How do pre-authorized amounts affect my balance?
A pre-authorized amount reduces the balance of available funds until the merchant clears the transaction. For example, if you have a balance of $700 on your card and the merchant pre-authorizes $500, you will have $200 balance open for use until the pre-authorization clears. The pre-authorized amount needs to clear by the merchant first before you can load more to your EP Travel Card.
