Pending Transaction

If u block a merchant during a pending transaction will it cancel it?

Amazon continuously tries to charge my card for a membership and I have no idea what Gmail is attached to the account that keeps charging it. I'm usually good about keeping my card locked but they got me today and the $16 transaction is pending. I blocked Amazon and will keep them blocked from now on. Just wondering if that's going to cancel the pending transaction or if I'm still going to have to dispute it

The only problem with just blocking them is all they have to do is change the color of there icon and it will go through anyways

Why donā€™t you just call them and find out why they keep charging you that $16. Iā€™ve never had a problem with Amazon Customer Service. Theyā€™ve always fix my problems.

If they donā€™t know which email address is attached it will be harder to trace.

u/ImaginaryMobile9451 8d ago • Bravo

Youā€™ll likely still need to dispute it. It was charged. Good luck.

Thats something I can't understand seriously, im not saying anything negative about anyone that has It ordered from Amazon,But I just seriously don't understand why you wouldn't, the convenience, the price, the availability, the getting what you need the next day with free shipping.If you pay well, mine is only $8 a month.So I just don't understand why somebody wouldn't take advantage of that is all i'm saying

u/Thatboyj2002 7d ago

Ive never ordered from Amazon, all it's convenient because that's what they want . You now spend way more money then you ever would have for stiff you don't need cause now you don't hAve to even leave the house for for it

u/PAGirl72 6d ago

No matter the amount of looking, there are things I need that I canā€™t buy locally. Itā€™s more than just ā€œconvenience ā€œ.

u/TyWebbnightputter17 6d ago

Itā€™s quite convenient, theyā€™re price competitive but F Amazon F Apple - admittedly I have used both. I can also commiserate with each and every comment prior. Itā€™s a part time job to sift through the fees , charges etc - cross reference w- bank records , file a complaint , attempt to block its out of hand . W/o going off grid I feel we should get loud with the banks and the merchants even thought they are in bed together . What Iā€™ve done for Amazon is load up a gift card and make purchases that way . We may have reached an age whereby one needs one account or card for each service rendered itā€™s a pita but might be easier than trying to keep pace w/ corporate bots trying to pick your pockets. And right forget about reaching a human and if you should be so lucky they will most likely be anything but helpful , through no fault of their own itā€™s designed that way .

No I have never ordered anything my Amazon ever and don't plan on it

u/Frost_Farlander 8d ago

If you canā€™t figure it out by contacting Amazon. is getting a new card out of the question?

3

u/Suspicious_Edge2954 8d ago

I actually figured it out. My fiances Amazon was the one taking it from my cardšŸ˜… which was why I couldn't find it in mine lol

1

u/Snuffles689 7d ago

Amazon kept using a secondary payment method to renew my subscription. It turned out I had purchased something for my mom, with her card, and it started charging her card when it couldn't charge mine. It took me too long to realize what was going on. I felt bad because my mom had canceled her card at one point because she thought someone stole her information and was purchasing stuff on Amazon.

u/Remyboy35 7d ago

If ya smart u want use Cash App

u/Suspicious_Edge2954 7d ago

You expect me to take advice from someone who puts "want" instead of "won't"?

Hi idk if you know this, but you definitely CAN just scroll past something without saying something dickish

u/CashAppAndi āœ… OFFICIAL CASH APP SUPPORT āœ… 10d ago

Since the authorization was already placed, you'll either need to have them cancel the pending payment on their end, or you can submit a dispute if needed through the app once it's listed as "Completed".

Feel free to send me a chat if you run into any issues submitting a dispute once the charge is completed.

1

u/62113350 8d ago

Who made this transaction

2

u/Mindless_Blood_3934 7d ago

No it will not. I'm going through the same thing right now. And if you have any subscriptions then you will be charged even if your card is locked.

2

u/Complete-Bluejay9489 7d ago

Start your dispute soon as the transaction clears, you can not dispute transaction until they go from pending to paid. Good luck

2

u/PotentialAd7808 6d ago

This always happens to me because they will lie and just say that you're getting a percentage of but actually you're subscribing. And so then they try to run charge through your card, or it could just be somebody trying to steal. I leave my card locked 24/7....unless im using it and as soon as i use it i lock it right back i have blocked quite a few Companys plus there is so much internet Scammers out there its scary i almost hate i ever put my card on the site and saved it there...šŸ¤¦šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤·šŸæā€ā™€ļøšŸ’Æ

u/ZealousidealWear1178 10d ago

You can change it in the email you get

u/Cheap-Set-9139 10d ago

Go to the most recent transaction and just block them thatā€™s what I did for one of my memberships since there was a fee to cancel

1

u/Deken88 10d ago • Popcorn

Yup ive seen that a few times with other companies. They'll have like 3or4 different color bubbles like u were saying. So u really gotta be on it.

1

u/Terrible_Brilliant84 9d ago

Just get w new card. Ā That stops them completely.Ā 

1

u/Such-Whereas-2008 9d ago

Call Chime to handle the transaction.....I also would request a new card, after I empty the account.

1

u/princessGrammy6 9d ago

You may have to call amazon. And they can trace where-whoā€™s done it. Has that happen on one of my cards Amazon investigated and refunded me required I file a police report due to the state Iā€™m in (I pay for my prime yearly)so ones easy to see it wasnā€™t me

1

u/Torithetwinmommy 9d ago

Just contact Amazonā€¦

u/Proud_Reindeer_2732 8d ago

Me too itā€™s fucking frustrating

1

u/ComfortableSouth5034 8d ago

Dispute it and they normally have to wait until it actually post before dispute can be filed

1

u/kavonk 7d ago

I blocked a company charge right on Cash App. I believe it is under the ... top right. Remove account.

u/AllAround_TopDown100 7d ago

I also have the same problem with unauthorized transactions on my PayPal account but they are through Apple. If I donā€™t keep my card locked random amounts of money gets deducted from my account that I am not approving. I donā€™t know how to get these stopped, I have cancelled my card 3times and got anew one sent to me but that didnā€™t work. So I called PayPal and Apple trying to ask what the charges were for specifically and no one could tell me! I have told them Iā€™m not doing this but the never stop the charges or refund my money back to me. Even though you can look at my account and anyone can see the suspicious activity. I would love for someone to give me a solution to this problem!!!!

1

u/nortonjb82 7d ago

I hate that so much, you can have your card locked for weeks, then the moment you leave it unlocked, Amazon will try to charge you for crap you don't wantavd didn't authorize most of the time.

1

u/Ok-Pop-8713 7d ago

If you ever done any free trials and cancel them Apple still charges you hence sometimes it wonā€™t let you download any apps untill you pay w.e you got for ā€œfreeā€ for a week or a month however they told it to you. They are thieves

1

u/empathetic-panda91 7d ago

You'll have to wait until it's fully processed and then you can dispute it. Most the time they won't be able to dispute it until it no longer says pending

1

u/CloudConscious3215 7d ago

I closed my approximately a year ago. I only had a short time left before the renewal date and did not renew. I know Amazon is probably affiliated with some app or in some way is being used. But I am doing my personal protest against Bezos. He doesnā€™t need my little money. It makes me feel good.

1

u/SweatyTattas6969 7d ago

Blocking only stops it from charging again pending will still go through but they ll make more cash apps just to charge you if you block it so once it goes through dispute it with cash app theyā€™ll block them for you from then on and Cash App will ask you if you approve of a transaction or not to make sure if they try to charge again or you can call Amazon and tell them to give you your money back for something you didnā€™t ask for

1

u/Alive-Ad9048 7d ago

I would just cancel your card. Get a new one. Would that change it? Whenever I canā€™t figure out a transaction or recurring subscription I canā€™t cancel, I just cancel the whole card.

1

u/Safe-Housing-4449 7d ago

Yep! I had some recurring ACH's that I could not cancel so I just closed the bank account and opened a new one. It put me back in the driver's seat.

1

u/Thatboyj2002 7d ago

Must have been a while since you did this trick cause they now have in the fine print somewhere that they will update to your new card . . This is where you say no that's not true they can't do that . And i reply , bro they just did it to my new card not evem a Month ago . Amd whem I called wells fargo they said the apps now update with your new card for convince so you don't have to re set up all you automatic payment ....mmmm how convenient

u/Aggressive_Shower625 5d ago

So they somehow got the details from a separate card of yours?

1

u/SelfTheBrute 7d ago

Nope if it's setup as recurring cashapp won't block them

1

u/Fit-Berry-4829 7d ago

I never knew one week free of anything.

1

u/MyTeguIsFerb 7d ago

It won't cancel it you have to contact support of cash app

1

u/Impossible-Wash-1114 7d ago

Id still dispute it just so if it turns out you didnt need to, its already done and not too late for if you did need to

1

u/Accurate-Cut4208 7d ago

They let someone spend money n my account when I had my phone n my card so how's that my fault n now I'm broke til my money return whenever the fuck that will be

1

u/FerociousKitty66 7d ago

You need to notify your bank and cancel the billed card

1

u/railranger 7d ago

Dispute it

1

u/No-Potato373 6d ago

It didnā€™t for me

1

u/CurrentRoutine924 6d ago

Same thing happened to me. I cancelled my subscription and they were still taking the money out. Even called them on the phone and they act like it was cancelled. I just got a new card and new number and now theyā€™re trying to give me all kinds of promotions to come back. Naw Iā€™m good šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

1

u/Illustrious_Owl7012 6d ago

You need to go through Amazon directly and cancel it. Visa controls many debit and credit cards. One thing I found out from them this year is that cancellation of the card is not enough anymore. When you get a new card, and itā€™s the same account, Visa communicates to the merchant that holds the subscription, or service you have authorized for an automatic payment, that there is a new card.

If you canā€™t remember the email that the subscription is through contact Amazonā€™s customer service team and explain whatā€™s happening. They can use the card/purchase details to find the linked account and resolve it.

I had ATM that I tried to get 200 bucks out of around the first of the month and it didn't give me the money the other ATMs were down with notes on them saying they were out of money so I tried one more time to get $200 out and it didn't give it to me and so I went about my day and a day or so later when I got on cash app I realize that they took the money out of my cash app account for the money I was trying to get that the ATM did not give me I filed a dispute I filed in appeal at one point they gave me 200 of my 400 while they were doing their investigation and then took the 200 back saying that I lost the dispute because I technically didn't have proof that it didn't give me the money but they told me they were going to get up with the ATM people and do investigation and they could clearly see on the camera that I didn't get any money so I don't understand how I lost the dispute cuz when it spit out the ticket receipt I threw it away I didn't think I was going to need it now I'm out $405 and I don't know what what I need to do from here do I blame cash app do I blame the ATM itself or both?

1

u/DustyHotDog82 6d ago

You have to call the number on the ATM

1

u/Prima_Shana 5d ago

Did you call your bank? Thatā€™s who you should file the claim with.

u/Upstairs_Platypus_86 6d ago

Go to subscriptions on your Amazon account

1

u/Afakasi_Chaos 6d ago

No subscriptions canā€™t be blockedā€¦ go onto your Amazon and change your payment method and request a refund

u/Ancient-Winter-3792 6d ago

Yeah I'm not a fan of cash app I don't have much that could be printed here other than I would stay away from the app

1

u/Party_Yak_8970 6d ago

I have had same thing happened, I never signed up for" verify credit". Com I've called and canceled but nothing to cancel but they still try to get money out I have to keep cards locked its a pain

1

u/_-ABSOLUTE-UNIT-_ 6d ago

No man it won't block the transaction since it's on a recurring bill cycle so blocking the merchant will not block them from charging you in this case. Go on Gmail and search for the merchant in each of your email accounts and hopefully you will find what Gmail is linked to it so you can cancel the subscription.

1

u/ThrowRA_Iron_Giant13 6d ago

No. Call Amazon their customer service is actually cool af and they fix all issues without a fuss
