Yes. When you use your Reward Card at some locations (i.e. restaurants, spas, and salons), the merchant may automatically add
a temporary tip/gratuity for an amount up to 20% more than your total bill. Make sure your balance can cover the 20% or your
transaction will be declined. Only the amount you authorize will be deducted from the balance on your Reward Card.
If you use your Virtual Account for a hotel, or car rental purchase, or for similar purchases, the transaction may be
preauthorized for the purchase amount plus up to 20% or more to ensure there are sufficient funds available to cover tips or
incidental expenses incurred. A preauthorized request places a “hold” on those available funds until the merchant sends the
final payment amount of your purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the preauthorized amount on hold will be removed.
It may take up to seven (7) days for the hold to be removed. During this hold period, you will not have access to the preauthorized
amount.
