and yes, thank you for those who understood what i am trying to accomplish here.
Agreed. The Pending Charges never come through as real charges (mine never have, but I can see the Pending Charges), so this is not one of those. While I still feel that this is not some nefarious plot to bilk lots of people a small amount each, I also applaud the OP for digging into this since it does reflect poor handling by AA.

Cheers.
