<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CygnusCC, post: 7805410, member: 120299&quot;]CC charges have two steps, first the &#039;Auth&#039; which deducts only from your available credit, but doesn&#039;t pull money from your card (it just keeps you from spending it - but you don&#039;t have to pay it back). You&#039;d probably see these as &#039;Pending Charges&#039; if you check your CC online. That stays on there for a week or less. If it&#039;s not &#039;Settled&#039; (second stage) then it simply drops off. It&#039;s not till a &#039;settle&#039; that money is actually pulled from your card that you&#039;re responsible to pay back.</p><p><br /></p><p>It looks like the mint&#039;s approach is to simply &#039;Auth&#039; at the time of order, like John said to make sure your card can handle it (and that it&#039;s a valid card). Then let the Auth drop off until they&#039;re ready to ship at which time they&#039;ll re&#039;Auth&#039; and then Settle when shipping occurs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
