Hi all - got a really random question.
I was on a flight back from Sweden last week and bought a few snacks mid flight. The account didn’t appear to have enough in, and bounced. It now has enough ££ in, but the payment hasn’t been taken yet.
Any thoughts here as to when it’ll be re-run or what I have to do?
Thanks!
If it bounced, how did you pay while on the flight?
Sounds like you got yourself a free snack if it bounced.
It will have been charged as an offline transaction, to be collected later.
I should probably have stated this actually!
I had £20 in the account. Then I transferred the £20 out, completely forgetting about the pending payment… so then it eventually attempted to be taken, and then I noticed!
A stupid mistake for sure 
Now it makes sense! I’d ensure an amount to match the pending transaction is left in the account for the foreseeable - a retry is likely to happen at any time. If it doesn’t happen in the next few days/weeks/months, you’ve managed to beat the system!
You don’t have an overdraft do you? 
SWT used to take months to actually claim the money I’d paid for train tickets, leaving me with a headache working out my balance. I say ‘used to’, maybe they still do - I use my CC for SWT instead now.
But yes, as @davidwalton says, the transaction may yet be tried again.
Some payments made onboard a flight like drinks, snacks, or duty free can sometimes show up in your feed up to 6 months later, so best to keep an eye out for it.
Awesome, thanks for the help guys!
