Credit card charged APPLE ITUNES STORE EUR LUXEMBOURG LU

Hi, i just got my new iphone 4 yesterday, and was downloading a few apps to get me started, i made sure only to download free apps and i am 100% sure of this. For some reason i now have a charge of €1.98 to something called ''APPLE ITUNES STORE EUR LUXEMBOURG LU''


I want to get my money back, and wish to know why this happened

I also discovered a strange transfer (still in 'reserved' status) on my CC account and contacted Apple support.

This is what they told me:

I have great news for you. The amount you’ve seen is not an actual charge but authorization holds that will be reversed by your bank.

Me:so you mean the reservation with be cancelled?

KatrinaPleas know that this is not an actual charge; it's simply a test to confirm that your credit card account is active and has funds available for purchases.

KatrinaYes, that’s correct.

KatrinaRest assured that it will be reversed by your bank but it depends on when it will be reversed.

Me:Ok, how often does that happen?

KatrinaI suggest for you to contact your bank on how they handle authorization holds.

KatrinaNormally, it happens to all our customers having a card on their account as their payment method.
