$5
Authorization on Credit or Debit Cards
The $5 is an authorization only, not an actual charge. An
authorization is just a check to see if you have a certain
amount open to buy on your card. A charge is an actual purchase.
Most of the time when you make a purchase, the authorization and
charge are the same amount and only appear once on your
statement. Some banks show authorizations on their online
statements, while others do not, since these are not actual
charges.
Authorization is common among music downloads services, with
some of the services authorizing up to $20 at a time. The reason
is that when you buy music downloads, you are more likely to
make several small purchases one after another as you browse and
find different songs you want. To make your purchases go very
quickly, Walmart MP3 Music Downloads authorizes $5 at a time instead
of just the price of the song. This way, you don't have to wait
for us to contact and charge your card for every single song you
purchase. The authorization will be effective for 48 hours, or
until you buy $5 in Music Downloads, at which time your card
will be authorized again for another $5.
In most cases, this authorization will only appear on your
statement until the next time your bank posts. Most banks post
every Monday through Friday nights. Depending on your bank,
however,
the authorization may be active for up to 72 hours over a
weekend. After your bank posts, any authorization from us will
no longer appear on your statement - you'll only see a charge
for the actual cost of the music you purchased, plus any
applicable tax.
