Credit Cards

[7PM789]

I received my first statement and it says

New balance - $143.68
Credit line - $2,500.00
Credit line available - $2,213.00

If only $143.68 posted why is $287.00 of my credit unavailable? Where's the other $143.32?

Did you spend $143.32 sometime recently? Credit line available includes pending charges.

Have you charged gas recently as well? some gas stations are known to put high holds which will be considered pending

I made two purchases which total $143.02 one day before the closing date which I included when I wrote the check. I hadn't taken that in to consideration just now. I suppose the .30 cents was rounded to get an even amount. I am using this card exclusively for gas via my speedpass until the 5% bonus ends but I pay after I pump inside to prevent the high hold when scanned outside. Thank you for your help.
