Why is a pending transaction different than the actual amount?

An authorization may vary from the final purchase amount in situations where there is an estimated authorization amount or a tip is involved.

Example: At a restaurant, an authorization is requested prior to a tip being added. The final purchase amount will include the tip.
Example: At the gas pump, an initial authorization is requested prior to dispensing fuel and determining the final amount of the purchase. Many pay-at-the-pump gas purchases are initially authorized for $1 no matter the final purchase amount.
Example: At a hotel, an authorization in the amount equal to the entire stay plus an estimated amount for incidentals may be made. This can also be true of cruise lines and car rental companies.

How do I file a card dispute?

Before filing a dispute, contact the company who processed the item to resolve with them. They may require you to supply proof of the charge such as:

A receipt
A copy of your account history or
