Google: credit card batch processing

United.com for domestic itinerary probably batch processes daily. Air NZ for USD transactions over a holiday? Who knows?

The reality is when the NZ Twitter team first said that paid for reservations would be honored there couldn’t have been any transactions that were actually paid for under the “well, it had to actually be posted to your credit card account to be considered ‘paid’” standard. So they’d be cancelling them all. I think the bigger risk people aren’t taking into account is that the NZ Twitter team might actually have no idea what they’re talking about re:this fare.
