Why is the charged amount different from the purchase amount?

In some cases, the final charged amount may differ from the amount displayed when you made the purchase.

This can happen for several reasons:

  • The purchase was made in a different currency and a currency conversion was applied.

  • The merchant adjusted the amount before completing the charge.

  • The merchant placed a temporary authorization, which is common with hotels and car rental companies.

In most cases, the final amount is updated automatically once the merchant completes the transaction.
