However, it is still not showing up on my list of online transactions, nor has my available credit been reduced by the appropriate amount. I want to ensure this cheque has gone through, so that I can initiate the bill payment to incur the lowest amount of interest possible on the loan, but I am worried that the cheque may have been rejected for whatever reason -- e.g., perhaps I didn't write the correct card expiration date next to my signature on the cheque.

Does anyone have any knowledge of how long it typically takes for these cheques to be processed?
