Hi All, I just used Apple Pay on two vending machines today, bought $0.75 candy on one machine and a $1.35 soda on another. BOTH transactions charged me $1.50, I confirmed 2 "Pending transactions" for $1.50 each on my credit card account. Anyone know if this some kind of hold, and the correct amount will eventually be charged?
Hi ..
Very likely authorization holds. Same is true of purchasing from the iTunes & App Stores > iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About payment card authorization holds - Apple Support
Monitor the account used for making those purchases for credits. It can take anywhere from 24 hours to three business days.
Yes, mine does the same thing. the $1.50 is the pending transaction and once it settles in a few days and posts to your card it will be the correct amount. The $1.50 is just the preauthorization just like the gas pump charges your credit card $1.00 at the beginning just to make sure your card is active.
Thanks Jay-Ray, you are correct, took a day and the transactions are corrected... all set. 🙂
