What is a pre-authorization?
A pre-authorization, or pre-auth, is a type of authorization that reserves (holds) an amount on the customer's card for the merchant to process later. If the transaction is not processed (known as post-authorization) by the end of the hold period, the amount is added back to the available balance on the cardholder's credit card. The customer is not billed.
Pre-authorizations are common in the hotel industry, where the amount of the expected stay is "reserved" on the cardholder's credit card. You can also tell if any transactions have been pre-authorized if you check your online banking; if your current balance and available balance don't add up, some funds are being reserved for purchase.
