MVP newbie here - Weird thing - will I be charged?

I gained MVP status in March and am now trying to see what I can milk it for.

So this past Thursday night at 10:01 pm sharp I went online and moved my Friday night flight up 10 hours to the 8:35am departure SEA-LAS. Got a seat in the exit row, aisle. Filled out the info to pay the $25 fee with my credit card and got the confirmation message and boarding pass with new flight and seat #. But …. They have not yet charged my credit card. Which is weird.

- Did I not get charged because I’m MVP? (But benefits chart shows that fee waiver for Gold and above only)
- Or maybe just a momentary glitch and they will submit the charge at some point? It's now three days later and nothing on my card.
- I figure if the card info was typed in wrong they would have not allowed the transaction.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

If it solicited payment, yet failed to charge you, it sounds like it could be a web failure. You can always call in to troubleshoot this.

My guess is it’ll probably show up on your card in the next couple of days.

Charge finally showed up on my card yesterday. And here I thought I'd gotten away with 25 bucks! Does seem strange that it took four or five days.
