I am a Curve Blue user and I have just experienced one of the most disturbing experiences with Curve ever.
Just went to the gas station to fill up 20.00 EUROS and got charged GBP 50.00£ with an exchange rate of 1£ =0.40€.
Does anyone know how this is possible???
It must have something to do with the preauthorized amount put on the card. I agree that’s not at all how it should be displayed, but doubt that’s the final amount you’ll be charged. It should get adjusted.
That is s pre-authorisation, correct amount filled will clear in about 2 days. It always happens at gas stations, some even reserve £100
It doesn’t represent the final amount. Just a pre authorization. Quite frequent with such cards.
This has been solved! As you guys said it was a pre-authorised charge and it was refunded to me in two days.
