When making a purchase, there are some merchants such as gas stations, car rental agencies, restaurants and hotels that will pre-authorize your card for an amount that is more than the actual purchase.

A preauthorization hold will reduce the available balance on your card until the merchant releases it or it expires. Here are some examples:

Fuel Purchases – If paying at the pump, many gas stations preauthorize up to $100.00 to cover the final authorized fuel purchase. Although you will only be charged for the amount pumped, the amount authorized (up to $100) may be held 7-10 calendar days, or until the transaction settles, whichever is first.

NOTE: If you go inside the store to pay, there will not be any holds placed on your card. It is recommended to do this when using your Blueone Visa Prepaid Card to avoid any holds on your account.

Restaurants, Nail & Hair Salons, – Some merchants will add up to 20% of the total sale to cover estimated tips. This is common with restaurants (including fast food establishments) and salons. While you may not choose to tip this amount, the hold may remain on your card for 7-10 calendar days, or until the transaction settles, whichever comes first.

Travel – Hotels and car rental companies require a preauthorization hold on your card to cover the total amount of the final bill. The hold that is placed on your account will not be removed until the transaction is settled or the hold expires. Hotels may hold up to 30 calendar days and car rental companies may hold for up to 60 calendar days.

• During the hold period, you will not have access to the preauthorized amount. If the merchant no longer intends to settle the preauthorized transaction, you may request to have the hold removed. You’ll need to work with the merchant and have them fax the follow pieces of information to 1-801-298-6404 (MUST BE ON MERCHANT’S COMPANY LETTERHEAD):

  • Account number
  • Dollar amount of the transaction
  • Authorization code
  • Merchant ID
  • Date of authorization

• If it pertains to a hotel or car rental, please also include the following:

  • Copy of complete transaction (in/out times)
  • Car must be returned
  • Copy of hotel folio that states the cardholder has checked out

We will review the information and as long as everything matches up with the transaction we can release the preauthorization hold and release the funds being held.
