Managing Delayed transactions (Amazon/eBay)

I’ve requested a feature to enable Monzo users to help manage these pending payments here (managing payments from Amazon is mentioned later in the thread) -

Managing Pending Payments When A Lower Authorisation Amount Has Been Taken

I’ve just come across this comment in the This is whats wrong with my bank…(my wishlist) post. These lower authorisations, followed by a larger amount being debited from your card obviously makes it much harder to manage your balance. This issue could partly be solved by enabling users to set aside the actual amount that’s due to be debited from the card, a variation of this idea but that would be a manual process. Does Mondo know what the final amount that will be charged will be? If so,…

if the solution you’re suggesting would work best for you or you prefer one of the other options that’ve been discussed, please do share your thoughts in that topic
