Why Is My Transaction Still Pending?

Pending transactions are authorization holds placed by merchants to ensure you have enough funds to complete your purchase. Most pending transactions will clear within a few days, but some may take longer, such as:

  • Hotels: Holds for potential incidental charges may remain pending for up to 30 days.
  • Gas Stations: Holds may last until the station finalizes the actual charge.

If the transaction was canceled and still shows as pending, please contact the merchant directly to request that they release the hold.
