Citi Double Cash 30 Day Pending

[Anonymous]

Why does Citi keep (canceled) pending charges for 30 days while most credit cards drop it after a few business days?

[Anonymous]

It's some sort of risk mitigation tool, I've asked many times why and each time the Citi CSRs simply tell me they'll fall off after a "few days." I know that's a canned response because of its ambiguousness, and every CSR repeats it the same way. I've had gas and hotel charges post in their final amounts and the auths will stay there. But you're right, other companies will remove them when the charges post or after about 5 days.

Noticed the same thing and called in. Citi CSR's removed the pending after I pushed. My real charge had gone through many days back.

probably the same reason why payments reduce your balance but do not increase your available credit for up to a week..

This used to happen to my accounts, but it doesn't any more. Now when I make a payment the balance & available credit update immediately.

I haven't experienced this issue, but thanks for bringing it to our attention.
