What is a Prepaid Card dispute?
If you believe that a prepaid card transaction has been posted to your account in error, you may submit a prepaid card dispute within 60 days of the date that appears on the transaction statement or receipt.
What happens after I submit my dispute?
After we confirm your dispute claim, we may need to contact the merchant and their bank regarding the disputed transaction. In some cases, we may contact you again via Mail if we need more information. We process disputes according to billing error procedures that are governed by federal law and outlined in your Cardholder Agreement. If you provide this information orally, we may require that you send the details listed above in writing within sixty (60) calendar days after we posted the transaction(s) you are questioning. You agree to cooperate fully with our investigation and to provide any additional information or documentation we may need for the claim. Please refer to your Cardholder Agreement for more detailed information.
What should I do before I submit a Prepaid Card dispute?
A quick call to the merchant can often answer your questions and easily resolve your prepaid card dispute. However, if this is not resolved, you may want to submit a dispute.
How do I submit a prepaid card dispute?
Please note the issuer of your prepaid card. You will find the card issuer displayed on the back side of the card near the bottom. Download the corresponding issuer dispute form and fill it out according to the instructions indicated on the form:
All Trans Financial Services Visa Prepaid Card
Transact Payments Limited Prepaid MasterCard
Disputes are subject to time limits in which the investigation may take up to one hundred and twenty (120) days from the transaction settlement date.
You must contact us no later than sixty (60) days after we posted the transaction(s) to the Card Account.
How long will it take to be reimbursed for unauthorized charges?
Up to one hundred and twenty days (120) from the transaction settlement date.
When you swipe or insert your prepaid card at a gas station pump, the gas station will place a pre-authorized hold of up to $125.00 USD or more on your card prior to you filling up.
The actual amount purchased will be processed on the card at a later time, but the initial hold may last for up to 8 days before being released. While the hold is in effect the funds will be unavailable for you to use.
When the transaction settles, you will only be charged for the amount of gas purchased.
To avoid pre-authorized holds, we recommend pre-paying inside the gas station so you can specify the exact amount of gas you wish to purchase.
Some other merchants may have similar practices and even longer maximum pre-authorization timeframes:
In some cases, the merchant may be able to make an exception and release the pre-authorized hold earlier than the maximum allowed hold time.
Why is a transaction still outstanding?
If you notice a transaction under the status “outstanding purchase”, the merchant has not yet cleared the transaction. Transactions are usually cleared by the merchant shortly after the purchase was made.
However, some merchants such as gas stations, hotels, or cruise lines for example may pre-authorize a larger amount than the initial purchase and keep a hold on the funds for a longer time. These transactions will remain “outstanding purchases” until the merchant releases the funds and clears the transactions.
Can I dispute an outstanding purchase?
Please note that you will not be able to dispute a transaction if the status is still “outstanding purchase”. However, the merchant should be able to release the funds early. In order to have the funds released, please refer to section below.
How to release Pre-Authorised transaction?
If you would like to have the funds released earlier than the usual time frame, please follow the instructions below:
The merchant will need to fax a pre-authorisation release letter to hyperWALLET Systems Inc. at +1 604 482-0091.
The signed and dated letter will need to be sent directly from the merchant and will also need to be on company letterhead. The following information must be included for the authorisation to be released:
If the pending authorization is from a car rental, the merchant will also need to supply a copy of the closed contract (showing that the car has been returned).
If the pending authorization is from a hotel, the merchant will also need to supply a copy of the closed folio (showing check in/check out).
