Anyone have this recently or know why this happens? My first reaction was that it was somehow related to the initial authorization charges by the hotel, but I had multiple other hotel stays during this trip that have already posted to my Sapphire Reserve (and for other stays, AMEX).
This is total speculation on my part but when it's happened to me it's usually on unusually large purchases or places that could conceivably have a higher chance of being fraudulent. My assumption is just that maybe Chase is taking a second look at it before posting the charge but again total speculation.
