So I popped into ranchman's for a birthday after the game last night and spent 50 bucks (including tip and I still have the receipt). I've had some fraud on my credit card lately so I've been monitoring the Unposted transactions pretty closely. I see today I have an Unposted charge from Ranchman's for 150 bucks. As I only spent 50 it would appear I was overcharged by 100. So i guess my question is would the bar have put a hold on my card which will reverse on Monday when everything processes? Seems like the case to me, but I can't ever remember bars putting something like this on my card before. That said, I've never looked at my balance daily before this fraud happened to me last month so I normally wouldn't notice anything that reverses over a couple day span prior to posting.
