Well, I decided to put my first charge of $10 on my new Open Sky card so that I could pay it right back, which would have been the $35 AF plus $10 I spent at Ross. I told the cashier that I wanted to put the purchase on two different cards (the balance being $33 & change. She said to put the first thru(which I used Open Sky) she put the entire amount on that card.
I then had to do a return and they credited that amount back to Open Sky and a new transaction was done.
What should I do? When I look at my account it shows both transactions as pending but, not the credit for the return, yet. Should I pay the two pending ($43.39 + $10 + $35 AF) and leave $2 to report, now , or wait until I see the $43 credited to my account?
I do not want to mess this up.
Help please.
"pending" is just a handshake and means nothing. wait for the charges to "post". that is the actual amount you will pay. the pending that was returned will most likely never post on your statement. if it does it will show as a "credit" against your total statement, along with the total purchases.
don't sweat the small stuff. use your card and when some charges add up and post, pay em off.
Whew!!!! Thanks so very much. I feel better.
