Online Ordering?

Are you sure that's an actual charge, though? Most retailers run the transaction to make sure your card won't decline as soon as you submit the order, but the actual charge doesn't hit till the item ships.

I believe that charge is a nominal amount, like $1. I got this charge from one of the 4 or 5 items I ordered that's coming from the seller, but not from the rest of the stuff.

I just took a look. The full charge ($6.04) from that one seller hit my card yesterday. I also see a $1 charge from the BP station and it pinged my card before allowing me to pump gas.
 
Often when I get a text from Visa that a charge has hit, I can go to their website and see the charge in "pending," but not in the completed transactions. I had a $150 charge from Amazon yesterday and I had not bought anything so I went to Amazon to see my order history. It was the annual PRIME membership. :rolleyes:

Yeh, this one is not Pending that I can see. As an aside, I think the BP station charged me an extra dollar. It pinged my credit card for $1 and then the pump said "No Receipt Available...do you wish to continue?" I spaced out and hit "No." Then I started over and my card got pinged for the test $1 again...then the full amount. The initial $1 from the aborted transaction did not get credited back. I just don't recall how much gas I bought. But I doubt my first $1 got taken into account, since a second test $1 was charged.

I'd go back and talk to them about it, but don;t want to hear whispers of "Boomer" as I walk away. It ain't worth it for a buck.

I got a strange email from Amazon this morning...

"We identified a small subset of refunds which were issued, but the payment never went through.

You have one or more of these refunds, shown below, and we have since reprocessed your refund. The refund was made to the original payment method, or if unavailable, was applied as an Amazon Gift Card to your account. Refunds typically take 3-5 business days to process and appear in your account."

I looked at my Amazon account and the referenced order was from 2021. I guess I never noticed that I didn't get a refund, and now I have no idea why it was refunded.
