Does pending mean I was charged?
What happens when a charge is pending
A pending charge, also known as a 'hold', is an approved transaction that your issuer has yet to post to your account balance. This may be because a merchant wants to check you have enough funds available or you made the transaction outside of your issuer's business hours.

Do pending charges go away
Usually, a pending charge will show on your account until the transaction is processed and the funds are transferred to the merchant. This could typically take up to three days but may stretch longer depending on the merchant and the type of transaction.

Why is a charge pending
Pending credit card charges are ones that have been authorized but haven't yet cleared. When a pending transaction happens, a hold is placed on the funds needed for that charge.

Why did my pending charge disappear
Sometimes pending transactions may disappear from your transaction history and the amount is returned to your available balance. This means the transaction has expired and at this stage has not been processed by the merchant. If this happens, your dispute will be closed.
Can you dispute a charge that is pending
Only posted transactions can be disputed (pending charges are temporary and may change). If you have any immediate concerns about a pending charge, contact the merchant directly. The merchant's contact information is typically found on your receipt or billing statement.
Can a pending charge reappear
A pending charge generally indicates to merchants that funds are available, even if the transaction hasn't cleared yet. However, if the merchant never attempts to clear the transaction, the charge expires, and the amount is returned to the debit or credit account.
Can a bank reverse a pending charge
A pending transaction can be released or reversed at any time if the merchant submits a request to the Bank.
Why can’t a pending transaction be disputed
Because pending charges are temporary and may change, only posted transactions can be disputed.
Do pending transactions come out twice
If a Pending Transaction appears on your Card Account twice, it does not necessarily mean your Account will be billed twice. Certain merchants, such as internet companies, may authorise a charge when you place an order. The merchant may then authorise your Card again when the amount is due.
How long does it take for a bank to reverse a pending transaction
Pending transactions generally take 3 to 5 business days to process. Although some can take up to 10 business days. If you let a merchant use your card for pre-authorised payments (like a security deposit for a hotel booking or car hire), you can expect to wait up to 7 days for your payments to be credited back to you.
How long does it take for a pending payment to reverse
In general, pending transactions can't be reversed or cancelled. Usually transactions stay pending on your account for up to 8 days, but can sometimes take up to 31 days (i.e. hotel & car rental deposits). Transactions are automatically reversed if the merchant does not collect the funds within this time.
How long does it take to dispute a pending charge
The time it takes to resolve your dispute depends on the type of dispute and the merchant, but it may take up to 60 days for credit card disputes and 90 days for debit card disputes. Keep in mind, disputes are often resolved more quickly if you contact the merchant first.
What happens to the merchant when you dispute a charge
Once the payment dispute is officially filed, it officially progresses to a chargeback. The funds are moved from the merchant's account to the consumer's. The merchant has no say in this; in fact, the seller may not even know about the dispute until the money is debited from their account.
What happens if a pending transaction never goes through
A pending charge generally indicates to merchants that funds are available, even if the transaction hasn't cleared yet. However, if the merchant never attempts to clear the transaction, the charge expires, and the amount is returned to the debit or credit account.
Can I use my available balance if I still have money pending
Customers can use the available balance in any way they choose, as long as they don't exceed the limit. They should also take into consideration any pending transactions that haven't been added or deducted from the balance.
Can pending money be taken back
Canceling a pending transaction usually requires contacting the merchant who made the charge. Once a pending transaction has posted, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute it.
Can a bank process a pending transaction
A transaction typically stays pending for one to three business days. During this time, your bank or financial institution processes the request and transfers money from one account to another according to your purchase or deposit amount.
How do I cancel a pending transaction
