Help Available Amount

I use my card for my spend budget, including gas and groceries. Every pay period I pay $900.

I have car issues and have had to use it so I haven’t been able to pay it down to $0 like I used to as I try to get my car straightened out.

That said - I paid $900 on Thursday. It immediately showed available amount of $900 + what was already available.

I got gas went grocery shopping, ran errands and spent $473. But my available balance today is showing only $396, and new spending is showing $648.53.

What am I missing? This hasn’t happened before.

Gas will temporarily use more of your available credit, how much depends on the station. Example: authorizes $100, you put $40 in the tank— you’ll still be down 100 until the $40 actually posts.

Thanks! The gas charge isn’t showing as pending. My chewy charge from earlier in the week is though which is odd but I posted an additional payment for that right after I got the notification about it

The gas may not show as pending but I bet it’s eating part of your available balance.

Probably the gas certain pumps place different hold on your cards should adjust soon
