off in 10 days or less.

                              I worked for a Visa company for three years and not once did I see an authorization last longer than 10 days. If it does, the merchant is either taking multiple authorizations, or there's a glitch somewhere.
