What are ‘Pre-Authorisations’
Pre-Authorisations are similar to pending transactions.

Let us know straight away, and we’ll do our best to investigate the charge and resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Visa has set rules and timelines for the dispute process, which can sometimes take up to 180 days to resolve.
It’s important to know that you will need to contact the merchant to resolve issues relating to refunds or exchanges if you change your mind, Monthly subscriptions or memberships if you wish to cancel.
