No, Dear. If your booking request is not accepted or expires without a response, there’s No Cost for the booking or any BeSeated service fees.
👉🏻 However, depending on your payment method, you may see a temporary authorization or a refunded charge after a booking request is declined or expires.
Temporary Authorizations and Refunded Charges
Before you submit a booking request, you'll see whether your chosen payment method will place a hold (also known as an authorization) or charge on your account for the amount of the reservation.
If Your Payment Method is Authorized
Some payment methods or locations require that the full amount of the reservation is authorized at the time of your request. If your booking is Accepted, the authorization will turn into a real charge and the amount will be deducted from your payment account.
If the booking request is Declined or Expires, you’ll either see the authorization disappear altogether or appear as a refund in your payment account.
👉🏻 Depending on the processing time of your bank, the release of the authorization may take up to 7 business days.
If Your Payment Method is Charged
Some payment methods or locations require that the full amount of the booking is charged at the time of your request. If your booking request is Accepted, the charge remains and your booking is confirmed.
If the booking request is Declined or Expires, you’ll be refunded automatically. Depending on the processing time of your bank, the refund may take up to 10 working days to process.
