So I resolved my declined card with my customer and the show went through. Now it says HOLD under shipping status. But when I go to Resolve Credit Cards, assuming it's my host's card now, and it says I don't have any cards to resolve.

WTH? :mad:
 
Hmmm... They did say there may be other reasons for a show to be on hold. I guess that warrants a call to HO tomorrow. Let us know!
 
:confused::confused::confused:Aww, Colleen, sorry. The only bright side is that we all will learn from your frustration:(

Could be that with the holiday weekend they didn't update the website fast enough.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean when my card declines but still says 'HOLD'?

A 'HOLD' on your card indicates that the transaction was initiated, but it was not completed due to insufficient funds or other issues. The funds are temporarily reserved, but the transaction has not been finalized.

Why did my card decline even though I have sufficient funds?

There could be several reasons for a card decline, including incorrect card details, a temporary hold by your bank, or restrictions on your card for certain types of transactions. It's best to check with your bank for specific reasons.

What should I do if my card is on hold?

If your card is on hold, you should contact your bank or card issuer to inquire about the status of the hold. They can provide details on why it occurred and how to resolve it.

Will the hold on my card automatically be released?

Typically, holds are temporary and will be released automatically after a certain period, usually within a few business days. However, it's advisable to confirm with your bank for specific timelines.

Can I use a different payment method if my card is on hold?

Yes, you can use a different payment method if your card is on hold. Just ensure that the new payment method is valid and has sufficient funds to complete the transaction.
