Kurzantwort

AUTH HOLD (Authorization Hold / Pre-Authorization). AUTH HOLD represents a temporary reservation placed on your available balance by a merchant to guarantee payment before the final total is settled.

Wichtig: Was dieser Code NICHT bedeutet

An AUTH HOLD is not a permanent charge or double-billing. Funds are not paid to the merchant during a hold; your 'available balance' is reduced while your 'account balance' remains unchanged until the transaction formally posts.

Bedeutung von AUTH HOLD

An authorization hold (also labeled PRE-AUTH, PENDING AUTH, or TEMP HOLD) occurs when a merchant contacts your card issuer to verify that your account is active and has sufficient funds before goods or services are delivered.

Commonly used by automated fuel dispensers (gas pumps holding $100–$175), hotels (holding room rate plus security deposits), car rental companies, and restaurants (holding estimated meal totals before tips are added).

Under Visa and Mastercard rules, authorization holds must drop off or settle into the final actual charge amount within 1 to 7 business days (up to 30 days for hotel/car rental holds).

So finden Sie den tatsächlichen Händler

  1. Schritt 1 Check the merchant name in your pending transaction list (e.g., 'AUTH HOLD HERTZ CAR RENTAL').

  3. Schritt 3 Wait 2 to 3 business days for the transaction to post at the final actual receipt amount before disputing.
